granite column

This abstraction was made on a recent poodlewalk along the coast of the southern Fleurieu Peninsula, just west of Dep's Beach

I was scoping for a film shoot. This one is accessible at low tide and I am able to use a tripod.

This was made on a poodlewalk yesterday with Heather Petty, and Kayla and Maleko:

Heather, who is a Nikon DSLR photographer, had a new Sony premium compact camera with her, which she was trying out before she started to use it for her underwater photography. It was a Sony Cyber-shot DSC RX100V --with a fixed lens I think. It is compact in the sense that Heather could put the camera in her pocket.

The Sony DSC RX100V's point and shoot characteristic makes it ideal for underwater photography.

Experimenting:

But I'm not sure at this stage.

The sea is the darker side of the coastal environment. It is dangerous. So the images need to be darker.

It was raining and the granite was wet

Another abstraction made just before the early spring storms:

The rock is granite and the location near Petrel Cove is difficult to get to and dangerous because of the surging waves.

granite abstract #2

I scoped this just before the stormy weather from the south west swept in:

I tried to get back to the site for most of the week, but the high tide, and the large wave surges prevented access. It was too dangerous. I finally managed to reshoot it with a medium format camera this morning.

Maybe a 5x4 reshoot in black and white next?

granite abstract--Rosetta Head

This was made on one of the last poodle walks with Ari along Jetty Rd, which runs along the side of Rosetta Head to a jetty at the northern foot of Rosetta Head.
