<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" Have you ever wondered how a rack of wine glasses could send me off wondering order and chaos in the universe. These beautifully racked glasses were once nothing more than a collection of molecules distributed though our environment. Go back further and the materials I now see as a rack of … Read more
<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" I have been waiting to capture this image of Adelaide for some time now. I had already planned my vantage point, I simply had to wait for those few days where the sun would set at the perfect angle to reflect directly off the Westpac Building to where I would be … Read more
<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" I loved the cluttered feel of this image. Even though it is so alien to my technical world I still feel like I could enjoy being in this space if it were not a shop window. Like creating an image from a sculpture or a painting, shop window displays are their … Read more
<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" Architects do all sorts of interesting things to hide mundane but necessary pieces of plant associated with services like power, water and cooling. I discovered this example on the corner of Pultney Street and North Terrace in the the Adelaide CBD. I am not sure what this technicolor grill is hiding … Read more
<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" I love avocados but they are not the sort of thing I’d imagine growing here in Adelaide.

This image is the view from the northwest corner of North Terrace and Frome Road looking … Read more
<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" While driving down Rundle Street in Kent Town my attention was caught by a window display of brightly coloured parasols. I find something exotic about parasols, about umbrellas for display and shade. They are so far removed from our world where umbrellas and cold rainy weather seem to go hand in … Read more

<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" Here is really important tip to remember when photographing the moon. ‘It’s not night time there where you are looking!’. The moon is in full sunlight and so the camera needs to told one way or another that a daylight exposure is required. It might not be a problem if you … Read more
<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" The normally warm and cosy Grange Kiosk takes on a whole new feel in the moonlight. Actually it’s not really moonlight but how it would look if the moon was 10 times brighter and setting on the horizon. To create this effect I have filtered out all of the warn reds … Read more
