14、nd shareshareBlogging AustraliaMy name is Lauren Elizabeth Pirie Bath.Until a few years ago I was a chef,and a happy one at that,but I wanted more out of life.I wanted to TRAVEL.At that time I discovered blogging and found that I took pretty good pictures.So I decided to post pictures on my blog.In
15、less than 18 months,there were over 200,000 people reading my blog!At first,I only regarded it as a hobby,but companies started paying me to take photos and publsh them.In 2013,I was determined to make my dream come true:I would become Australias first professional photo bloger It was a challenging
16、job,but I did it.Now I spend three weeks out of every month travelling and have over 464,000 fans following me online.Ive got to know more about this country and its people.我叫劳伦.伊丽莎白.皮里.巴思。几年前我还是一名厨师，我也很喜欢那份工作。但我希望能够获得更多的生活体验:我想去旅行。就在那时我接触到了博客，而且我发现自己拍照很不错。于是我决定把照片发布到我的博客上。在不到18个月的时间里就有20多万人看了我的博客!-
17、开始，我只是把这件事当作爱好，但逐渐开始有公司愿意付费请我拍照并出版我拍的照片。2013年，我决定实现自己的梦想:成为澳大利亚第-位职业摄影博主。这是个不小的挑战，但我做到了。如今我每个月用三周时间旅行，在线关注我的粉丝超过46.4万人，而我对这个国家的风土人惜巾右了雨名了.I first visited Western Australia for work in 2013.I fell in love with northern WA and have been back six times.Some of my favourite photographs were taken there.
18、I have made over 140 work trips,but my best work trip ever was to Broome in the Kimberley region.2013年，我因为工作的缘故第一次 来到西澳大利亚州。我对西澳北部一见钟情，之后又去了那里六次。我最喜欢的一些照片就是在那里拍的。我的工作之旅超过140次，但那些最棒的经历都是来自(西澳)金伯利地区的布鲁姆镇。It is extremely beautiful and you can experience the indigenous Australia there more than anywhere
19、 else.The Kimberley region,in particular,is unique and untouched.As a hotographer,I love the bright light and amazing colours:red rocks,green plants,blue-green waters and blue skies.西澳最吸引你的是什么?那里风景极其优美，在那里你可以体验到最本色的澳大利亚风情，特别是金伯利地区有着独一无二的原生态景观。作为一名摄影师，我钟爱那里明亮的光线和绚丽的色彩:红岩绿树，碧水蓝天。To work full time in t
20、ravel,you have to love nature.1 try to take every opportunity to get outside and admire the natural world.I love to photograph the rising sun,so I force myself into the natural world by waking early each day.I also enjoy photographing animals,such as dolphins and kangaroos.你对自然的热爱如何体现在摄影中?要把旅行作为全职工作
21、，你必须热爱自然。我尽量把握每-一个机会到户外感受大自然。我喜欢拍摄日出，所以我每天早起，让自己融入自然。我也喜欢拍摄动物，比如海豚和袋鼠。1 bope so.I use my photography to make an impact on people,especially when it comes to environmental ssues.s Today Ive been photographing a crocodile swimming close to our boat,the Kimberley Quest,all day.When I post the picture o
22、nline,I will make a comment about how bad it is to feed wild crocodiles.This crocodile is used to passengers throwing food from boats and now she is becoming familiar with humans.Over time,this could make her a danger to people living in the area.If I can do something to make others aware of the problem,then thats part of the solution.你的摄影对环保有帮助吗?我希望能够有所帮助。我通过照片影响他人，尤其是涉及环境问题的时候。今天我一直在拍摄-条鳄鱼，它一整 天都在我们乘坐的“金伯利探索号”附近徘徊。我在网上发布照片时会附上评论，告诉人们投喂野生鳄鱼是非常糟糕的行为。这条鳄鱼已经习惯了船上游人们的投食，并且正在不断熟悉人类。时间长了，它就会成为附近居民的威胁。如果我能做点事情使别人意识到这个问题，那就能在一定程度上促进问题的解决。Homework
