Two seascapes from the winter of 2022. Both of the pictures are of Encounter Bay from Rosetta Head (Kongkengguwarr) . This is a headland, 97m above sea level
I pretty much stand in the same location and I'm looking in the same direction east by south east --- the camera is basically looking across Encounter Bay to the coastline of the Coorong.
The picture below is from a 2015 autumn photoshoot at Sellicks Beach, a southern coastal beach in Adelaide:
Photographing the coast is an example of how photography has appropriated the language of painting---in this case the landscape, in which nature is seen for its own sake. The pictorial representation of the landscape in painting emerges in the 17th century in Europe and reaches its peak in nineteenth century with Romanticism. The genre 'landscape' is a way of seeing and there are different views of the land--eg., those of the aboriginal people, white settlers, tourists etc.
