Image #02440


I'd been camping amongst the massive Karri trees of Big Brook forest for three weeks and, just about every day, had ridden past these vines.

From ground, or even motorbike, level however I could not visualise a photo of the scene.

On the day we left though I had a 4-metre high camera platform, in the shape of Wothahallizat, my motorhome. The extra elevation made all the difference.

The truck has easy access to a checkerplate walkway on the roof, just for such an occasion.

The following excerpt from the getREAL diaries tells a little more about the taking of this image.

I climb up onto the roof to take a photo from four metres in the air. I have to wait for a break in the breeze and it's quite difficult to watch both the camera and the subject to ensure they are both still.

On this occasion however Chris has popped her head up through the hatch so I have an assistant. "You keep an eye on the vines" I say, "Tell me when they're moving or still".

For the next ten minutes I get a running commentary as I wait for the camera's state of motion to match that of the vines. The ensuing dialogue goes something like this.

Chris says
I think


"Still" moving
"Moving" still
"Still" bugger, nearly
"Moving" now the camera's still!
"Still" oops, missed it
"Moving" will it never end?
"Still moving" Eh?


Eventually camera and subject match, and I take the photo.
