<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" There’s beauty in the most mundane of things. Consider the not so humble ‘Corporate Sign’. How much design energy goes into creation of a logo, its rendering on the building facade and the consideration of practical issues such as guttering and run-off. So from my point of view, when the light’s … Read more
<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" It’s not hard to imagine these sails powering an alien ship across a strange ocean. Perhaps they are? At least it’s a far more interesting perspective than simply providing shelter from the sun and rain. From any perspective, shade sails have a beautiful form that begs to be captured, especially this … Read more
<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" Perhaps not exactly a ‘Tall Ship’ in the traditional use of the term but a delight to the eyes none the less. I don’t get to crew very often on anything bigger than a sailboard and even that’s been quite some time ago. Seeing this beautiful boat tied up at the … Read more
<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" Sooner or lighter I will make the effort to try some light painting (spelling mistake intended). I am fascinated by the abstract images created by long time exposure hand held captures around interesting lights. Unlike light painting though I have very little control and rely on imagining, capturing and then seeing … Read more
<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" What a night! Combine a significant birthday bash with the beginnings of a sensational up and coming band, great food, drink and all round interesting people and of course we were in for a fun night! For a backyard stage the lighting was a little challenging but it was good low … Read more
<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" I still struggle with need for a photo to be sharp, tack sharp for it to be any good. I realise this is a hang-up that I need to get over. This image did not start out as a blurry assignment. I did get the image tack sharp but something about … Read more
<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" I’m late, I need a photo and I need to get creative now! I once heard a photographer/instructor claimed that if a student ever came to him claiming to be uninspired and not knowing what to photograph he would lock them in a bathroom and not let them out until that … Read more
<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" There a strong similarity between wildlife photography, none of it make it easy. Both genres involve fast moving subject, often with erratic and unpredictable movement. Both involve making images from a safe or manageable distance. Low light is often a problem and this only serves to compound the difficulty. That being … Read more
<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" The first signs of Summer are hinting at a long hot summer. Yesterday I got out away from my desk, took in copious amounts of sun sourced vitamin D, watched and photographed the year 8 girls division one final at the ‘Beach Energy, Schools Beach Volleyball Cup’ at Glenelg. Oh, and … Read more
<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" More macro fun with phone and water. Here a single drop of water a few millimeters across was placed on my phone, allowed to evaporate a little and then photographed directly from above with as much depth of field field as possible. During the exposure I chose a bright white image … Read more
