“Photography: Painting and Drawing with Light”
INTRODUCTION
During this photography adventure, Hubby and I decided to stop and take a look at Lake Rosine Wildlife Reserve – Duverney, Victoria – Australia. It was early morning upon our arrival and while a little chilly, the weather was kind. The sun kept peering out from behind the clouds spasmodically causing the lake and surrounding landscape to vary in colour highlights. Birdlife was abundant and a large gathering of Black Swans could be seen along the lake’s shoreline. It was a beautiful serene location and one we know we must come back to later on in the year. A lovely first stop for the day – we left in high spirits!
PHOTOGRAPHY EQUIPMENT USED
During this photography adventure – 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!
