Riverina / Flinders Ranges / Broken Hill (Easter Holiday)

[sheepie]

OK - so we're finally home (well, we got home on Sunday, but it's been a bit hectic since then!). After 5,728km there's a hell of a lot of photo's to go through!

Here's the track we ended up taking:




What I've done so far is put some of the semi-worthwhile ones up on my smugmug site, mainly for family and friends to have a look. You're welcome to have a look at them if you want:
http://sheepie.smugmug.com/gallery/1122579
Most of them there are unprocessed, taking the JPG straight from the HD (I shot RAW+JPG to make this bit easy )

Here's a few that I think are worthwhile sharing here - comments and suggestions for 'next time' (!!!) are encouraged





It's amazing country, and I really can't wait to get out there and see more of it!

Before I go, here's one of Little Sheepie pretending he's enjoying a walk!



There's a few others which I'll post once I've PP'd them, as I think they're also worth sharing here - one of them has a photographic interest, will try and get to that tonight

just had a quick look at your web site and you have quite a collection of stunning captures........

I agree with Big Pix, some fantastic shots on your gallery.

From those you posted, #2 & #4 are the stand-outs. Simply gorgeous colour and simple elegant framing in #2, although I'd be tempted to crop just a tad of sky. Great perspective and colour in #4, what lens was used?

Post more once PP is done . Great stuff

Sheepie, some stunning images @ smugmug...


My faves from this post are #1 and #4. Great colours and perspective. #2, seems a bit too red on my lcd, eventhough the scenery itself is stunning. Looks like you guys had a great trip. Thanks for sharing.

Sheepie,

Some great shots there and in your gallery.

For the ones you've posted, #2 and #3 really appeal to me.

Sheepie,
You have had a ball along your journey! I love to do the same also but could not make it this year.

Hope I will make it in the near future once my new diesel truck finished the run-ins. It's just 800kms on the clock.

Good Stuff! Love traveling the outback and really like on the edge of Broken Hill !!

Nice Shots Sheepie... Even more good ones on smugmug...
Glad to see you put the GPS to good use...
I must get out bush one day - looking forward to my retirement

I've just gone through the SmugMug pics. You certainly have a fair numnber of keepers there - a few that jump out: some interesting sunsets, the shots at the radio telescope, the snake close up, the red/cream building. Can't wait to see your finished images.
