Cee’s Black & White Photo Challenge: Small Subjects

Small is Relative

On Saturday I visited the Hobart Model Train Show and of course all the exhibits there are small but some are really small. The smallest layouts at the show were the ones entered in the “A4 Challenge”.

The A4 Challenge  – build a railway themed scene no larger than a sheet of A4 paper.

Tiny people and tiny accessories.

A tiny road gang

Freight loads for tiny trains.

I love photographing the miniature scenery nearly as much if not more than the trains.

A lovely little town in miniature.

There were also some miniature traction engines on display and while these are considerably bigger than the model railway layouts they are small compared to the real thing.

Cee’s Black & White Photo Challenge: Take a New Photo, Any Topic

 New B&W by Vanda

We had some lovely spring like weather until this challenge came out. Then guess what happened? Yes, it rained and rained so my photos this week were taken in the garden on Sunday 13 August.

Cee’s Black & White Photo Challenge:Paths and Trails

Paths in Oatlands

It was raining heavily last night and there were showers this morning in Oatlands and I didn’t think I would get out today but I did in the end. I put the dogs on their leads and I ventured out dog’s leads in one hand and camera in the other. Despite the weather I managed to get a few photos of paths and trails. Most are taken around the mill complex, Callington Park, Lake Dulverton and High Street here in Oatlands. Oatlands is really very interesting with lots of history and beautiful old Georgian buildings that make for great photography and works of art. I love my walks and strolls down the High Street. Here are a few of the pictures I took this afternoon after lunch.

Cee’s Black & White Photo Challenge: Paths and Trails

Paths in the school playground

This afternoon I played hooky from chores and went out to take some photos for Cee’s challenges. I did not go far from home. These photos were taken in the play area at the back of the school near my house.  I had gone over there to take photos in the attached cemetery (it is a Catholic school) and found the play areas very intriguing and full of photo ops. As was Saturday there was nobody around so no child’s privacy was invaded during the taking of these photos.

I must say they have some very cool play areas and I will show them in a bit more detail, and in colour, in another post. I especially liked the walkway made with old tyres so I included it as a path of a different kind.

I think this path may be part of a bike track.

I decided to use things I saw at The Tasmanian Transport Museum for this challenge. Nearly everything there was numbered either because it had numbers on it anyway or because it was an exibit. Here they are.
