granite and quartz

This granite and quartz study was  made whilst I was on an afternoon walk in Waitpinga with Maleko. We walked  along Kings Beach, over, Kings Head, past the wilderness lodge, and down  to the rocky outcrop close to the  foot of  the Newland Head cliffs. 

We walked around the rocky outcrop so that I could try out my  new digital camera--the Sony A7r111   in low light situations



water

This picture of  water at a rocky outcrop west of  Kings Head in Waitpinga was made just after I acquired a new, full frame  digital camera--a Sony Alpha A7r111. I was trying to see if the camera was an improvement on my earlier digital camera--a Sony NEX-7. Was it worth the money that I paid to go full frame?

A test image if you like to assess the dynamic range from white  to black:  

I was fascinated by the water rushing through the crevice in the rocks. It was low tide and that allowed me to I climb down into the crevice to photograph the rocks and water. This is not something that I would normally do on this outcrop, as it is quite dangerous.   

After the heatwave

The  morning after the heatwave in South Australia ended. 

The cool change had came through during the night --it was a welcome sou'-westerly.    

These pictures were  made whilst I was on an early morning poodlewalk with Kayla.They were made just after sunrise.
