The picture below (from early January 2023) comes from my decision to explore and experiment with a different approach to the seascape project that I have been engaged in over the last year. I am finding it an intriguing project.
The exploration involved searching for different locations from the Rosetta Head one that I had previously been using. What I was looking for was a site that would enable me to get closer to the sea , as well as provide protection from any surging rogue waves. I was wary as I'd been previously caught with expensive consequences for the photography gear.
I spent the short period between losing Kayla to cancer and Maya arriving searching the coast of the southern Fleurieu Peninsula between Petrel Cove and Kings Head looking for suitable locations. I was also scoping for a suitable location that would allow to use a tripod so that I could use a large format camera.
This was one I found (17/02/23) but I wasn't happy with the rocks being included. I didn't want rocks and I wanted some clouds:
Though I eventually found several possibilities these really depended on whether it was high or low tide as some of the locations were quite dangerous at high tide. More often than not a large wave would splash over the large format camera and tripod. I could only safely work at low tide.
The location that I found for the above photo did offer protection from the surging waves at high tide, but it would be quite tricky trying to set up the tripod and large format camera. There was little in the way of a ledge to work from.
I can but experiment.
