G'day again,

Just popped in to post a couple more from the week-end up at the High Country... Yet to start on the few pano's I took...

Working out where I might go and play tonight, might be in for a nice sunset...

Let me know what you think, suggestions very happily accepted...

Cheers,

Setting the scene...
EXIF: D70, F11, ISO200, Nikkor12-24@14mm, man exp 1/40th, RAW, matrix metering, single exposure


Just after sunrise at the summit...
EXIF: D70, F16, ISO200, Nikkor 12-24@12mm, man exp 1/40th, RAW, matrix metering, single exposure
This one I hadn't finished, I was going to burn in the distracting grasses on the right...


Another sunset shot from the summit, probably not a very good image but it was breathtaking taking it in at the time...
EXIF: D70, F13, ISO200, Nikkor12-24@12mm, man exp 1/15th, RAW, matrix metering, two exposures blended


And that standard shot every one takes...
EXIF: D70, F13, ISO200, Nikkor12-24@18mm, man exp 1/15th, RAW, matrix metering, single exp image

Absolutely gorgeous images. The last one being the quintescential (sp?) image of the high country, just missing some wild horses

It is certainly some inspirational stuff. Looks like you had a very successful trip.

my favourite shot is the last
right out of the man from snowy river.

All of them are fantastic!

In the first one, the tent looks almost alien, yet vaguely incan/mayan/aztec as well.

In the second one, the colours are great - maybe just not as sharp?

In the sunset one, I like the way the foreground mountains are *just* visible, as opposed to just being a dark foreground or silhouette. Soooo nice. Can't decide whether there'd be a warm breeze blowing to match the warm colours, or whether you were cold taking this shot.

Re : the final one. Maybe it's a standard shot everyone attempts, but I don't think I've seen very many that well achieved.

One hellava trip netting some fantastic images. I really like the last one Andrew.
cheers

the sunset and the hut are fantastic pics.

G'day,

The object in the first one is the lookout tower at the summit of the mountain, assumedly used for keeping an eye on people snowing in Winter and fire watch in Summer?

It was quite mild during the sunset, it was very comfy with my thermos of coffee and barbequed chook from the local supermarket , didn't wander down the hill until about 9'ish and was wearing a t-shirt and a thin vest thing...

Andrew,

Sunset from the summit - tops! I like the other ones but 3rd is the best!

THE LAST ONE IS EXCELLENT !!! onya mudder

cheers rob

Andrew, bloody great Some amazing skies you have captured as well
