<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" I used to take great delight in scaring myself witless. I used to go from ride to ride to ride leaving no experience left wanting. I’d probably still do it with the right motivation but for now I am just as happy to look up and capture the look of terror … Read more

<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" Last night we hit the Adelaide Fringe and the Garden of Unearthly Delights for Camille O’Sullivan’s show ‘Changeling’. Great voice, amazing presence and a wonderful show. Photo: Robert Rath, ‘Camille O’Sullivan’ 1/80s f/2.8 ISO1600 200mm P.S. Sorry if you were expecting another fish! 😉
<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" It was one of those occasions where it was tempting to spend a night indoors rather than donning an already cold and wet wetsuit and heading back into the water. The wind had come up to a good 15knots and visibility was rapidly disappearing but I decided that a macro dive … Read more
<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" Here I was going about my business exploring some of the sea-grass beds out from Edithburgh Jetty when down it swooped. Like a magpie dive-bombing an unsuspecting cyclist my first reaction was to duck. Imagine how funny that would have appeared. And like a magpie it indeed was also a bird, … Read more
<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" Alexius on the photographic hunt but not all would be subjects are pleased about the diving paparazzi. The game of hide and seek is always part of the game and this Magpie Perch has it down pat. Photo: Robert Rath, ‘Hide and Seek’ 1/200s f/7.1 ISO320 15mm
<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" An amazing diving day at a location I’ve not dived for some time. The Bluff, a prominent land feature at the western end of Encounter Bay is not the most pleasant place to dive. It demands a little bit of work with ocean swell coming on a rocky entry. Once in … Read more
<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" A family of four, two best friends, swimmers silhouetted and one lone aeroplane. Another amazing Henley Beach sunset and some are still completely unaware of the extraordinary sky show unfolding. Oh well, at least they are all doing something just as wonderful at the end of one very hot summer day … Read more
<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" Scenes like this are one of Rapid Bay’s major attractions and much easier to experience than finding Leafy Seadragons or nudibranchs. Here in the ‘T-Section’ of the old jetty you can drift between the sponge encrusted tree-like pylons and look up at schools of Old Wives, Yellowtail, Bullseyes and Leatherjackets. On … Read more
<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" This school of Yellowtail at Rapid Bay are not the easiest to photograph with their super silvery reflective scales. Fire a couple of strobes and be prepared for big bright overexposed blotches. When you do get it right (and these guys are still overexposed) they look like swimming skeletons.
