An attempt to explore low light on the beach to create an atmosphere of darkness.
Normally I photograph with an emphasis on early or late afternoon light.
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.
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.
