Nature, Wilderness, Photography, Video, Greeting Cards, Australia, Travel

My camera looks at Nature - with its big character from cruel to benign.
My camera does not look at people - they are everywhere else.

I photograph WHAT IS with open eyes. And sometimes WHAT COULD BE - with both eyes shut. For that, Photoshop is the translator.

Most of my video clips are shot in stop-motion technique: suns hurry up. Or down. Clouds fly away, shadows on the run. The inanimate comes alive.
There are plenty of clips at www.oz-greetings.com.au They, too, are arranged as Greeting Cards, for you to send away.

A few appetizers:
STORMY WEATHER is an afternoon of War & Peace in the sky. The camera was kept dry, but I was drenched in rain.

BLUE MOUNTAINS SUNRISE.
Charles Darwin travelled through Australia's Blue Mountains in 1836. He was amazed by the deep excavations. Subsidence, he concluded. But Darwin was wrong. 60 million years of weathering cut the cleft through which the sun is rising.
Inscribed on World Heritage List.

SYDNEY OPERA HOUSE.
A glorious sunrise, Sydney's architectural marvel and Wagner's stirring music.
The building gained World Heritage Listing in 2007.

CHRIST and CROSSES: from dark to light and triumph the sun rises over a cemetery - the New arising over what has been.

GIANT SUN shows the descend of that huge atomic reactor. It burns 657 million tons of hydrogen every second, converting 4 hydrogen atoms into one of helium. This process radiates 4.5 million tons of mass into space. Of this, 2 kg of sunlight reach earth. It lets plants grow and life live. It creates heat and cold, wind and weather.
That light took 8 minutes to travel the 150 million kilometers to our 1000mm lens (93 million miles).

PINNACLES DESERT.
Fantastic ice age sculptures when sea levels were 100m lower (330ft). Wind blew sand from the exposed sea floor and heaped it into dunes. Rain cemented the calcareous sand, then weathering did the artwork.

And of course The clip shows one day in the life of this awesome rock. 348m (446 feet) above ground the rock might reach 5000m down (16 400 feet). Its frequent description as 'inselberg' is geologically wrong. It is just the tiny visible bit of an underground mountain range.">
