Desolate Landscapes
Landscape photography is something I’m particularly interested in - mainly because I love to travel.
I’ve seen some pretty varied landscapes, and some are easier to photograph than others. Recently I visited Victor Harbour in South Australia for the first time, and took the opportunity to walk over to Granite Island. It is a fascinating place, and not just because you can get there on a horse drawn ‘coach’.
The position and weather make this a pretty weather ravaged place. Add some lichen, and you have the makings of some interesting photographs…
There are so many angles to get these boulders at. The weather was a little grey, but it almost makes the red of the lichen stand out even more. The only adjusting I did was to add some Contrast. Otherwise, these are the real colours!
Taking the photo at this angle makes the stairs on the left look more treacherous than they actually were. You really get a feel for the potential devastation that Mother Nature can wreak…
