“Photography:  Painting and Drawing with Light”

 

 

 

 

INTRODUCTION

Our Victorian Government announced a reduction of some restrictions relating to social distancing and the Coronavirus this week.  This has meant we were able to venture out and undertake a photography adventure. We need to note that as Australians we are so fortunate to live in a country where the impact of this virus has been far less devastating when compared with some other parts of the world.  This statement of mine isn’t to lessen the fact that many Australians have been impacted either via loss of life, experienced serious illness caused by the virus, loss of employment, loss of livelihoods, financial ruin, limited contact with family, friends and work colleagues, and generally feeling traumatised by this unprecedented Covid-19 pandemic. So hubby and I feel most fortunate to be able to do what we do at this time in our lives…

The photograph above I manage to capture at a location where a small bridge crossed over the Delatie River.  Here can be seen the river peacefully winding its way down through a scene where varying types of trees lined its banks. Being autumn, some of the trees were displaying beautiful autumn colours that help to light up the image.  Far in the distance, Mount Buller with its snow-capped mount top can be seen.  A pretty blue sky, dotted with a small trail of white fluffy clouds seemed to complete this magical autumn landscape!

CAMERA SETTINGS

  • Exposure 1/60 sec at f/16
  • Focal Length 55mm
  • ISO 100
  • Camera Make Sony
  • Model ILCE-7M2
  • Lens FE 24-240mm F3.5-6.3OSS

CONCLUSION

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

Teddy’s Outlook, Great Ocean Road, Lorne, Victoria – Australia.  Camera Settings:  Exposure 1/200 sec at f/8.0, Focal Length 57mm, ISO 100, Camera Make Sony – Model ILCE-7M2, Lens FE 24-240mm F3.5-6.3 OSS and developed image in Lightroom Classic.


 


 


INTRODUCTION


We are living in a strange time in history.  The coronavirus has, is and will continue to influence how we go about our daily lives for some time to come!  For hubby and me, its only a matter of staying at home until otherwise advised except for medical needs, food requirements and daily walks around our neighbourhood.  We know we are fortunate but at highrisk being over the age of 65 years of age now – so no photography adventures outside our garden and house until further notice from our Australian government.


Our Craigieburn Camera Club has been helping us photographers stay active by giving us a weekly task to achieve.  This week we had to find a photograph from our archives and see if we could make improvements, or find one we may have overlooked and develop.  As I was scrolling through my Lightroom Classic Catalogue I came across the above photograph which I had overlooked back in 2017.  Noticing that it was sharp and had beautiful lighting I decided to process it.  It’s a photograph taken from Teddy’s Outlook at Lorne on the Great Ocen Road, Victoria – Australia.  The lighting allowed for me to be able to create a beautiful composition of this iconic scenic ocean view.


 


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. Also used 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 use a BH-40 Ballhead for my tripod which helps make taking my photographs not just easier but much more enjoyable. During these photography adventures, I use an Apple iPhone 8 Plus mobile phone for quick spontaneous photographs and to ensure I gain GPS location readings.


 


CONCLUSION


Being out-and-about experiencing the natural wonders of the world and the creatures it inhabits – really does rejuvenate the body and soul. But over the months to come – these adventures will need to be put on hold.  It will be a time to discover home photography – perhaps Macro!  Photography is just another way to improve one’s sense of wellbeing and at the same time – be creative!
