Earlier this week I found myself in Brisbane, waiting. For 6 hours, it turns out. I was prepared though. I had my camera, with new lens fitted and a plan to go for a wander. I dropped off my passenger and was in the city by 6:45am. Strolling through King Edward {I’m sure it was Edward, I’m not certain though} Park by just after 7am.
It turns out you really do have to do a lot more leg work with a 50mm prime lens. But that’s okay I enjoyed it, it was such a beautiful morning. The air is already so crisp and fresh, mmmm Autumn. I walked and took pictures. People stepped around me and smiled. I smiled. We nodded in acknowledgement. People, they are just nicer in the morning apparently.
And coffee tastes better when you’ve been awake since 4am. So my next stop was a cafe. Rain was coming and my bag was heavy. I smiled at a man seated on a park bench and said good morning. He scrunched up his face and said nothing. Clearly my window had closed. The nice had left the building. It was 8:05. Theory confirmed.
The end.
Hi! I’m Suger; Chief Blogger at Suger Coat It. Blogging since 1901; love a casual ootd, taking photos + writing about things that irk or inspire me. I love wine and cheese, long days in the sun at the beach and spending time with my family. I make stuff for the internet. Which means I take photos, create content, write copy and devise social media plans for personal brands, small businesses and bloggers. You know, living the sweet life.
Hello. I recently found your blog after searching on pinterest for plus size outfit ideas. I used to do a lot of plus size photo and video posts in the past – but my hubby works a weird schedule now and sadly is not available to help me so I’m doing it on my own. I wanted to ask you – do you have help with your outfit photos – does someone take the images for you or do you just set up a tripod like I do and take your photos? I apologize to be a bother – I just really like all of your outfit posts and while I know that camera has a lot to do with it – you look super comfortable in your images. I appreciate you taking the time to answer me. Sending smiles & hugs from Hawaii. 😉 Honey
Hi! Welcome aboard. Haha. I use a tripod occasionally, not very often anymore because my husband takes most of my photos. That doesn’t help you out much but the best advice I ever received about tripods was to get one that extends to your eye height, use a remote {a cheap one from eBay works fine}, take the photos in good light and take lots and LOTS of them. All the best Honey. Actually, we should be friends! They call me Suger and your name is Honey. A sweet pair! Haha.
Nice photos
Thank you. 🙂
Do you find back in your hometown that you don’t just get a smile, you get a ‘ good morning ‘ as you walk past each other? I find here in my country town, you get a nod and a ‘ good morning ‘ when I’m out for a walk…. Unless the person has an IPod in and then just a no go zone!
In my town people are pretty friendly, it still has that small town vibe. But even then, people are busier and crankier in general I think. Haha. And the iPod thing, absolutely, forget it!
Love the red chair shot
Thank you.
I’ve noticed this too 🙂 I live a 10 minute walk from the ocean, and when I can haul my butt out of bed in the morning I’ll go for a walk along the foreshore. There’s always a few people out either jogging, walking their dogs etc. All the old people will say good morning! Haha, joggers not so much though
After doing a bit of jogging myself, I blame the whole trying to breathe thing. Haha.
