Willpena Pound - pastels on kraft paper. remembering this special place on the edge of the South Australian desert
Number 3 of 12.
Over the next 12 days I am going to post a photo taken from Huck's Lookout looking at the same part of the Ranges. They have been taken over a period of 8 years and will show that the Flinders Ranges has many faces, no matter how often you see them.

In 1917 Port Augusta became a hub for Commonwealth Railways, in addition to South Australian Railways. The Commonwealth government established their major railway workshops in Port Augusta which was a major employer in the town until 1997 when Australian National Railways (the former Commonwealth Railways) were privatised. However, there was hope of new railway work when in January 2004 the first freight train rolled out of Port Augusta on its way to the new rail had of Darwin and the enlarged Port of Darwin.

Well this weekend we are putting the final touches on the new Denis Smith Photography website to coincide with a soft launch of the business next week.
Having a solid website and online portfolio is so incredibly important. Amazingly I am super busy at the moment without too much effort, mainly with video production, which is really fun.
The trip to the Flinders Ranges on the weekend was a bit of a blast before really settling down to a long year of hard work. I had so much fun, and still have dozens of Ball of Light images tucked away, along with heaps of really nice video that will probably sit on the hard drive for a while until I become super slick in Premiere.
Anyway. Have super amounts of fun. Denis

Our recent trip to the Flinders Ranges was less about light painting and more about relaxing as a couple talking and laughing, spending some time just being present and at peace. But the couple of times I did get out it felt very old school Ball of Light. Just simple compositions that were more about the landscape and the emotion I was feeling than anything else.
This is Wilpena Pound in the Flinders, and ancient formation. The rocks you see in the foreground are some of the oldest exposed rock on the planet! Hundreds of millions of years old.
Peace, Denis
Part of the Flinders Ranges. Taken from the Flinders Ranges Way between Hawker and Wilpena Pound in the north of South Australia.
This is an experimental shot that didn't work out as I wanted. It is a blend of a single sky shot and a long exposure foreground taken during astro twilight. This was taken from Camel Hump Hill near Hawker looking towards Castle Rock, however even with the long exposure foreground, Castle Rock is difficult to make out.

Castle Rock from the perspective where you can see more clearly how it got its name. From a distance it does look like a castle on the hill.
A recent trip to the Flinders Ranges enabled me to use my Phantom 3 drone for some camera viewpoints I could not normally shoot from. The freedom which this enables the photographer is amazing. The 2.7K stabilised camera normally shoots video although can also shoot raw still images which can then be post processed.

Well it is less than 12 hours until the new Denis Smith Photography website goes live, which really means that Denis Smith Photography will be open for business.
I remember when the Ball of Light came into my life I wondered whether one day i would be able to make a living from it. What is amazing is that the Ball of Light will remain my fun and creative outlet as the "normal" photography takes off.
Change can happen, it is hard and takes time, but planned well and executed with passion and energy it can happen. I am so super pumped about the future. I simply want to share the enjoyment I get from meeting people and getting them excited. It is going to be fun!
Anyway back to work, it is close now! I promise this will be the first place I start making noise. You bunch of friendly, inspiring and supportive folk!
Peace, Denis
And this is what we hiked through the rain to see.... www.walkingsa.org.au/walk/find-a-place-to-walk/arkaroo-ro...
We arrived at the Flinders Ranges and spent the afternoon just exploring this astonishing landscape. As the day rolled on the clouds rolled in and my hopes for a sunset faded away. Hour by hour and then eventually minute by minute.
What I was hoping for, what I had wanted was an opportunity to photograph that quintessential Australian windmill. It was a shot that had starred a leading role in my bucket list of photos for a long time.
As my hopes for a good sunset were rapidly disappearing I was becoming increasingly impressed with the opportunities I was seeing - WINDMILLS!
The day was over and the sky was cloudy, dull and boring and my expectations were at an all time low. I drove back to a windmill i'd found just down the road from our accommodation and waited patiently.
Then - with sunset approaching fast my fortunes quickly changed and the inconceivable became the extraordinary.
In front of me me was everything i'd hoped for.

Painted silos are all the rage in recent years in parts of Australia. The silos in Quorn, South Australia aren’t painted, but are used in a light show each night, so they are painted at night. You sit on benches or your own seats (or your car) to watch the show projected onto the silos. The show is made up of a. Series of short stories on topics like the value of water (this image), the role of the CWA feeding troops who passed through Quorn in WW2, the Ghan railway. It’s a great night out in Quorn.
Die Tannenzapfenechse (Tiliqua rugosa, Syn.: Trachydosaurus rugosus) ist ein im Süden und Westen Australiens recht häufig vorkommendes Reptil aus der Familie der Skinke. Andere Namen sind Tannenzapfenskink oder Stutzechse. Englische Bezeichnungen sind shingle back, bobtail lizard oder, aufgrund ihres Aussehens und der geringen Fluchtneigung der Tiere, sleepy lizard.
Tiliqua rugosa is a short-tailed, slow moving species of blue-tongued skink found in Australia. Three of the four[2] recognised subspecies are found only in Western Australia, where they are known collectively by the common name bobtail.[3] The name shingleback is also used, especially for T. rugosa asper, the only subspecies native to eastern Australia.
