- MINIMALIST Landscape Photography at the Beach | Sony A7III 24-105mm f4 Landscape Photography Vlog
In this landscape photography vlog I visit Currumbin Rock and focus on the more minimalist landscape photography subjects, photographing unique textures, patterns, shapes and contrasting elements throughout the sand, rocks and waves. Join me for some outdoor photography at the beach, minimalist photography can be a lot of fun especially minimalist seascape photography, give it a go if you haven't before.
If you're into landscape photography in the field, photography tips and tricks, and gear videos, please SUBSCRIBE for more landscape photography vlogs.
What ever you'd like to call this; minimalism, abstract photography, fine art photography...I find it really enjoyable to find the small details, and whilst these shots aren't amazing, it's fascinating to find so many beautiful/natural patterns in nature!

Thanks for watching! Had to rush this video out as I was sick all last week 😂. Do you have a favourite shot from this video?
I didn't get a notification that the video was up.. I was wondering why you hadn't put one up! Watching now mate
@@acecreates thanks mate I had a few people say the same
Love, love, love these kind of images! Trees and hills was a favorite on this round.
Thanks so much Juanita, that shot does seem to be popular haha. Thanks for watching, I’ve also been enjoying minimalist shots recently
I love the minimalist style
Thanks mate. Since Covid it’s also been one of my favourites
I really like the third shot! The scene looked like a drone shot of waves hitting coastal cliffs! Lovely tone of sand to work with!
Thanks a lot mate. It is a lovely long stretch of coast line, from black basalt boulders, long stretches of sand, lots of options. Thanks for watching mate
Hi Rauri. Gorgeous images, hard to pick a favorite as they are all fantastic but the trees and hills tops the list. It's amazing what you see when you take time to slow down. Great work! 👍
Thanks so much, glad you like that one, loving these minimal shots recently. A nice break from the busy rush of photography too.
Those last few shots of the long exposure waves coming up the beach were phenomenal mate!
Thanks a lot Michael! Gotta go shooting again soon ✌️
Absolutely love those intimate sand images. I don't live near the coast but when I do head in that direction I spend a lot of time looking at the ground. Easy to find unique and interesting patterns and textures like these. The image at 4:44 is just spectacular though!
Yeah! Explains my bad posture quite well 😂 always looking at the ground for something of interest. Thanks a lot for checking this out Courtney appreciate your support 😊
Beautiful images Rauri. I love intimate landscapes. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks John! It’s definitely my preference these days too 😊
Ooohhh nice. Really like the one at 6:45 The images with the water look very dreamish. Beautiful textures in the sand and rocks.
Thanks a lot Paul, it’s a great stretch of beach! Hoping to go back and shoot sunrise one day soon
I really love your vlog and photos. Keep up the good work. Alain
Thanks a lot Alain!
Greetings from Philippines ❤️❤️❤️👌👌👌👍👍🇨🇿🇨🇿🇨🇿done watching my friend🙏🙏🙏Thank you for sharing❤️❤️❤️
Thanks a lot for watching
A lovely set of images there Rauri and a nice relaxing video. I really like the abstract one at 6:12, and my favourite is at 4:43 - I love those colours and textures in the rock and the way the sand looks like waves. Speaking of sand, I can't believe how much more of it there is than when I was last there! It was completely cut out and I had to scramble up onto the rocks....such a dynamic beach so there's always something new! I hope you're feeling better now!
Thanks a lot Lisa was fun to shoot these little scenes, as the light wasn’t anything too special. Haha I was expecting the sand levels to be lower, definitely were lower than when I was last there. Quite a dynamic spot that’s for sure! All better now thanks for checking in 😊 hope you’re well
Good stuff Rauri! Really cool abstract shots, I really liked the ones of the rocks at the end especially the one that was rust coloured. I've always wanted to do some photos like this but we don't get the texture in our sand like that or the pools mainly because we don't have the big tidal movements here like you do there or up in the more northern latitudes. Just plain sand here. The 24-105 looks like a really versatile lens both for landscapes and seascapes! Really enjoyed it mate. Hope you and the fam are all doing well! Keep safe down there!
Thanks a lot Paul! I often take this type of photography, as you said, thanks to the terrain and tides we have here, but don’t often make them into videos. Haven’t had much opportunity to go out and shoot recently. Thanks a lot for watching mate, hope you’re well too, we are doing ok, seeing as we are one of the last states to not yet be taken over by delta …so far anyway (finger crossed stays this way). ✌️
Great idea when no clouds and clear skies.
My favorite was the trees and rolling hills.. Awesome mate 👌
Thanks Colin glad you agree mate. Appreciate you checking out this video 😊
Rauri, I usually don't like abstract images very much, but now you have me reconsidering that attitude. You really captured some amazing photos.
Thanks a lot mate. I really enjoy it, I find it relaxing and opens my eye to smaller compositions people usually walk past. Glad you liked the video 😊
Keep doing this kind of video Rauri this is perfect. Your images are absolutely fabulous and you got a good eye to find out subjects.
Great Work again.
Thanks you Hilary, really appreciate your words. I do have plans to do some more minimalism soon, actually in my next rainforest vlog there are some smaller more minimalist shots which I like, but will make another video on the topic soon 😊
I love this type of photography Rauri, your sand images are stunning. I do a lot of abstract rock images it's a lot of fun and I get some neat results.Love that Hills and trees sand image and the one at 7.26. Thanks for sharing
Cheers John really appreciate your feedback. It’s a lot of fun to do this type of photography and very therapeutic! Thanks again
Wonderful location and great series of shots, I can't decide which I like the most, they are all great!
Really nice to see how you go scouting for patterns and details!
Thanks mate. It’s a lot of fun doing this that’s for sure 😊
And I thought you were taking a break this week!
Love the one with the footprint. Kinda makes me think of the part of the Sistine (Sistene?) Chapel with the hand of God and the hand of man reaching for each other. I really like the composition of the one at 4:29. And 4:46 - that one should definitely be for sale on your upcoming website (hint hint). Love it!
The one at 6:46 is interesting - discounted it at first, but then stated to feel it, had to come back and look again and... yeah... I think I like it. The qualities are more subtle, but I think it's quite well composed with the way the line in the sand mirrors the edge of the receding water, and the way you've positioned it in the frame really works well.
7:32: wow, that texture is so cool! But I'm not a fan of the bottom left hand corner.
With the one at 8:21 - I really liked the contrast between the blue stone and that red oxidised iron, but loved it even more when I mentally cropped up so that just the top 1/4 of the red was included. I guess that's the beauty of photography as an expressive medium - everyone sees things differently.
Yeah, the square crop is nice for the algae shot.
Some really nice shots in this one, that was a nice surprise this morning. 🙂
Thanks a lot Adam, I totally agree that often times these simpler images made for nicer clean prints. I need to do that one day … if I can find a good affordable website and sit down to make it. Appreciate the feedback on the images too, always great I know how others see my images, the Sistine chapel comparison is a great one!
I’ll rewatch the video/time stamps whilst reading your feedback.
I wasn’t expecting to upload this Sunday night, I had already made a start, but I sat down last night and I thought I could get the video out in an hour or so if I worked through it quickly. Nothing filmed this week though so I better get planning 😂 thanks again!
👏 Wow! So much to like here Rauri! Really like Medusa and Arrow as well as shots at 4:45 and 8:45 😊🇦🇺
Thanks so much Sue! Glad you liked these simpler minimalist shots 😊 it’s very therapeutic to try and find these little patterns and compositions.
Excellent video, Rauri! These were very creative shots. It is amazing what we can find if we take the time to look. I think my favorite is the one at 1:54. I am really drawn to repeating patterns and I liked how, as you said, it looked life a leaf. All your photos were phenomenal though!
Thanks a lot Walter that is very kind! So many interesting patterns and shapes… especially before people start stomping on it all haha. Thanks for the support
Great stuff Rauri, I love small detail shots and take quite a lot of these type of images, these shots worked really well. Love the shots at 6:45 and 7:33👍
Thanks Andrew it’s a bit different to the large waves and epic skies I usually look for at the coast haha but I find this shooting very enjoyable. Thanks again mate
Hey Rauri. Beautiful images. I do find "hunting" for those small little details quite relaxing, it makes you really slow down and see a lot more. I do love 4:40 and 6:45. Amazing images. Great work again, mate. Hope you have a good week.
Thanks a lot Paul, it surely was relaxing, really clears the mind. Appreciate the support mate ✌️ have a good one
Wonderful video my frend
Thanks a lot mate
Love me a good minimalist shot. Two of the sand images were gorgeous. Could picture them as 2-metre prints. Lubbly, mate. 👍🦘😄
Thanks a lot Peter, which sand images did you prefer mate? I think for me I prefer the inclusion of the waves as it’s adds more contrast in texture and colour. Thanks for watching 😊
@@RauriBarron I really like the tightly cropped one at 2:12 (is it upside-down?), the sand and rock at 4:44, and the one at 7:31 (cropped in a bit more to simplify the bottom-right). Must be getting warm up there already, hey?
Thanks mate appreciate the feedback 😊 yeah is warmer now, jumpers are off, mid 20’s, still have a few cooler nights but it’s good. How’s lock down going? 😔
@@RauriBarron All good, here, mate. I'm really scouring the local woodlands at the moment - sometimes without a camera (other than my iPhone, which is great for 4k b-roll and tree tagging). Looking forward to a long drive in the mountains and deserts again, though!
@@peterfritzphoto sounds great mate all the best with that scouting. I’d be itching to get out, I haven’t been able to get out and shoot so I hope soon! Take care mate will chat soon
Nailed it Rauri. Each shot had its own unique flare and I really enjoyed all of them. My favorite was around midway with the sand as the foreground to a rock”wall” with some red texture on it. I would definitely purchase some Australian sand print for the new pad and support the cause. Again, many awesome shots and in harsh light. Great work
Thanks a lot Timothy, was really relaxing to do this, no pressure for the light. That one you mentioned did seem to be well received so that’s good to know! Thanks a lot mate. 😊
Beautiful shots
Thanks a lot mate
Very nice video Rauri! Loved all of your shots. My favorite is at 4:44 . Keep up the good work, mate! :)
Thanks a lot Thomas, appreciate the support mate.
Great video! The pictures are beautiful!!
Thanks a lot Gracie - appreciate your support 😁
This was awesome mate, I really love minimalistic, intimate details & you got some ripper shots! My absolute favourite shot is at 4:45,that is sick! Can imagine that one printed large, hanging on the wall in a NY penthouse😀. Seriously that one is a strong image mate! Also the last two frames at 8:10 with the “rusty” textures of those rocks looked sweet. Thanks bud for sharing, was super enjoyable! Cheers😊
Thanks a lot my mate. If you’d like one for your NY penthouse please let me know, or maybe your one in Shanghai? Or London your home town 😉. Thanks for your kind words mate 😃
@@RauriBarron contact my agent🤣
Oh but… I thought we were on a first name basis. Gee sorry back to the agent. 😂
Great stuff Rauri I hope is well with you! I gotta say i like the shot at 7:30 it almost looked like branches from a tree. It was very unique looking I liked it. Well nice job again I hope all is well with you out there
Thanks a lot Lee. Doing well mate, busy busy these days with work/family. Hope you’re well 😊
@@RauriBarron I hear you on that! Yeah good at here just over this heat.
I feel ya! Even here in the Southern Hemisphere it was 25 degrees today not even summer yet… dreading it! Stay cool ✌️
This is just what I need to inspire me through lockdown - get out in the 5km and find some abstract. Great video mate! I really loved the image at 2:02 and 4:45 - both stunning! Hope you're feeling better.
Oh I was too quick to comment 7:29 was FANTASTIC. I've attempted a session at this location way back in 2019 but never thought to do what you have done - I was too caught up in the sunrise!
Thanks a lot Adrian! Yeah feeling much better thanks mate 😊. Glad you liked those shots, I must admit the last few times I’ve been here, even when there was no colour at sunrise I still shot the classic sunrise/wave shots, which we average, so I’m happy with the images from this shoot 😊 appreciate that mate 👍
photo at 4:32 just i wish to was mine! excellent! i like it so much that im already sub!!
cheers from Greece!
Thanks a lot mate 😊
Firstly i guess you tube ads are now hitting us under 1k subs now in Australia, i got an ad straight up. Second i think that guy with the mo looks familiar lol seen round the traps before. Great video on minimalist images Rauri and a tough subject when the sun is up, the image @4:39 look really cool with the rusty looking rock and sand!. Hope you are feeling better mate.
Thanks for watching Jeremy! Yeah I've been seeing ads everywhere now 🥴 CZcams using us for free content and ad monetisation as well now. Yeah...that guy with the mo..he seems familiar, kept hanging around and looks a lot like the guy from my last lake video...he's everywhere! Thanks for watching! Yeah all better now 😂
Lovely change of pace and subject matter, you looked really relaxed (the rocks weren’t going anywhere soon) and your results were just wonderful. BTW I didn't mind the footprint thought it helped 'ground' the image. Loved it Rauri 🙏🙏🙏
Thanks Izzy, was a very relaxing morning which was enjoyable. 😂 Glad you like that shot with the footprint in it, haha I didn't think that it would help to 'ground' the image, but I like that! Thanks again mate.
@@RauriBarron 🙏😂🙏
Really good shots mate. 4:30 and 4:42 along with the shoreline shots around the 6:30 mark were awesome
Thanks for watching Dave! Expect to see more vlogs from the coast coming up as it warms up here 😁
Nice!
Thanks a lot Evan!
Great photography❤️❤️❤️lovely scenery too❤️🙏❤️liked + subs and fully watched🌟🌟🌟very interesting video,so great it captured nice photography and accurate footage particularly even the texture of the sand and rocks❤️❤️❤️more than a stolen shot I guess😁😁😁🌟🌟😁😁🌟
Thanks for watching I appreciate your kind words 😊
@@RauriBarron welcome friend♥️🙏❤️
I really enjoyed this one mate - I do like a bit of seascape minimalism. All the shots were great, but I really liked that one at 3:23 - I didn't even notice the footprint. You could photoshop that out quite easily though. The one at 4:46 is fantastic too - love those colours and textures. I was at the coast this weekend as well - very different to your coastline though! 😄
Thank you Rob! Me too, I often shoot this style when at the coast but don’t vlog it 😂, will do it more often. Thanks for watching this mate. Which coast did you go to? When I was in the UK I only went to Cornwall and Brighton, from memory vastly different 😆
@@RauriBarron Cornwall is fantastic for coastline - Brighton is cool too, but it's more about the town there, I think. I was up in the North West at Morecambe - so very different again. Very much a British seaside down. But some nice opportunities for photography too. 😊
Lots of variety there! I really miss the history and architecture and green fields of the UK. Can’t wait to go back one day.
How bizzare! I was asked to do a photo talk at short notice last week for a UK photo group on this very subject! I think it is a lot harder than it looks, and everyone's view on what is classed a minimal will be different. A quick comment on the images at 6:18 and 6:29 - lovely contrast in colour, but the empty sand is - well - empty. I think your image at 6:45 demonstrates this point as there is an item of interest that runs through the sand and gives the viewer something to look at. Imagine the other two images with a round pebble or something - anything just to help fill that empty space, especially if it "pointed" at the water. I presume that some of your freedoms are returning? Stay safe out there chap.
Thanks for watching Huw! It definitely it challenging, but I found it very therapeutic to slow down and enjoy the morning. This was vlogged before our lockdown, and now we are free to roam the state again so I should be out and vlogging soon 👍🏻 Thanks again for watching and commenting mate.
@@RauriBarron Awesome news sir. Stay safe out there. Cases are still on the increase in the UK, although the vaccines seem to be doing a good job of keeping people out of hospital.
@@huwalban that’s good news, it does seem the delta variant is casing more hospitalisation here… thankfully we are finally ramping up vaccines. 🤞 will check out your new video soon.
