Monday after a concert...the early, early starts are a bit challenging after a long play day but it also means no rehearsal. That means I can stay back in the office and catch up on work...
~OR~
Inspired by the long shutter exposures I experimented with last week at the uni lake (Day 141), I could try the same down at the beach.
So I did.
When I arrived it was dark, very dark. So, I got to work with 4secs, 8secs, 10secs, 15secs and varying the ISOs between 125 and 3200. The philosophy was 'the dials are there, the numbers are there, give it a go'.
So I did.
This is what happened...
 |
| Wave in motion |
 |
| Ship on the horizon |
 |
| Movement on the shore |
 |
| Footprints to the fore, Mooloolabah to the rear |
It starts to move the idea of the photograph as record into a different space, which we have discussed before. I haven't altered these pics in any post-production sense (except for a crop on the first one); the waves don't 'look' like waves, the sand, lights, rocks similarly are not what they seemed tonight when I pulled up at the beach.
I'll leave you, dear reader, to make up your own mind. I may have to return for further investigation.
[Camera : Canon EOS 60D, 28-80mm, 6.23pm-6.39pm*, *except now I can confirm that the camera clock is out by about 11 minutes...but then, the photos aren't accurate either...are they. Or, are they?]
