“Photography:  Painting and Drawing with Light”

 

 

 

INTRODUCTION

During this photography adventure hubby and I visited the St. Kilda Pier at Port Phillip Bay, Victoria – Australia, not once but twice in the one day!  We came during the earlier morning where the light was soft and blue and during the late afternoon with members of the Craigieburn Camera Club to photograph the sunset where the light was golden.  We really enjoyed our time at this location.  During the earlier morning there were only a few local people populating the Pier and surrounding area but by mid to late afternoon, the area was crowded with tourists out-and-about enjoying this iconic Melbourne location.

 

 

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:  And part of the photography equipment as featured below is us – and especially my dear hubby who helps lug around the equipment for me!

 

 

THE PHOTOGRAPHS

On my return home, I downloaded all the photographs into Adobe Lightroom Classic.  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 above only, 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!
