Graham Earnshaw, Lakeshore Beauty (BLACK & WHITE 2020)

This recently photographed series is from a small local lake located in the northern suburbs of Perth. I wanted to showcase the lake before the big winter rains came. Being only half filled, the lake provided some very unusual shapes and curves, which I wanted to capture using my drone. The low water level also allowed me to really highlight the contrasting beauty of the mud-cracked earth against the lake's stillness, as well as the dry reed-grass surrounding the lake. A large flock of corellas having a rest a small dead tree on the lake's shore, plus some doing a fly-over and a couple of swans added some extra drama for the images. The images are softened slightly.
