Encounter Studio: experiments + journeys

brief notes on experimental photographic journeys

light #7

The photo was made just after sunrise  during  the recent,  intense stormy conditions on the weekend in the last week of winter. It was Sunday morning  and I sat on a rock at the top of Rosetta Head looking over Encounter Bay  waiting  for the clouds  to cover the early morning sun. 

The north westerly wind on the weekend was  gale force. It was gusting  around 80-125 kph and   the temperatures were 10-15 degrees above  normal in South Australia.   The wild winds  caused a lot of damage in Victoria and extensive flooding along the Derwent River in Tasmania. The latter had been in drought during the autumn and winter of 2024. It appears that the weather is becoming increasingly volatile and turning  quickly from one extreme to another.

The object was  light  not clouds, the sea or a seascape.
