For Christmas I received as a gift a pop-top can full of compost and chili seeds. I first photographed one of the flowers of my bhut jolokia plant back on ‘Day 93‘ when it was doing very well. A few weeks later on ‘Day118‘ I discovered a weevil had been dining on the leaves and … Read more
This is one Japanese with attitude! I started taking photos of this bike I happened to notice in the university grounds and within 60 seconds the owner was out and apologising for the dirty state of his bike. We talked about his bike at some length and it was great to hear how this toy … Read more
I have previously photographed the front of this building, Bonython Hall, back on ‘Day 144‘. This time I have captured the imposing rear wall against a dramatic cloudy sky. By all accounts Bonython Hall is an impressive building and make for great photo opportunities. There are many more fantastic buildings here and I am looking … Read more
The outside grounds of the Adelaide Art Gallery are clean and picturesque and at first glance devoid of the stunning works to found inside. Then I started to notice things. The outdoor art was there, subtlety woven into the construction and surrounds. This little fish caught in the netting of a gate reminded me of … Read more
I never get over how strange it is to see ducks fly! Growing up I only ever experienced ducks in ponds or waddling around a yard. For some reason this idea has stayed with me long since I learned the truth that they really do fly. This image taken along the Torrens River after sunset … Read more
There’s a storm brewing out there! Our normally idyllic gulf is bringing in 2m seas and this is just the pre-frontal North Westerlies. It’s going to be a wild, wild night here when the front really hits so batten down the hatches, garage doors, and windows and enjoy mother nature reminding us who really is … Read more
Every suburb has at least a few backyards with a neglected ‘one day we’ll fix her up’ vehicle in desperate need of some T.L.C. I don’t know much about the history of this sad old Bedford van but I do know it has not moved for years. I’m surprised it has not disappeared completely into … Read more
I really can’t get enough of the ocean, the salty air and the open vista. That being said perhaps I need to stay away from it if I want to keep my images fresh and original. Oops, too late. Photo: Robert Rath, ‘366 Days of 2012, Day 246 – Henley Beach Jetty’. 1/(1600/400/100)s f/10 ISO-320 … Read more
This is an image I have imagined in my mind for a long time but never had the right conditions to create it until this evening. A breathless calm evening, a nearly full moon and an hour of my time finally all came together tonight. This image is from the southern end of Westlakes Lake … Read more
This is the last blue moon we will experience for the next 3 years. I first tried to capture this amazing image in a single frame but the dynamic range was too wide and the white flare from the bright moon out into the clouds for the long exposure simply blew out the entire image … Read more
