making time for photography

I’m down at Victor Harbor for several days. Family from Tasmania are staying and it is difficult to find the time to do photography. I did manage to do a 5×4 photograph of this image late yesterday afternoon with the over-engineered Linhof Technika IV and this rock study with the Sony point and shoot digitial earlier in the afternoon when I was walking with the dogs:

It’s a question of being selfish to make time for photography. Otherwise it doesn’t get done. The dogs were walked early in the afternoon so that I had the 4-5 pm time to myself. Then I picked up Suzanne from the bus and we went home and cooked dinner for the family.

fuzzy imagery

Normally my photography is within the crisp focus big depth of field tradition and I usually avoid the out of focus smudgy lens look. This image happened because a wave crashed over the top of me whilst I was photography a rock, drenching me in the process.

I pulled the camera away but it still got wet the camera in the process.The tide was high and the seas were big that day.

Though I dried the camera body and the lens,the latter was still rather smudgy when I was taking some shots of flowing water. That kind of picture is the result. It’s a poetic approach to photography that emphasises subjectivity.

winter

I’m down at Victor Harbor for a couple of days having some photovoltaic solar panels placed on the roof of the weekender. As I had to hang around the house for the tradies I was only able to manage a walk along the cliff tops and beach early this afternoon with the dogs.

It is winter. Even though the rain had stopped, there was a bitterly cold wind blowing in from the south west and the sea was turbulent. Even so, there were lots of people walking their dogs, or strolling along the cliff tops, and even exploring the little beaches.

I wish that I had used the time to try to include people in the landscape, but my mind was on the tradies and solar panels not photography. The solar panel job would not be finished today. It’s a big job. So habit took over.

marine heritage

The poodlewalk was down at Port Adelaide this afternoon. I had a go at the two marine cranes that have been saved; but you can find two far superior interpretations here and here. Local knowledge derived from living in the locality always wins doesn’t it.

I realize that I don’t really know Port Adelaide, even though I ‘m doing a project on it. I’m basically a fly in. I drive down every couple of weeks or so for a few hours on a Sunday afternoon and take some photos. But I’m not really intimate with it’s character.
