I popped to Ullswater the other night because I thought the light was nice, and I had my new 70-200 f2.8 lens and I wanted to check its sharpness. I exposed for the highlights using the histogram and then a friend tinkered with it a bit in Photoshop. I'm happy with it seeing as it was a 20 min ride out to test the lens. Please remember I only bought the camera for work purposes and some astrophotgraphy stuff, so anything else is a bonus!

I keep telling Tess, we have to go out west, we can't get shots like this around here.

Cannot believe that you haven't yet. The real problem is not trying to figure out what you want to see, but what you are willing to skip.

There really is so much to see on the western third of this continent that, even though I live in the general area, I don't have a particularly strong desire to visit anywhere else. There's so much of great interest both locally and within two days drive.

Witnessed a "Worlds end" sermon from this Whte-winged Chough.



It was preaching to the converted.....

Helen Lake and Mount Lassen, with the DFA 15-30:

super multi coat takumar 85/f1.8....K-1

[Focusrite]

Taken shortly after sunrise on a calm morning down at Hotham River. A little bit of fog hovering on the water, and the sun lighting up the trees. Two exposures focus merged, D-FA 28-105mm @ 68mm, f14, ISO100, 1/4 second exposure.

Raining star light.

Yeah, a bit cheesy; but I had an idea, and borrowed a mate's lavender-coloured umbrella to see if it would work

Taken about a week ago at Lake Dumbleyung. K-1 with the Samyang 20mm f1.8. f4 and ISO800, 43 exposures at 120 seconds each for the stars and reflections. After I had finished the star trails, I then light-painted the trees using my headlamp and merged them to in to give them a bit more detail so that they weren't just dark silhouettes.

The shot of me and the umbrella was taken much earlier in the evening at a different spot on the lake while the moon was still up for some illumination on my back. I used the Sigma 35mm f1.4 @ f2.8, ISO6400 and 15 seconds. I set the intervelometer, trudged out into the water to a spot with a rock in the water where I had pre-focused, and held my best pretend-it's-raining pose for 15 seconds. I then cut and glued it into the photo, scaling it against the tree.

Glad it actually ended up looking kind-of how I envisioned.
