Art and Practice
As you may have guessed I’m interstate at the moment. A friend and I have travellled to the coast of NSW to take some photos. Not sure we are going to get what we want, but it is lovely to get away. We are spending a couple of nights in a magical little town called Central Tilba, and I thought it would be fun to do a Weekend Wanderings post about it.

The day announcing the photo challenge is changing to today. It is the same day I announce it on social media. This way it is in line with that. We are up to Photo Challenge 10 and this week it is trees.

This morning I had a lovely morning out with a new friend, David and his daughter. We went down to Frankston with the hope of doing some long exposures. Unfortunately there were no clouds and it was a little bit boring. We then headed to Mordialloc. The company was good, the sky was too clear.

Last week I spent the day along the Great Ocean Road with my friend Chris. We went to Hopetoun Falls, then to Cape Otway Lighthouse and ended the day with sunset at Loch Ard Gorge. I hope you enjoy the images I got.

Here is one of the long exposures I took of a pier that was across the road from where we were staying in Port Arthur.

Just recently I showed you the images I took at Port Arthur with my normal camera, the Nikon D800. Here is the post so you can look at it, Port Arthur Historical Site in colour. At the time I did the post I said that I had also done a heap of images with the infrared camera as well.

It is a silly question really, because it all depends, well, on a lot of things. When I went to Tasmania I took the Infrared (IR) camera with me. I wasn’t sure I would use it a lot, but then I discovered that it was great for some subjects. Trees especially, even more so if they are dead. However, there were some other subjects that were a surprise to me.

Yesterday morning I had to meet a friend in the city so we could do our subscription for Melbourne Theatre Company next year, and I figured, if I’m going in I may as well take the infrared camera with me to try out.

It is the Monochrome Madness Challenge on my blog tomorrow morning and I thought I might have a look at how one image can be done one way and then in another.
I took this image last weekend in a park near where I live. I really liked the tree, there is something about it. I have no idea what the tree is, not that it matters. I took this image and then decided that I should play with it. I wondered how it would look in black and white.
Now the image has a completely different feel to it. I tried to imitate an infrared effect, it didn’t quite work, but I’m not too fussed. It isn’t an infrared image, but I like the wintery feel it gives the image. The original doesn’t really have that. It is a great thing to do, to try and do one image in different ways, see what you can get. I had to do it when I was studying photography, see how many different ways you can do one image. It is an interesting experiment. Why don’t you try it. Monochrome Madness Week 16 will published tomorrow morning and when it is I will add a link to it here.
Monochrome Madness Week 16 has now been published.
