Some thoughts, as a hobbyst, what photographs are important and not so important (2).

Second of a series. Some more important photographs.

Some photographs are a bit more important to me because of the memories associated with the shoots.

Here some examples:
In some Australian states there is an informal photography group called "Focus"
See next post for the "Focus" website.

One of the activities is organised coastal shoots some of which are at dawn.
We normally meet 1/2 hour before first light to get set up.
Depending on how the light goes we will normally leave and go and have breakfast at a local cafe.
It is good to see how over people work a you may learn a few things.
The guys who live over on the coast know all the good eateries.
My wife, who has attended a couple of these, asked "are the breakfasts all ways this good".
One of the subjects usually discussed over breakfast is photography. The only downside is when the subject of how much money the hobby costs and potential photography excursions to overseas destinations. Not good when my partner is present.

Here are some samples. The guys in the gully, at Bombo, are not members of our group and this is a good example of how not to do it.

Thanks for looking and more to come and feel free to ask questions and contribute.

Number 2 is an excellent shot.

I'm afraid there is a curiosity humming inside me, wondering what the shots taken from the boneyard look like.
