passing by

Passing by - I'm not sure if it is the Italian in me but I do love to people watch. The beach is the perfect place to do this as everyone is focussed on what they are doing, be it walking for fitness, going for a swim, spending time with family, fishing - it is a place to unwind, relax, leave the worst of the day behind you.

I step on to Grange beach in particular and just feel everything melt away, it is amazing the power this beach has over me. It is the perfect place to spend the last hours of the day with others who are quite obviously enjoying exactly the same thing.

These 3 walkers caught my eye as they were almost crossing paths, doing exactly the same thing, very close together but still so separately. I hand-held this shot using my ND8 filter to reduce the light as I was shooting directly into the lowering sun. The filter produces great silhouettes which I am a huge fan of :)

welcome to rbat photography

Hi, I'm Bec :) You can also visit me & my work at Flickr - rbat75. 

In this blog, I will be sharing my photography, particularly my new project which will feature predominantly dark/black & white images.

I shoot with a Canon 450D and a range of different lenses, mostly Canon but there is a Tamron zoom lens in the mix also. 

While I enjoy shooting a range of things, my signature and passion is landscape photography. When you live in a place as beautiful as Adelaide in South Australia, it is hard not to be a little obsessed with beachscapes in particular.

Hopefully as my project progresses, I will expand to include portraiture, cityscapes and street photography. It will be a challenge to leave coloured scapes behind but an exciting journey for me to take.
