<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" Everything around us in our ‘built’ world from the the smallest trinkets to the largest buildings and everything in between is the product of human thought. To try and image the human thought involved in creating the space you are in right now is just mind boggling. Pick out a single … Read more
<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" So many people claim a dislike for Monday’s. This particular Monday we got hammered with strong storm winds, rain and bitter cold for this time of year. The perfect day for a nice cosy office desk or for the perfect act of corporate rebellion!

<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" This structure as part of the Adelaide Convention Centre seems completely fatuous to me! This vertical 1m gap extends from ground level to the very top of the building. What a great view for occupants looking out onto the adjacent blank wall, not!

<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" Having a studio with fixed lighting is the mainstay of the professional photographer and no wonder, the level of control over light is amazing! That being said, the definition of ‘a studio’ is up for grabs when the dining room table gets lit with strategically placed torches, a translucent umbrella and … Read more
<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" Photographing chickens is not easy as I thought it would be, well at least not after sunset with low light. I was not comfortable with getting down on the ground either with lots of little chicken land-mines everywhere but unless I got low they just blended into the ground-scape. It looks … Read more
<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" This image was an attempt to combine the feel of a lonely windswept beach with the glitz of the Holdfast Shores nightlife. It is a single 10 minute long exposure followed with 10 minutes of noise cancellation. I used a small aperture in order to get a useful depth of field … Read more
These gritty arches alongside the Torrens River support the King William Street Bridge, an old Adelaide icon. I seems I am becoming addicted to extremes! I love wide angle and I love telephoto/macro. Perhaps I need to just put on a 50mm prime and spend some time reacquainting myself with normal everyday perspectives again? Actually … Read more
<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" Mum’s garden is simply alive and buzzing with Spring activity. There is an army of little workers hard at work in the garden, gather nectar and distributing pollen. In fact you can hear the hive from from virtually anywhere on the property thanks to the fact they have taken up residency … Read more
<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" Perhaps this image seems a little ordinary but I was drawn to the almost desolate feel this parade ground had. I tried to get a good exposure but the brilliant white rendered walls and lighting overwhelmed the shadowed surrounds. The solution was to use the HDR technique of simple fusion where … Read more
<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" I first noticed this view of the Adelaide CBD a few months back but being able to set up a tripod in the middle of the road was problematic. The Bakewell Underpass on Henley Beach Road was the subject of a previous image in this series. This however was a scene … Read more
