Rock Tracking

On 22nd April 2021 a rock was released onto a patch of beach on the side of the Penryn River in Falmouth. A tracking device was attached to the rock, and the two painted white to maximise visibility when locating and plotting. The resulting documentation shows where the rock was found each day, starting with close-up photographs of the rock and moving onto wider angle shots that show it in relation to the beach as a whole.
