Iridescent Blue
Some of you have asked about this photograph and what I can tell you... this one is a photograph II took in Bali, and have done some advanced colour remapping. So the photograph is a of some of the sparkly beach sand in Bali, that has a high amount of quartz and mica, which looks sparkly. On the west coast of Bali the beach sand is a yellow/orange colour with sparkly volcanic/mica sand (its not like the white powder sand beaches in Perth).
So here I have attempted to take the sparkly/iridescent material and remapped the colours to the green, and the yellow and golden colours to blue, To me this combination forces you to look more at the abstracted forms and totally removes the subject matters cues ie it doesn't look like beach sand, and get me to look and think about the colours and forms and where these could be in nature.
For me, the colour combination is very exotic and the form totally beguiling. It demonstrates for me where we see nature's patterns in different scale proportion i.e. this photograph looks like an underwater deep ocean floor scan, and not the tidal zone sand it is.
Anyways there you go, a little peek behind the curtain to get a sense of what and why. :D
Billy Goat Browne!
Ahhhh, for those of you how haven't met my best buddy Nicholas, here he is... he has a tendancy to head for the highest point around and climb it, just like a mountain billy goat. A couple of times I thought about joining him on the 'climbs' however I thought that a person with a balance disorder that had flared up probably wasn't a good idea!
Dunes at sunset....
Today's post is yes, another from the Broome trip. This time of a sand dune. I love and was enchanted by the repeating patterns created from random chaotic wind. Enjoy
White and brown paper...
OK - so this isn't paper, and yes it is another from the Broome series. This time on a photowalk with Nicholas, and came across this on a rock far away from the water. I am not sure how and what made these markings, however the tone, and texture reminded me of scrunched paper.
Trails in the sand....
This is another Broome abstract, except, its not an abstract. This one was taken whilst I was visiting Nicholas and Juddy up in Broome. The landscape and environs are full of diversity and amazing things to see and photograph. The area also changes between the wet and the dry seasons. This one was taken during the dry whilst walking on the beach at Roebuck Bay. I was immediately taken by the amazing colour, texture, patterns in the sand along the waters edge. Enjoy.
Red hot blue balls
OK, back to the colour stuff. For those of you who know me know that I love my colour. So this one is still from Broome, but more of an abstract of something that caught my eye.
Broome: Grit cross
Another one from a walk along the famous Cable Beach with Nicholas and Juddy. I love the texture contrast and colour. Dark and moody. Enjoy.
Payload...
This shot was taken from my recent trip to see Nicholas and Juddy. Nic and I were out at Gantheam Point looking at all the little crabs scavenging across the low tide sand, and I was caught by this little patch of red dirt amongst the normal sand.
Damien and surfboard II
This image was part of the initial shoot I did with Damien. I really enjoy working with Damien as we have a good understanding of what we are trying to achieve and is very focused in crafting a great image. This image wasn't part of my initial selects but the other night I was looking through the shoot and came across this one again and really like it. This time though, rather that developing the image like I usually do, I decided on a softer, more muted interpretation. I really like it.
Dark and stormy with Damien....
I haven't released this image before. It is one of a series I did a my buddy Damien. As I have said in multiple posts, Damien is just a pleasure to work with... he gets my vision and is the consummate professional... and a really awesome guy. This one was meant to be in front of a sunset that never eventuated.... but what happened was the sky went immediately dark and moody. A quick change to the lighting and this was the outcome. A bit of desaturation and detail extraction to gain a bit of 'grittiness'. Enjoy.
something from the beach....
Images from the beach in Seminyak, Bali, Indonesia. Hope you like them. Kings
