Whilst on the early morning poodlewalk with Maya along the littoral zone of the coastal rocks on the southern Fleurieu Peninsula I started scoping for a possible 5x4 photo session. As Maya is now starting to hang around me whilist I spend time photographing I reckoned it would be possible to use a 5x4 with a dark cloth.
This is what I came up with today --- a close up, or macro view, of an isolated rock with a quartz vein:
I had photographed the rock a few days earlier from a broader perspective.
However, I wasn't all that happy with the composition of the broader view:
The quartz vein is on a 45 degrees angle and it is close to the sandy ground. So it is not easy to photograph.
This perspective of the picture below did look to be a possibility:
But it isn't that dynamic.
So I thought that I could use a telephoto lens with the 5x4. Hence the decision this morning to experiment with a more macro perspective.
