Okay, here we go, it's winter

Saturday 12th June: Well it is time to begin chasing some elusive defining images of winter. Today I was driving past the Molonglo River when I noticed how still the water looked and the harsh/warm afternoon light. So, I turned around, found somewhere to park and began heading along the bike path next to the River, taking a lot of photos and meeting the occasional curious onlooker, it soon got dark and pretty cold.

Right, I admit a small amount of licence has been taken with this first image, basically the orange/yellow saturation levels are bumped and so to the overall contrast. My camera is set to produce a flat image, meaning it looks pretty dull and lifeless until you do some post-production work.



This shot is an exercise in framing and trying to capture a decent amount of the colour space in front of me.



A couple of opportunistic black and white shots here; the light was dying so that created a lot of shadow to compensate out.


Late afternoon/near dusk makes for some interesting coloured lighting.


The second of these is my favourite image from Saturday, where light found a target, it was still quite strong, although getting very low and orange/reddish warm; shadow areas blue casted.
