Project Shoot from the Hip

I came up with the idea of 'Project Shoot from the Hip' a few days ago while walking with my girlfriend into see a travel agent to book our next trip to Bali.

As a photographer, I'm ALWAYS looking around to find new things to shoot, but in the area I live, I've pretty much shot everything in the style I'm familiar with. So I simply decided to change my style.

I've been looking into shooting abstract pieces that people could hang on their walls and appreciate its simplicity and textures, but didn't know where to start.

Long story short, I snapped on my 50mm Prime lens and just went for a walk. As i was walking along, i was simply taking shots without looking - Clint Eastwood style, shooting from the hip, with surprising results.

The shot posted here, I simply put the camera into a stack of wine barrels *click* and walked off. A bit of post processing in lightroom and done! SIMPLE SIMPLE SIMPLE!!!!
