“Photography:  Painting and Drawing with Light”

 

 

 

 

INTRODUCTION

On this beautiful mild summer day, hubby and I decided to visit the recently re-opened newly restored Jehosaphat Gully wilderness track at Kinglake National Park, Kinglake, Victoria – Australia. Our long slow walk along this picturesque track gave us the opportunity to view typical Australian bush consisting of local gum tree vegetation and lush green fern-treed gullies.  Victoria’s Black Saturday bushfires in 2009 had destroyed this part of Victoria, so it was so good to see that after 10 years of having the area left to regenerate back to its near original state has been a success. From the blackness of ash, “the vegetation is now lush and diverse, and animals and birds have returned to the landscape” (National Feb 2019).  Another wonderful photography adventure experience!

 

 

 

 

PHOTOGRAPHY EQUIPMENT USED

During this photography exercise – I used a compact system camera, a Sony A7 Mark II – Full Frame with a Sony A FE24-240mm F3.5-6.3 OSS lens and my new (bird) lens, a Sigma150-600mm F5-6.3 DGOS HSM with a Sigma Mount Converter MC-11. I handheld the camera or mounted it on a Wimberley WH-200 Gimbal Tripod Head II with quick release base. I also used my Apple iPhone 8 Plus mobile phone for quick spontaneous photographs and gain GPS location readings.

 

 

 

 

THE PHOTOGRAPHS

On my return home, I downloaded all the photographs into Adobe Lightroom Classic CC.  I developed a small selection of photographs.  During the process of developing then I was able to see what I needed to address during my next photographic adventure.   Please find both above and below, the best of what I took during this photography adventure!

 

 

 

 

 

CONCLUSION

Being out-and-about experiencing the natural wonders of the world and the creatures it inhabits – really does rejuvenate the body and soul.  Photography is just another way to improve one’s sense of wellbeing and at the same time – be creative!
