“Photography:  Painting and Drawing with Light”

 

 

 

 

INTRODUCTION

Strath Creek, Victoria – Australia is one of my favourite photography adventure locations, especially during the Autumn and Winter times of the year.  During these times, seasonal rains transform the local countryside from summertime dry brown to winter lush green!  It was just by good fortune we came across this particular location.  A dead-end road through local farming land revealed such beautiful panoramic landscape.  On our return home, we noted to come back again here to especially photograph birds.  Once again feeling tired but most fortunate to be able to take in some of the worlds most beautiful and peaceful locations – photographers’ paradise for sure…

 

 

 

 

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!
