<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" The table lamp was way to bright so we placed it on the window sill in the ‘Sweety’ bar overlooking Gouger Street. When the tea arrived I just loved how the light shining through the pot separated and refracted according to the shape making it look like two separate layers. I … Read more
<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" Even domestic jobs have their photo opportunities. While working on a blocked drain I thought about the interesting patterns the swirling water created so I set up my camera peering down the drain and continued my work. When the blockage finally cleared I captured this image as the dirty brown water … Read more
<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" There I was minding my own business when I just happened to look up. The owls in their night time monochrome watched down as owls watch, with thoughts such as owls think, with wisdom such as owls have. Thankfully there was no howling. If you get the the chance to visit … Read more
<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" Is it just me or is there really something fun about driving through tunnels. Especially one where you can’t see the exit. In a sense driving through a tunnel is a leap of faith. You direct the high speed projectile you are encapsulated in towards a little hole in the side … Read more
<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" Yesterday a friend lent me a closeup attachment for one of my zoom lenses so undertook a few experiments. I wanted to see how a dedicated closeup lens attachment (Canon 500-D ) compared with a simple +2 diopter correction filter. I found the short answers is ‘it depends’. I only tested … Read more
<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" There’s a world of action going on up there if you could only peer at the surface of the Sun. Being curious I just had to sneak a peak. Oh look, tadpoles! Photo: Robert Rath, ‘Day 594, Star Tadpoles’ 1/1600s f/8.0 ISO160(ND400+) 400mm
<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" No I did not publish an upside down image! It is just as was captured. While heading into town I tried and tried to create an image with a streaking background to give a sense of speed. Unfortunately all I got was jagged bumping blurriness. This image finally came close by … Read more
<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" This sign in my view really grated with me at first. The leading lines kept on drawing me back to the bent, buckled and defaced warning sign which seemed so out of place. I re-framed the the shot a little further down so that I only captured the unobscured clean lines … Read more
<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" The Mansions on Pulteny always remind me of a huge doll’s house. Originally I thought this building was relatively new as far as Adelaide’s architecture goes. Thank you Jim Manning and Martin Christmas for digging up its 100 year old history making it significant as an Adelaide historical building. Ruthven Mansions … Read more
<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" Another building I had on my ‘to do’ list was St Andrews Uniting Church on Jetty Road, Glenelg. Tonight I just happened to be there with my camera and when I stood back I could not help but laugh at the irony before me. Photo: Robert Rath, ‘Day 590, Open 7 … Read more
