Textures – Ballina barks

Not much time for photography on this trip, more like painting, pressure cleaning and gardening. The Doc did manage some trips, around Ballina and Broadwater National Park. Some barks and perhaps a Coral Lichen. Enjoy. You must click on the images to see then at full size (the thumbnails look soft).

Happy and Holy Christmas to all

May the peace of the Christ child be with you and your family this Christmas.

Not much travel after the recent death on my father. The Doc did manage to visit another AWC Sanctuary, this time Curramore. He will post a few photos in the near future.

He is also thinking of Tasmania next year, a nice change from the red dust.

In the meantime, another flower following a recent theme. This time with a white background. Instead of using the inverse square law giving a black background, here The Doc used translucent Perspex as the background. He fired the second flash through the Perspex to overexpose the background, making it white. The Doc used the main flash to expose the front of the flower. It is a focus stack of 6 images.

Textures of the Australian Bush – Sands of Angels Beach

The Doc’ parents house overlooks Angels Beach, East Ballina. Here is a selection of sands from the beach, intermixed with algae, wind and wave action, rutile, footprints and even some surf scum. Take more notice next time you walk along a beach.
