Encounter Studio: experiments + journeys

brief notes on experimental photographic journeys

Fleurieu Four Seasons Prize

I've started  scoping for work for the  Fleurieu Four Seasons Prize for landscape photography. It's a competition and I don't  have much success in them. 

The Prize  is for a suite of four photos that are taken in the western part of the Fleurieu Peninsula over the four seasons.  I don't know this area very well  photographically so I've started exploring it on my away to and from Victor Harbour.  

On the way down this trip I  was looking for a late afternoon coastal location that would be suitable  for  5x4 film work, and which  had fairly easy access. This location looked a possibility. The picture was made at midday and so the light is terrible.  I will scope  it out in the late  afternoon  on my way back to Adelaide to see what  the light looks like then. 

It's probably more a winter picture than a high summer one.   Most of  the western Fleurieu Peninsula  is farmland and rolling hills away from the coast, and the initial scoping that I have done of this subject matter hasn't offered  me much to work with.
