<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" Get close, get even closer. Still not close enough. Get closer still but don’t touch or else that bull in a china shop just might be my camera. Now, butterfly tea anyone? Photo: Robert Rath, ‘Day 986, Butterfly Tea’, 2s f/14 ISO640 15mm
<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" Some images you could never capture even if you planned for them. Keeping a camera at the ready for the ‘unplanned’ has produced some wonderful gems. While heading home tonight I decided to swing past the beach, just for a look but never planning to stop and before I new it … Read more
<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" I really can’t help but anthropomorphize people traits into animals I interact with. When this little sparrow looked at me like this the word quizzical popped into my head as I wonder if the sparrow is doing this same with me.

<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" Spellbound as she followed unseen critters in the gentle back and forth wash.

<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" I actually created this image early in my 1000 images project but for some reason it never made it into the collection even though I have shown it before. On reflection it would be a pitty to not include one of Adelaide’s most popular and accessible dive sites so it’s now … Read more
<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" While out looking at the Geminids I thought I would have a little play with long exposures to the South. During the middle of this exposure heavy cloud started rolling in from the South and the combination of stars and the reflected light from the towns of Mannum and Murray Bridge … Read more
<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" I once heard another photographer claim that ‘pets’ were the low hanging fruit of photography. In some sense it’s no wonder as unlike people, animals are not capable of being anything other than their genuine self. If the animal happens to be a dearly love pet expressing their personality then of … Read more
<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" A gentle wave breaks the sun’s reflection bringing the base of the stroke to an abrupt end. Just like the ninth letter of the alphabet, I see ‘i’. Photo: Robert Rath, ‘Day 977, i’, 1/6400s f/22 ISO100 200mm
