Air Time

<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" ‘Air Time’ might seem an odd name for this image but it seemed appropriate as I come up for ,air so to speak, from my underwater images. We are fortunate here in having the diversity of weather which helps in creating dramatic images. Sunsets are obvious of course but when ever … Read more

Eye Spy

<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" I spy with my little eye something that starts with ‘e’. It’s really not that hard to guess it’s looking right back at me.

Veronica

<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" Another first for me. Finally after years of diving I have finally found Veronica. I called her Veronica as it is an anagram of Verconia verconis, her real name. She has no common name as is the case with most of our beautifully weird and wonderful sea critters. Unless they are … Read more

Octohideout

<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" Tucked away safe and sound in a previously owned razorfish shell is a cute little girl octopus.

Curiousity

<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" This little guy has me beat. At first I thought it was a spotted grubfish but after seeing the beautiful coloured markings I am not sure anymore.

Octopus Love Triangle

Filmed under Port Hughes Jetty, South Australia this amazing display of octopus mating behavior with one male defending his access to a female against another male’s advances was an unexpected surprise. I shared this extraordinary encounter with diving friends Alex Sutandio, Mike Rowlands and Robert Paton. Sound thanks to ‘Bensound’ www.bensound.com

All Eyes on Me

<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" The trouble with photographing people is drawing attention to myself. All eyes on me this time! Photo: Robert Rath, ‘All Eyes on Me’ 1/60s f/2.8 ISO640 168mm

Lunar Layers

<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" The moon is waxing again and soon will be full. The pattern repeats over and over but the sky is always different. Photo: Robert Rath, ‘Lunar Layers’ 1/25s f/4 ISO1600 200mm

Painted by the Light

<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" I love what I do in the corporate world, expressing my creativity with solutions to problems painted in ones and zeros and control structures and and arcane languages. I love what I do in my visual world painting with light and tones which I have gathered as images from my local … Read more

Caged Treasure

<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" Trapped behind a protective screen or a caged treasure? Constrained indoors does not mean no photo opportunities. There’s always something interesting to create with objects, light and imagination. Photo: Robert Rath, ‘Caged Treasure’ 0.4s f/22 ISO100 100mm
