Thoughtfactory: abstractions

developing the tradition of photographic abstraction

orange abstraction

This  abstraction was made on a morning poodlewalk with Kayla along the coastal rocks between  Petrel Cove and  Kings Beach in Waitpinga: 

 It was  made handheld with a digital camera (a Sony a7R 111) in the low light of the early morning. Convenience is a key as this this  is one of those locations  where it would be very difficult  to use a film camera on a tripod.

Another recent attempt at a sea abstract: 

I am finding making these kind of sea abstractions  a bit hit and miss as the sea is constantly changing  its shape. The waves move very quickly as well. 

granite abstract #4

A scoping study made on a poodlewalk with Maleko:

The next step is film camera--Linhof Technika 70--- a tripod and Kodak Portra film. 

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.

It was raining at the time  and I have been meaning to returning to reshoot it with my film cameras. But there has been no rain since.

A late afternoon storm 

We got back to the car just before the rain came in.

 One stormy morning along the coast:

The seas were very rough. 

bark

The bark of an eucalyptus  in the late afternoon light. 

This tree is on Solway Crescent and I pass it each time I wander down to the beach at  Encounter Bay on a poodle walk. 

quartz + granite

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.  

Granite abstraction

I continue to plug away on the coastal abstractions whilst I am on my morning and evening poodle walks.   

Plug away because I am not sure what I am going to do with this body of work.
