early morning in high summer

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.

granite study

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.

Still life: bird wing

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.

skeleton

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.

early morning light

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.
