Alien Light ©billpurvis

Inspired by Stephen Shore.
Movement, shape, shadow, reflections,
colour and light, and an exploration
of the image within the frame.
The ebb and flow, the wind in the rushes, the changing light,
the detritus on the river bed.
40 still frames on one canvas create for a moment a 3D
kaleidoscope.
This is  re-edited Gif from 2016.

Hobart - April - 2018

A week in Hobart from April 7 -14.

We stayed in a loft AirBnb with views across Bellerive Yacht Club.

A diver prepares to descend at the Brooke Street Pier.

The Gif is compiled of 134 still frames.
The frames may take time to load.
Each frame was originally a 12mgb image.
The camera was hand held for the duration and shot
through the mesh of a fence.
The original posting has been titled and edited to adjust the timing
and draw out the content of a few frames.

Dog & bone
The previous property owner shot the wallabies that came onto the property and left the carcasses
in a creek bed. No shortage of bones for poochy.

The image of the sailing ship below is from a glass plate negative held in my collection.

A friend identified it, subject to confirmation, as the May Queen, and the Port as Hobart.

The May Queen is an historic sailing ship currently moored at the wharf in Hobart as the photos

show.
