F.13 / 20 seconds

I’ve been meaning to submit this one for some time since I photographed it in July but kept forgetting. This was captured at Cradle Mountain National Park on a short walk to a much larger fall. We arrived late afternoon at around 3pm so it was already starting to get quite dark being the middle of winter which was a real shame, this place was stunning and I probably could of spent hours here just messing around getting my feet wet but were rushed a little.

Photographed with a Canon 350D, Canon 24-70, Tripod

The cold conditions of Cradle Mountain, Tasmania where my photo budies hoped for blue skies, reflections and amazing light but were disappointed. Instead we battled poor visibility as cloud blocked any hope of sun shining through but I wasn’t too fussed already having a nice shot from 2007.

This one is stolen from Martin Pot, Some really inspiring shots in this link and definately worth checking out for those lacking a bit of motivation > Click Here for 50 Amazing Pictures You Must See on Flickr

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

Tourists at Cradle Mountain no way! But really Cradle Mountain is a beautiful place and I can understand how come tourists flock there for a walk around Dove Lake or to get a cliché shot. Amazing place for photographers with the varying weather conditions which you can experience.

It sure is nice living in Tasmania but a bit cold for photographing winter landscapes

This photograph was taken with a Canon 350D, Canon 10-22, Cokin ND Grads and a tripod.
