8 Seconds can change your life https://journals.worldnomads.com/annettechisholm/ Fri, 17 Apr 2026 21:05:26 GMT World Nomads Adventures Hi I'm Annette Chisholm, My submission is 8 seconds can change your life. 8 Seconds is the time it will take you to skim over my written component. This 8 seconds could change my life. I chose to shoot a rodeo for the colour, character and speed of the subjects and the stories behind the shots. These men live for their 8 seconds to prove they can tame the beast and put their skills to the test. Each time I frame and compose a photo this is my skills test. I always try to improve my skills and believe it is important to capture these moments for future generations. The photography bug bit me in 2004 on a trip around Australia, there were so many sights I tried to shoot on my old camera which just didn't show the true Australian outback. I bought a DSLR and started learning about the camera and my own capabilities. I then upgraded, where I have learnt that you never stop learning, and I let every time I get behind the lens teach me something new. I'm hungry to learn more and would embrace the opportunity to learn first hand from a master of the craft. Life is made up of a series of moments, I want to win this scholarship so that I can record faithfully the moments that matter. https://journals.worldnomads.com/annettechisholm/photos/37483/Australia/My-Scholarship-entry-8-seconds-can-change-your-life Travel Australia annettechisholm https://journals.worldnomads.com/annettechisholm/photos/37483/Australia/My-Scholarship-entry-8-seconds-can-change-your-life#comments https://journals.worldnomads.com/annettechisholm/photos/37483/Australia/My-Scholarship-entry-8-seconds-can-change-your-life Wed, 9 Jan 2013 16:28:00 GMT 0
