“Photography:  Painting and Drawing with Light”

 

 

 

INTRODUCTION

Another cold, wintery early morning start for this photography adventure!  We decided to visit another part of the Lake Eildon region, Victoria – Australia, that being Bonnie Doon. We drove to a part which was quite different from the other locations we have covered this winter being Devils River, Howqua Inlet and Jerusalem Creek.  There were views that extended out across the lake towards snow-covered Mount Buller way in the distance.  We were there for the sunrise where I was able to take some photographs of the sun rising over the distant mountains.  As the morning progressed, mystical clouds covered the region periodically which gave the surrounding region interesting lighting and photographic challenges for me.  Beautiful and peaceful Lake Eildon is and especially during winter when only the locals living in the area are out-and-about.  After taking photographs lakeside, we travelled up along Sunnerg Drive to the Skyline Road Lake Eildon Lookout where I was able to capture panoramic views of Lake Eildon. What a stunning view – then it was off back home, another fantastic day and photography adventure!

 

 

 

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. Recently I had purchased a Right Angle L Plate Bracket for my camera so that I could turn it to do portraits or landscape photographs more easily which worked a treat.  I also purchased a BH-40 Ballhead for my tripod and once more, it made taking my photographs not just easier but much more enjoyable. I also used my Apple iPhone 8 Plus mobile phone for quick spontaneous photographs and gain GPS location readings.  NB:  Below I have included a photograph of our car’s portable GPS which shows the car in on the lake its self.  This just shows how low the waterline is at Lake Eildon this July!

 

 

 

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!
