Corroboree Rock (Antanangantana) East MacDonnell Ranges, Central Australia
Despite it’s name, the real significance to the local Aboriginal people of this rocky outcrop is not well known. Quite a sight with the Spinnifex and Senna on the high ridges and Supplejack, Whitewood, Bloodwood and Red Mallee in the valley - even found the odd native fig at the base of the rock.
The small roadside sign reads “No Dogs Allowed” – looks like they might have had a dog problem a few thousand years ago!

Here is an image made at Docklands, in Victoria, Oz. What you see is just a small crop of a large panorama I put together a few weeks ago. The finished pano can be found here: http://www.gigapan.com/gigapans/134321
Have fun, explore the image, view the panorama in full screen mode and zoom in on the details! Enjoy!

Escalator To Nowhere
Hamer Hall, Melbourne - Image © PeteM2020 Click on the image for a larger version |
I know – I’m a sucker for reflected images. Found this concoction in Melbourne’s Hamer Hall. Haven’t yet worked out if the appeal lies in the visual order brought into chaos or simply the labyrinth the eye has to navigate to make sense of the image.

Redshift - Speewah*
In the Australian outback, on a moonless night - I wonder if this is how Crooked Mick would see redshift from the Speewah?

The Blue Hour
Think… 1970s, England. The Blue Hour… that time of suspended animation between pub lunchtime drinking hours and the reopening for pub evening drinking hours. I am relieved to report that common sense has since prevailed – now all-day imbibing is available!

Keen photographers on the other hand, carefully calculate the Blue Hour – those 20 odd minutes when the sun is just below the horizon and the light is particularly blue. For the curious, a Blue Hour calculator can be found at http://www.bluehoursite.com, and an iOS App is also available!

"Rubin Face" – optical illusion.
Image © PeteM2020 |
Rubin face or the figure-ground vase is a famous set of ambiguous or bi-stable two-dimensional forms developed around 1915 by Danish psychologist Edgar Rubin. (Just what you were dying to find out!)
I spent some time in Photoshop fiddling with this image to get the illusion to work – take too much away, or not enough, and it falls apart. I’m quite chuffed with the final result!

A Tall Rat’s View
I was very taken by Oliver Fluck’s 2011 “A Rat’s View” night-time New York image showing the Chrysler Building. This image is my inspired copy. I felt that Flinders Street Station might be the answer, but I’ll keep hunting for other suitable Melbourne landmarks and shorter rats!
