<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" Grey weather’s on its way so this is most likely that last nice sunset for a few days. Time to head in to the city and perhaps explore a different genre for a while. Photo: Robert Rath, ‘Day 558, Pelican Sunset’ 1/100s f/14 ISO100 15mm
<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" Henley Beach again but this time a little fun with colour. Or should I say the lack of it. Actually it’s not quite colour free. The warm tones of the original colour image were lost so I have added them back in, just a little! Photo: Robert Rath, ‘Day 557, My … Read more
<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" It might be winter and it might be cold but the beach will always be a compelling place to be. Winter in Adelaide is fantastic for photography with plenty opportunities for combinations of clear blue sky mixed with dramatic clouds. Throw in a beach, a jetty and a sunset and it … Read more
<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" Have you ever wondered how fast rain is moving when it hits the ground?

I guess that makes it ‘light’ … Read more
<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" In this image I wanted a dark low key background but with plenty of diffuse natural looking light.

<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" This image was taken while we were out trying to find the well known landmark, ‘Bear Rock’. Unfortunately I was about 100km off from where I thought I’d find it! 200km later we finally found it just above the town of Palmer but is was well after sunset and the light … Read more
<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" I marvel at our rings and the craftsmanship with which they were created. In this image I wanted to really show how Ben has crafted the white gold bands around my father’s ring and around my wife’s grandmother’s ring. Getting the lighting and the colour right to really show off the … Read more
<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" Of all the things I like best about shopping (not that there are many) I love patterns and repetition. In supermarkets it’s beautifully faced shelves of jars and bottles. In book stores it’s stacks of perfectly aligned hardcovers beneath the display copies. In department stores it’s the piles of perfectly folded … Read more
<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" The lookout from Mengler’s Hill is a place that has been special to me since childhood. I remember riding our bicycles up the steep road (no gears back then) and celebrating the ability to get all the way up without stopping to walk some of the way. More often than not … Read more
<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" A simple tribute to a local legend of the wine industry in the Barossa. Peter Lehmann passed away Friday June 28 2013 at the age of 82. We will remember you Peter every time we drink a ‘PL’ wine. Photo: Robert Rath, ‘Day 549, Tribute To Peter’ 1/400 f/2.8 ISO100 135mm
