Inner Storm
I dragged this little table into the water at Shorncliffe and sat an old picture frame on it as a storm came across the bay at dawn.
I took an 80 sec bulb exposure @ f16 and when I processed it I put the picture ‘into’ the frame and then again into the smaller frame within that etc…
Inner Storm belongs to the following groups:
Australian Contemporary Photography, Dawn and Dusk Light, Horizons, Lightning and Storms, Queensland, SEA and Timelapse/Long Exposure Photography Available for sale asGreeting Cards, Matted Prints, Laminated Prints, Mounted Prints, Canvas Prints, Framed Prints and Posters

Who’d have thought global warming would affect the planet so quickly?
I certainly hope you didn’t repeat the picture within a picture any more that three times – that’s fractal!
An inspired, if not abstract image here, Ben!

Joanne Bradley
Such a clever composition! Brilliant from concept to execution!
Anne McGinn
very cool – great concept! Me like!
Roboftheland
conceptually excellant – however due to the change in tones at the border of the picture frame, i think that the lil picture gets lost in this image. perhaps a solid colour frame would work better or perhapsthis frame agains.t a darker background. at a quick glance i would not have noticed the picture was anything special – only the words pointed this out to me.
bensound replied
I take your point Rob, you may well be right.
Although when you see a large print of the shot the framed picture is a lot more prominent as opposed to the size we view it on a computer screen.
