brief working notes on various photographic projects

seaweed abstracts

I've started photographing seaweed on the beach at Encounter Bay when we are down at Victor Harbor. I have been exploring it's abstract qualities  in  both colour and  in black and white.

I started taking them  on the  poodlewalks  in the mornings with Raffi along  the beach when we were down here for the week. I don't have much time to take them after the sun rises and before it becomes too bright. 10-15 minutes at most  if there is no cloud cover.

Here is the colour version for contrast:

I converted the digital colour  file into black and white using the Silver Efex Pro 2 post-processing software.
