Tunnels, Trees and Textures…
by Rodney Campbell on Mar.25, 2015, under Life, Photography
One of the photographic goals I’d set myself this year was to shoot some different things and one of those things was some textures. I’d started early this year starting my first few shots in this space back on the second of January. Now here on Kangaroo Island I continued the theme – but more on them soon :)…
Note: These photographs (especially the wider shots) look much better when larger – so click any of the images below to see larger versions in an inline overlay slideshow gallery viewer.
Driving back to Penneshaw from our morning sunrise session at Cape Willoughby with my daughters, I passed this little tree tunnel with a windy little dirt track heading off to the side of the road. Of course I had to stop and after multiple compositional attempts I think I like this one the best…

and stopping again about ten minutes later on the main road back to Penneshaw, looking back down the road. I’d like to claim that I saw the cool shape in the gap in the trees when I was originally composing this… serendipity at play once again. The rest of the composition, the square crop and the processing however are all me :)…

and so back to the textures. On the island interesting textures were jumping out everywhere if you had the courage to look. Normally I was looking to do much tighter detailed views of the textures themselves (which is also useful if you plan to ever use them as textures to layer blend with other images later in post to literally add interesting “texture”). Sometimes however I couldn’t but help falling back to my landscape roots and including them in their environment.
