esperance

Right so as i mentioned below i went to Esperance for the weekend. I went for a bit of reflection on life time and also to do the race photography as a practise run. But also managed to fit in some happy snapping while i was down there. So this was my bedroom, i slept in the car. This was south of Yallingup.


I havent really done much in the way of scenery shots as i tend to prefer the little things, so i had a play the following morning with some beach scenes. This was with my tele zoom as the surfers were quite a way off.


Then as the sun went down i had a bit more fo a play with lighting and reflections and tried to capture tranquil. I like the colours in this, and was glad they came out in the photo as they were in the real.


Then i tried to have a bit of a play with angles and creating interest


I bought a fisheye lens the other week, which is used for getting wider field of view with some distortion. From what i understand it works best with a centre focussed feature and then a beautiful elongated backdrom like a shoreline in the background. I havent quite worked out how to get the most out of it yet, but while down there i wanted to just see how it looked. Im really looking forward to playing with this lens more when i go to Exmouth next week, look out sis, im going to drive you nuts while you are happily reading youre book on the beach!!

So then my attention then gets drawn to the little things in life, and im rolling in the sand observing assorted things from their level. Heres a cute shell, i liked its calming colours.

This shot is weird, i almost deleted it cos the focus was up the shit. But then i looked again and i quite like the moonscape style of it, so it came back. I also quite like the bird prints.

Prints in sand amuse me, but more than that i wonder about the animal or person. When i saw these prints i wondered if the person was a runner. Its a really good footprint in my opinion. Nice high arch but to hoo high, nice toe off. I wonder if she runs. I think its a girl. Actually i remember reading once that you can tell by the width of prints whether the person is male or female (due to hip width), but i am just basing it on no evidence.

Lillies are a noxious weed down south, apparently they clog the waterways and suffocate native species. As much as that is true, i think they are beautiful.

And from the underside, the lilly has a really cool geometry thing going on.
