The picture below is an abstraction of a section of the trunk of an eucalyptus tree in the Veale Gardens section of the Adelaide parklands in South Australia. It was made using an old Leica rangefinder camera from the 1980s ---- a M4-P with a 50mm Summicron prime lens. This very basic and simple film camera (manual focus, no light meter) is the complete opposite to the modern technology of contemporary digital cameras (Sony, Canon, Nikon).
I had some time on my hands that afternoon, so I wandered around looking at the tracks of the various eucalypts. I was looking for the possibilities for abstraction. The colours of this particular trunk caught my eye.
