When you place two passionate photographers in the same location, lots of cameras and some ginger wine, you come up with some amazing ideas.
During a stay at The Pines at Mt.Arapiles, a good Canadian Friend, Laura Grant, and I came up with some ridiculous ideas. Some of which have been completed below.
Laura and I, along with 6 other women, spent a month in the Kimberley in Northern Western Australia. Prior to the expedition we were given roles that would hopefully make the expedition run like a hot knife through butter.
For anyone who has ever completed an extended journey, you know this is not physically possible regardless of the preparation.
But Laura and I proceeded to take a lot of the imagery during that trip. Along with Anna, Tanya, Liana, Jess, Lucy and Mer.
So when we caught up at Mt.Arapiles over the easter break, it was pretty natural for us to talk about photos and what great plans we could come up with and shots we could take.
Being easter time, there were plenty of campers and climbers at the Pines, making it a little hub of excitement in the mornings and evenings and a quiet calm place during the day whilst people were off on their daily missions - some turning into multi days.
Night 1 hadn't even concluded and we had already planned the rest of the weeks activities around what photos we wanted to take. Below is a small collection of what I took. Laura has hers with her back in the homeland they call Canada.
Some great shots of those idiosyncratic tents and the people inside them. It is amazing how many people you can get to get inside their tent with their torch on just so you can take a photo.
I would like to thank all those who co-operated on this night.
We then spent two nights out in the fields taking star trail shots, of which the film versions are still waiting to be processed. Can't wait to see those ones.
It was definitely one of the more entertaining weeks at the rock.
