Torrens River - Obahn Busway - Flood - September 2016

Torrens River - Obahn Busway - Flood - September 2016

A photograph taken at about 1AM of the Torrens Weir.
A flood alert was issued for the river.
We tracked the river to the weir in Adelaide CBD.
The photograph is a 4sec hand held exposure braced against a rail.


Leo frolicking beside the flooded Torrens River.

After the storm - near Battams Road foorbridge


Battams Road footbridge - unpassable


A slightly slower frame rate. The speed of the bus is relative to the duck preening it's feathers, the speed of the cyclist and the flow of water. There is a missing frame coz the transfer rate was too slow or I lifted my finger momentarily?? hence the cyclist jumps ahead.
There are 34 frames in the sequence. Oh and the bus jumps ahead too which would help explain the accelerated speed

Wrappers - naturally

 text&images©billpurvis
This is my favorite  work.
Its presented in lolly-pop style.
A discarded wrapper proclaims  'No Artificial Colours', a  contradiction.
The book documents pollution in an urban landscape, discarded wrappers and
ephemeral cast-offs, with a hint of the quirky and humorous.
