This picture of lichen and rock study in low light was made just before sunset in early June-- the day after the storm on June 1.
The wild weather had eased:--the wind had dropped, the clouds were lighter and the showers were infrequent. So it was pleasant walking amongst the coastal rocks with Maleko.
Below is a picture of foam and granite along the coastal rocks just west of Petrel Cove on the southern Fleurieu Peninsula.
It was made on a day after the big storm in early May. Though the storm had passed the seas were still surging and they were too rough for the surfers. The 2 metre high waves dumped, rather than rolled into the shore.
The picture above refers back to this earlier picture of foam as well as to this one. This is what the littoral zone looks like during, or just after, a big storm from the south west. The foam quickly vanishes.
I have started to go through my archive of the macro images that I made whilst I've been on the poodlewalks.
I need to start doing something with these images with their connection between walking and photography. This has emerged or come to the fore during the Covid-19 pandemic, and it has got me motivated to start looking at this body of work.
It was in the late summer and it is a constructed still life. After I had come across the crab lying amongst the coastal rocks I looked for a suitable background to photograph it. I looked for a site that would be protected from the tide and wind so that I could return and re-photograph it if necessary.
This macro photo was made yesterday morning whilst I was walking along Dep's Beach in Waitpinga with Kayala towards Kings Beach.
The recent mornings have been soft, with little wind and a soft haze. Surprisingly so, for late summer. It has been a gentle summer so far. There have been no 14 fortnight long heatwaves.
