A long exposure of a quiet stream which runs off St Columbia Falls, Tasmania. This is located on the east coast of Tasmania and is roughly 30 minutes out from St Helens which is a great little town to visit. It’s interesting how different each town is in terms of facilities available. I really like St Helens because it has a few restaraunts, Banjos for pastry and a large supermarket. If staying in St Helens, Queechy Cottages is ok if on a budget, nothing exciting.

Another from Cradle Mountain, Tasmania. Those familiar of the national park may recognise the bridge as you enter the park and pass a waterfall. This is up a little looking back at the bridge behind the waterfall. I was almost tempted to fiddle with black and white for this image as the sky really is quite dull but I’m attracted to the tones and texture of the foreground rock which would otherwise not be appreciated under a black and white conversion.

Udi at DIYPhotogaphy.net recently mentioned my work on his popular blog which I greatly appreciate It’s definately a big thing for me knowing my work is appreciated by others and is something that inspires me to continue shooting.

This was taken on the walk into Pencil Pine Falls, Cradle Mountain. The weather for Dove Lake was terrible with it being completely overcast with no contrast what so ever in the clouds which wasn’t all bad for other styles of shooting. The conditions as we walked into Pencil Pine Falls were quite dark (2-3pm) however the light was so soft and perfect for what we were soon to shoot. We spent hours just taking our time but I really need to get some gumboots or something so I can get more in the action but they would look a little gimpy haha.

Phase One P65 has been previewed at Luminous-Landscape which sounds amazing.. 60MP and incredible handling of noise at super long exposures but let’s not discuss the price tag. Click here to view the preview article
