The picture below was made whilst I was on a recent late afternoon poodlewalk along the granite rocks at the foot fo the cliffs near Kings Beach. Maleko was with me:
There was some cloud cover that afternoon, due to a strong south westerly wind blowing. The sun kept popping in and out of the clouds. There were a few drizzly showers the following morning when I was walking the poodles along a backcountry road.

This was made on an early morning poodlewalk with Kayla during the summer-time.
During the high summer months the early morning is the best time for photography for The Littoral Zone project along the coast of the southern Fleurieu Peninsula.
That is when the light is soft and gentle. However, it quickly becomes harsh and very contrasty. Then I am forced to photograph in the open shade, if I want to continue to work on the Littoral Zone project.
This granite formation is part of the rocks on the western edge of Dep's Beach. It is a halfway point of a morning walk that I do when the light is soft--usually when there is cloud cover in the early morning:
I am intrigued by the shapes and textures in the early morning light.
Made on an early morning poodlewalk with Kayla:
Kayla found the dead bird lying on Dep's Beach. I bought its wing back to some granite rocks just west of Petrel Cove, which was still in shadow and set up an open air studio.
Made whilst walking an injured Kayla along the beach at Encounter Bay:
It was an overcast morning.
A little study whilst I was playing around with the open air studio amongst the granite rocks:
Made whilst I was on a poodlewalk in the early spring.
From an open air studio:
The seaweed pods were casually arranged on granite rocks whilst I was on an early morning poodle walk
This fish skeleton was washed lying on the beach next to the Encounter Bay boat ramp, during the height of the recreational fishing in the summer holiday season in the early new year.
This happens each year.
The wild storms and rain have passed. I have returned to exploring the literal zone. The sky is clear in the morning, and there is early morning light on the coastal rocks:
The light now is very different from that before the storms that battered South Australia.
