Above and below the waves

My Scholarship entry - Above and below the waves

Sri Lanka | Friday, November 14, 2014 | 5 photos

I have often wondered what life would be like outside the realm of concrete! This trip encompasses my 2 passions. Nature and photography. I have longed to fund trips like this for myself to see more of the world and become a better photographer. I'm an avid traveller and at 22, I have already visited 29 countries and scuba dived in most of the oceans! I got into photography about 5 years ago when my restlessness for exploring got the better of me and I decided I needed a camera to document my travels. Unfortunately this did not suppress my ever-growing need to hear that shutter click. I soon found myself taking shots of birds on a bird table that I set up. The rest is history. I enjoy nothing more than being surrounded by nature and animals. I write this while sitting in my room reading a book on evolutionary adaptations of reptiles for my Biology (BSc) degree. It's currently raining outside and the clouds are darkening. Leaves are falling in their bright coloured variations all around the driveway. Most people would regard this as a bad day and stay indoors, but I can't help thinking; 1/125 at f5.6. I want to experience the sound of a rainforest at night.. can you help? Thank you.
