colour

Photographing in low light again in order to represent the colour of the rocks that is present in certain conditions.  


These conditions are normally seen during dusk -what photographers often call  the magic hour.  

rock abstract #7

Another picture from the 5x7 Cambo monorail shoot near Kings Beach, Victor Harbor.  

It is a large format version of the 6x6 one in this earlier post. I was thinking more in terms of abstractions and modernism  than just rock studies and snap shots.  I was starting to reconnect with the art history past. A retro Australian modernism as it  were, which referred back  to the rock studies made by John Cato in the 1970s. 

Cato's abstractions developed the vocabulary of his own inner landscape and can be seen as expressions of his subconscious. I have no interest in this kind of transcendent photography that links back to Kandinsky. 

sea abstract #1

An attempt at abstractions from the sea in an attempt to shift to a  more expressive  kind of photography.

This was made from the breakwater created to protect for the new all weather boat ramp  near Whalers Resort at Encounter Bay, Victor Harbor.  The boat lobby--recreational fishermen--- is quite powerful.
