Down The Road

I have been optimising my digital workflow for a few days now and implementing some changes which introduces this border scheme, images are posted over many different forums and social media sites that in my view the owner gets someone lost in the whole process. This is not necessarily a bad thing, as the image can speak for itself. But with this border its easier for people to recognise who took it and track down the original source.

Freemans Knob

Port Elliot, South Australia Just around the corner from my beach house is a lookout where most tourists over the winter period bring their binoculars and scan the seas for the migrating great southern humpback whales that come from the far south to give birth to their young, you can see them playing in the waters close to the shore and occasionally jumping completely out of the water as they play under close proximity of their mums.

Swirly Knights

Port Elliot, South Australia What happens when you suffer from extreme procrastination/boredom and somewhat lack the motivation to venture outside during the cold and wet winter months to take new photographs If you choose not to read on, in short, I have redesigned and rebranded my website and will present my work in fewer mediums which will allow me to participate and involve myself more in places like Flickr. I thought it was fitting to re-edit an older photo and present it with my new website. This was shot in Port Elliot, South Australia.

Jagged Rocks

Victor Harbour, South Australia Not the biggest fan of rogue waves..... I saw it coming and tried to get off the rock as quick as possible which resulted me ass up in the knee high rock pool behind me. Luckily my subconscious knows how expensive the camera was so instead of bracing my fall, i accepted my fate and held up my tripod with camera attached as high in the air as possible. The rocks to the left is what i was standing on and the rock pool in the middle of the frame is what i fell into. Oh joy. At least i was already wet when the rain came in 5 minutes after my quick dip.

Into the Cove

Victor Harbour, South Australia This was the final photo i took on my recent trip down to the coast, and i would have to say it is my personal favourite. It was such a nice day down the coast, warm weather, soft breeze and a couple of small seals playing in the waves. I had to wait quite a bit for a bigger wave to come in and fill this area as the swell was quite small that evening, but once it arrived i think i capturesd it as I wanted. There are still many photos from this trip waiting to be uploaded, these will be slowly released over the weeks.

Erosion

Victor Harbour, South Australia This is the first shot with the new Sigma 17-50 f/2.8. It was hard to initially take off wide angle tokina for the seascape shots but im so glad i did. I wanted to concentrate on using the whole focal range, taking a few wide shots then zooming in to focus on the finer details like this one shot at 50mm So with this result i am very happy with the purcahse as its very sharp throughout the frame and a welcome addition to my bag.

Petrels Textures

Victor Harbour, South Australia As you can see from this picture, I still have not taken any new pictures, instead I find some older ones similar to the ones i have uploaded and over process them. I dont mind how they turn out but its not something i plan on continuing when i take some new photos.

Waiting for the Whales to Pass

Port Elliot, South Australia Sitting at the top of the stairs waiting for the whales to appear. They eventually did but a wide angle lens is proably not the best option to capture this.
