Hi All,

Just returned from a lovely trip to Tasmania. Here are a few pics, with more to follow.

Bay of Fires - Binalong Bay.



Sea of Grass.



Iconic Tasmania - The Cradle Mountains.



On the Overland Track.



Cradle Mountains like never seen before. Truly. I searched for a shot with this concept, but could not find a single one. (Might be a first.)



At the Top.



Dove Lake.



Just sitting. (Thanks Than for the ML-L3)


Like always looking forward to all your comments.

Nosh.

Great set Nosh every one a winner well done one place i would like to go some time soon

Some fabulous pics here!!

My 2 favourites

Iconic Tasmania - The Cradle Mountains
On the Overland Track.

Not real sure about the 1st pic. Seems like something's not right?? Maybe to much color up top or maybe the sloping horizon.

Otherwise a superb series.

Amazing pictures Nosh, i can see your quite the adventurer and a highly skilled photographer
most shots have great mood
and that last one is just daring but amazing is that on top of cradle mountain?
Excellent work.

Some awesome shots... very nicely done.

My favourite is the boat... beautiful shot. I hope you don't mind but I was curious to see how the shot would look without the strong lens flair, and just a touch more contrast.. If you do mind, holla and I will remove asap.




cheers

Hi Wendellt,

Yes that last one is on the top of Cradle Mountain. Thankfully the wind had died down later in the evening. Walking up I was almost getting blown off even the flat bits let alone at the top.

As for the colours in the first shot Bay of Fires, it was amazing that I for the first time actually turned my saturation 'down' on the camera. Probably thats why it recently got voted second best beach in the world by a travel magazine.

A land of true extremes and great beauty. True to the adventurer siprit I am planning a 4 week trip to the interior regions of the Himalayas at the end of the year.

Nosh.

how busy was the overland track ? they come from all over the world to walk it ! i found the hardest bit going up mt ossa ! i've done it twice and loved both times, thanks for the pics

cheers rob

Lovely shots Nosh.

With the shot you took of yourself, how far was the drop ? Was their a ledge, or could you have plummet a couple of 100 metres ?

The boat is a great shot, captured at probably the most dramatic time of day for that particular shot.


Iconic Tasmania is beautiful too!

Number 2,3 and the last just blow me away. I love the old boat! Beautiful image!

Not a problem Xerubus. Go right ahead. I dont want to fix on saturation, colour, brightness etc. etc. until I calibrate my monitor. Might even take my Laptop down to the local photo shop where I get stuff printed for calibration.

Rob, I did not see very many people on the track, but then again I did not do the complete overland track. Just went up the top of Cradle Mountain and basically had a day to myself. I was with family.

Thanks Matt and Alpha. I would approximate the drop to about 250 - 300 meters. It seemed atleast half way down the mountain.

Yikes! Your Brave, hope it wasn't windy up there!

Great shots Nosh - I love the boat & Cradle Mountain with the star trails (how long was the exposure?).

& there's no way on earth you'd get me sitting on that outcrop

Great shots mate, all of them very impressive. My mate and I hope to escape our bubs and wifes in December and explore tassie for a week, so if you have any other pics, please postr away.

I really like the star trail image, pretty bloody impressive!

The image with the Star trail was a 10 min exposure. I was lucky that it was a moonless night, or the moon would have killed the shot. On the otherhand I might have got a different mood. Anyways I could see the milky way and the 2 Magellanic clouds with amazing clarity as well. Am making a big blowup of the star trail shot for myself.

Fantastic Nosh

There are inspirational!

Great photo's Nosh!

some nice captures here.

sure looks like a place I should go look at one day.

That's a great series of very high quality images there...

The amazing color in the sunset is so strong... I'd love to see a grainy B&W of "Sea of Grass" and Xerebus, that looks good too...

Nice tonings and exposure in "The Cradle Mountains"...

Definately though, the stunner for me is "On the Overland Track", magic lighting and exposure, really grabs my attention, pls print that...

The star trails is really cool, "At the top" the OOF foreground catches my eye but great scene, be amazing to take that in "in the flesh" when you're taking the photo...

Just sitting is a great environmental shot...

You really make me anxious to get there... I'm spending 4-5 days in Tassie on another photographic workshop (going to the high country to see Craig's hut etc. too next week-end ), staying at the Lodge at Dove Lake so can't wait...

Wonderful pictures. Love them all.

The beauty of many of these photos is the cloud formations - ominous, foreboding and very photogenic

Beautiful images of a beautiful state. Tassie is such a wonderful photographers paradise with beautiful views and light that just bounces off the vistas.

The real beauty of Tassie for a photographer is that it has a true dusk and twilight, unlike anywhere else in Australia, due to the latitude. The long sunsets give you so much more time to compose your images

I agree about the true dusk and twilight Killakoala. We had about 2 good sunsets during our trip the rest of the days were plain clowdy. To get truly amazing pictures I am sure nothing beats living there and just being there day after day.

Will shortly putting up another set of images from Tassie.

Noch they are really beautiful shots.
