The first of the West Australian Jarrah images from my Abstract nature series, created totally in camera with minimal to no post-processing.
Another one from my Abstract Nature series – images created totally in camera with minimal-to-no post processing. The challenge for me is to create a visually pleasing abstract image without resorting to using effects in my graphics program. When I do make adjustments to my abstract photography, I limit myself to minor adjustments in contrast and maybe a smidge of brightness. If the image needs anything else, it gets relegated to the discard pile!
Took this during my first play with my new camera, it’s of some jarrah that was cut up as kindling ready to start our fire..sad really considering how beautiful it is..the colours in the wood are stunning.
The yellow flowers are an Arcacia

This, my friends, is a Snottygobble Tree. Fair dinkum, it really is!! And it even has a dinky di Botanical name, persoonia longifolia. It can grow up to 5 metres high and in the summer carries striking bright yellow to orange flowers, which are pollinated by native bees. They are found more or less exclusively in the Jarrah forests of the south west of Australia, about 350/400 kms south of Perth. So now you have seen everything!! LOL
This is Jarrah… She is a Dingo X Ridgeback… / I really enjoy taking portraits of animals.. I love being able to capture the essence of their nature through their eyes…
Pop Art is a visual art movement that emerged in the mid 1950s in Britain and in parallel in the late 1950s in the United States. Pop Art challenged tradition by asserting that an artist’s use of the mass produced visual commodities of popular culture is contiguous with the perspective of Fine Art since Pop removes the material from its context and isolates the object, or combines it with other objects, for contemplation. The concept of Pop Art refers not as much to the art itself as to the attitudes that led to it.
We found her high up on a South West beach, tossed ashore like a matchstick by forces so violent they are impossible to imagine… Some matchstick…15 metres long – 50 feet for the yanks out there – she weighs over 2 tonne. / Her skin has been scarred and ravaged by wood borer and wave and sand and sun but she is a survivor, she is as tough as nails…no, much tougher because she does not rust. / Her skin is no longer the beautiful golden tan it was when they cut her down in some far off forest, taken away from her home in the cool, quiet shadows where the other trees watched on with sadness and fear, knowing that they would be next for the chopping block. She had been felled and stripped bare of her warm, soft bark and dragged through the dirt and mud and water, degraded beyond comprehension, a once tall, beautiful and proud tree now only regarded as lumber, as a commodity, as profit. / She had been loaded onto a ship, ironically made from her very kin, the vessel was sturdy and seaworthy, perhaps headed for the ports of the east coast of Australia, perhaps for the Thames where other trees of her ilk were used to pave the streets of London, to be thrashed and whipped by the wheels of industry and “civilization” day after day. / But she was not destined for that fate. This log had a different journey to take. / Five days out from the port of Fremantle a storm blew up from the Antarctic and hit that sturdy little ship like a battering ram. She was punched and smashed and buried beneath the murderous waves until, reluctantly, she gave up her precious cargo of logs, taking a crewman with 12 years sea time with them to his watery grave, crushed between their unfeeling bodies. / Our log was free… / She floated across the oceans for years, tossed about like a cork, the currents and waves playing with her like some monstrous cat-and-mouse until, in a strange twist of fate, she was caught in another storm off the coast of Western Australia where it eventually cast off her tortured form. This storm had brought her home, washed up on the sweet sands of her homeland where she had been born a century before, to rest in the sun, cooled by the gentle breezes, no longer tormented by borer and wave. Here she watches time pass, day by day, week by week, month by month, year by year, she sees children grow into old men and women, bought back to the same beach time and time again to swim and play and laugh and remember, she watches the very landscape change around her as the beach is taken and brought back again, the scrub grow and die and the shells turn into sand. / Her life story is etched into her very skin like so much braille, to be understood by those who can see beyond this dried up, dessicated lump of flotsam that lies silently on a South West beach. / She is a survivor.

Distant view of Wandoos and Jarrah forest at John Forrest national Park. Mist in the air softened the scene nicely which was added to by using an Orton technique. PLEASE VIEW larger
Taken at Edith Cowan University, Building 1, Joondalup, north of Perth, Western Australia. The posts and slats are made from the rich brown hardwood, jarrah. I should add that the lower horizontals are high enough to walk under. Taken with my Leica MP, 35mm, Velvia film / Cropped in Photoshop and a little sunshine filter added in Nik Colour Efex pro Another view of those slats: /
