Hi,

My name is Jett Leong and I am in Year 5 here at Newington.

Welcome to my first Photography Exhibition:                 

A View From Above

I started taking photos last year while watching my brother play cricket.  I borrowed my Aunty’s camera and went off around the ground looking for things to take photos of.

I stumbled upon this Kookaburra who seemed to trust me and as I got closer and closer he stayed very still and allowed me to take photos of him.  The large photo you see in the Exhibition is that same Kookaburra. 

The photos turned out well and I have not stopped.

I started taking photos of random birds and bush life.   Some of them turned out really well.

I was lucky enough to receive a camera for my birthday and that is when the fun began.

I go on walks in the bush and special photography walks through the city with my Aunty and this is where the inspiration for my Exhibition came from.

I have a love of birds and their surrounding and through my photos I hope to bring to light things that people miss or do not notice during their day-to-day life.

Please enjoy my photos, I hope they inspire you to look up and see something new in the sky and your surroundings.

Thank you.
