Storytelling With Images, An Experiment

Posted by dale on Feb 13, 2010 in creative photogrpahy, landscape, trees | 1 comment

A couple of weeks ago I took a little bush walk in Sherbrooke Forest near my home. I came back with a number of fantastic photos however, viewed individually or one after the other, they lost some of their appeal and magic. Last week I experimented with uploading an image a day with a one sentence caption that told a simple story. The photos and captions helped to tie the images together and allowed me to highlight aspects of the photo. This worked out really well so I’ve placed them together into a little movie complete with a Ry Cooder audio track.  I’ll continue to explore and experiment with this as another media. Let me know what you think. Cheers.

Photographs taken in Sherbrooke Forest, Dandenong Ranges, Australia. All images were taken on a little walk about a half mile from my house. Hope you enjoy the serenity and majesty of this great mountain forest.

Where's that pot 'o gold?

Willow and I were getting into the car to run down to the store when we spotted this rainbow. I love how rainbows dip right down into our valley. You can really see the end of a rainbow!

Doodle Week – My Desert Garden

Posted by dale on Jul 16, 2008 in landscape | 13 comments

Doodle Week marches on. I’m not a gardener, my lawn will attest to that, and I must confess that I rarely doodle garden style images. So, I knew today’s Doodle theme would be a challenge. I decided to Doodle my favorite place in the whole world. This is Guadalupe Peak in West Texas. Actually this doodle is of El Capitan which sits just in front of Guadalupe Peak. It’s my spiritual heart. I used to travel out here several times a year and camp and climb to the top. It was a great place for me to relax and reflect. A place to unwind and re-connect.

I took Mamma Planet there right after she arrived in the USA. I didn’t realise it then but she had never been camping and had never hung out in the desert. She was a 5 Star hotel city gal from Sydney. Needless to say, she endured but would not tell stories of fond memories trekking in the desert mountains today!

Here I am in an old photo on top of Guadalupe and looking down on El Capitan.

Now that I live in Australia, I really miss my trips to Guadalupe. So, here it is, my inspiration for a Doodle Garden.
