tlc Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Hi Guys, just wanted to post here about one of my images being displayed in an exhibition in the Hamilton art gallery. I entered the picture into a competition a while ago and there was over 600 entries into the competition which had a few different categories. All the images are on display in the gallery till mid October so we will go up at some stage and have a look. This was the brief, The focus is on ‘Celebrating Farm Life’, and professional and amateur photographers alike are invited to enter photographs in the following themes; Of droughts and flooding rains – Impact of weather events Red sky at night – Farming environment Country wisdom – Safe farming practices Working the land – Agriculture at work Malting barley to Mallee bulls - What we grow Future farmers – What does farming look like in the future Images of farm life (primary school section) I choose the first category and used a picture I took back in July, I took the photo with my Canon G1X and there was just something about it, so I thought I would enter it and see how it went. I don't care at all about not winning but I thought it was a bit special to actually have an image in a gallery! :) There is a clip on You tube if anyone wants to have a look, my images is at 54 seconds. I was stoked they included it in the clip as they obviously couldn't include all 600 odd images. The image in the you tube clip looks quite muted compared to how I edited it, so not sure if it is just the printers they used, I was a little disappointed it wasn't exactly like it was on my screen but it is only a video clip it might look better in real life, I will see when I go and check it out. I can't wait to see all the other images as well. This is the image Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gillybob Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Thats a wonderful shot, you can see the families and their lives sorta looking out the spaces. Look at that chair? on the right. I could see that in an embroidery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tlc Posted September 18, 2012 Author Share Posted September 18, 2012 Thanks guys, the funny thing is about how it looks is I've viewed it on Mac, my of and my OHs PC, my mums PC and my friends PC and it looks the same on all of them so that's whynI thought it looked a but muted? Planning on heading up there in the next couple of weeks so I'll find out if it's just the video or if it is really printed like that. Anyway no matter still chuffed it's in a gallery, how amazing. :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tlc Posted September 18, 2012 Author Share Posted September 18, 2012 Yes it's funny because my mum lives 2 min walk from this place and drives past it when she goes to do her weekly shopping and she always thought it was just an old shed in a paddock. What got me about it and caught my eye was the fire place collapsing, it just made it interesting. I have a few more shots of it but further away which I preferred but the didn't look quite so dramatic to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirislin Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 congrats. It must feel pretty good to see it up there on the wall. Years ago a pastel drawing I did was put up on the wall in a gallery. I felt like going up to everyone who looked at it to say "I did that!" I managed to refrain though.

tlc Posted September 18, 2012 Author Share Posted September 18, 2012 In hindsight now I wish we had of went to the opening night which was Monday night, we didn't due to work but as it turned out I was home sick so couldn't have went anyway. I found the video by a fluke. I'll probly be he same if there's others there the day we visit. :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
