<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" Today’s annular eclipse probably went completely unnoticed, at least here in Adelaide anyway! For those in the Northern part of Australia and living within the 150Km wide transit path the experience would have been a surreal soft yellow ambiance. For those actually observing the eclipse they would have seen the moon … Read more
<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" More and more I am noticing the role reflections have on composition and bringing a dynamic element to a scene. It is funny how the brain works. Most of the time it sees what it believes is there and the uses the visual input to validate it rather than the other … Read more
<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" Many times arriving after dark into Adelaide Airport I have seen this sight. Looking back at the control tower with the main terminal and awaiting/parked planes off to the right and light aircraft off to the left it looks so small and compact. I have seen it change considerably over the … Read more
<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" Less than a year and a half ago the view from here was very different. The dates on the three headstones in the foreground are separated by one of the hardest 6 weeks our family has had to experience. In that very short space of time my mother lost her last … Read more
<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" A change of vision from the very large to the very small led to this image. I was actually playing around with a macro lens and 2x converter and trying to capture bugs in flight. After many attempts I still had not managed to get a critter right on the focal … Read more
<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" One of the best things about living near the sea are amazing sunsets. One of the worst things about living near the sea is that you get to see yet another sunset! At least I can talk a little about this image and make it worth your while. Last night we … Read more
<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" I once heard an old Polynesian proverb, ‘the Gods do not take from a man’s life the time spent fishing’. The cynic in me suggests it might have been invented by ancient island chiefs to curb laziness and promote survival of island clans through promoting ongoing fishing and the provision of … Read more
<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" Time for something new, at least different from my last set of images. They say that to be a really great photographer you can’t be a generalist. You need to find a niche and then become the best you can in a very specialized area. There is probably some truth in … Read more
<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" The very first keyboard I ever owned was a Korg. To this day the first place my eyes go when surveying a stage are the keyboards and especially the brand labels on the back. So this image is a bit of a fan-boy shot for Korg but hopefully I have captured … Read more
<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" I love watching a great musician practice their craft, in this image that musician is Chino Yuson. It really connects the musician and the music. It was not always this way for me. Why bother going to a live show when I can enjoy the perfectly produced version. For years I … Read more
