Preserving Timeless Memories Through Photography

Minyama Marina

Today Timothy and I asked Jackie Prentice to tell us more about her photography:

To me, there's something magical about sunrises, with their vibrant colours and ever-changing elements. I especially love the bright fiery skies. Each morning presents a unique canvas, and I find it endlessly fascinating to witness and capture these moments. In the early morning hours, the world is often still and serene. Being able to spend that time alone with my camera and nature allows me to disconnect from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and immerse myself fully in the present moment.

Jackie is also drawn to colour as a means of expressing her creativity:

Photography has been an amazing outlet for my creativity. With sunrises, in particular, I get to experiment with different angles, compositions, and exposure settings to capture the perfect shot. The vivid colours of the sky give me a broad palette to work with, and it's incredible how a slight change in the camera settings can completely transform the mood and tone of the photograph. It's an art form that lets me showcase my own perspective and create something that I hope is beautiful and memorable.

Jackie's image of Minyama Marina is one of her favourites, as she explains:

The stillness of the water in that image acts as a perfect mirror, creating a breathtaking reflection of the fiery sky. It adds a sense of symmetry and balance to the composition, making the scene even more captivating. I like how the stillness of the water in this picture is a perfect mirror, doubling the vibrancy of the already stunning sky.

We asked Jackie why she often takes images of boats, and she explained that her partner is a sailor, and they plan to embark on ocean adventures to explore photography from the water all around the world. Jackie explained that she took up photography two years ago, and it has brought her so much joy to witness, capture, and create lasting memories of these beautiful moments in time. Images like Minyama Marina remind us that countless adventures await us, and photography is a way to keep these dreams alive.
