This abstraction  was a difficult image to make.  I had to wait until the late afternoon  for the light, and he quartz  was tucked behind some  granite rocks on the foreshore just east of Deps Beach and  it was not possible to put my body in the space between the granite and the quartz to obtain a low view:

So I had to lean into the space, try and balance my feet on some sharp edges and hold the Sony NEX-7 camera low. Thankfully the camera has a  fold out back  and so I could focus the image using it.

This macro abstraction of quartz was made on an afternoon  poodlewalk with Maleko along the rocks west of Dep's Beach:

This was made a week or so before the January heatwave in South Australia when it was possible to walk amongst he coastal rocks  in the late afternoon sun.

There is some background and context here. 

Made whilst on a late afternoon  poodlewalk with Maleko. I was intrigued by the colours in the light of the  open shadow. 

The location was close to this one.

The abstraction  below was made early one morning whilst I walking amongst the coastal rocks with Kayla.    The bitterly cold winds had dropped, the seas  had become  much calmer, and the broken cloud cover  promised some early morning sunshine. It was a good morning for walking along the coast.  

These moments inbetween the storm conditions of winter allowed Kayla and myself  to  leisurely wander amongst the rocks on an early morning poodlewalk.

This picture was made  in the early autumn. 

Made on a recent poodle walk near  Kings Head, Waitpinga, on the Fleurieu Peninsula.

The problem with this is  that I cannot recall where this quartz is exactly. So I cannot re-photograph it with a film camera.
