Hi,

Few images from our last trip with my dad and our friends from Moscow to Blue Mountains (Wentworth Falls and Katoomba). Day was rainy and foggy but I managed to take some photos :)

Hilop,
#1+2+3, I'd rather stay home or in the hotel and enjoy something else.

Even though it was raining and misty...I bet it felt like summer to your guests? Hope they enjoyed themselves and very beautiful images.

You probably won't believe me but it was fun! :) I've never been in Blue Mountains in similar conditions before and it was something interesting and new!

To me, landscapes look all the more dramatic and interesting when the weather closes around them. Your day out in the fog shows this very well.

Great images.

That's the perfect weather to get the waterfalls in the blue mountains, everything is running well because of the rain. Plus the lower light levels helps you get the slower shutter speeds :)

Nice shots, any more? :)

Love the waterfall shots :) I remember going out to the Blue Mountiains on an excursion with school, there was massive amounts of fog around at the time. Enough so that when we got to the Three Sisters lookout, it was like looking into the abyss. 6 feet then just a white wall of fog!

Thanks again!

Owen,

I've got just these five from the film camera. Also, there are few from D70, I'll post them later, as part II
