<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" I am driving through Myponga every other day now and passing through so much gorgeous scenery. Most of the time my camera is still entombed in its underwater housing but this time I did my best to dry off the housing and retrieve it on route. There are so many wonderful … Read more

<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" Unlike a bulldozer the nudibranch (sea slug) Ceratosoma brevicaudatum eats its way through its path rather than pushes it. This little guy would have to be one of the most common nudibranchs seen be divers along our southern coastline. A regular on both Edithburgh and Rapid Bay jetties, Ceratosoma brevicaudatum is … Read more
<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" Out the front is a for sale sign. The fences are torn down in places. Dirt and rubble have been piled high where a driveway once had been. Standing inside the remains of this farm building and watching the sunset had me wondering just how long ago the sun had set … Read more
<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" Over the last few weeks I have been following the progress of a brooding Tasseled Anglerfish (Rhycherus filamentosus) with a clutch of eggs.

Having a camera at ground level does however have its risks. I had to pluck the camera to safety a moment after I captured this image as that wave washed over the foreground … Read more
<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" It’s easy to imagine that above those stilts of legs there is some alien spacecraft just touched down in a primal sea. Any moment now an under-hull hatch will open and other-worldly visitors will descend to explore their new discovery. Thanks Jennifer for your imagination. Up until then it was just … Read more
<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" There is definitely a dark side creeping in to my work. There was an awesome sunset tonight. A wonderful mix of sun and cloud and sun and cloud as the sun sank through shutters of dark and gold. When the sun was well gone the clouds lit up with oranges and … Read more
<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" Candid photography is both more interesting and easier from unusual places. Here looking down I saw this man framed within a gridded network of tiles. My perspective made the grid the defining subject. The man, well an interesting foreground subject. 🙂 Photo: Robert Rath, ‘Day 663, The Grid’, 1/160s f/4.0 ISO640 … Read more
<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" Today was one of the windier ones with powerful northerlies ahead of a westerly front. Late today I thought I’d try some long exposure shots of windy Henley Beach. The strategy was simple. 1. Guess the aiming of the camera and all the required camera settings with the lens cap on. … Read more
