Creating & Capturing Life's Precious Moments

Day 2 We drove back to Little Desert, but this time did another track (Ponderoo Hill – I think) and Stringybark Track and then went back and did the River Track again. It was again cold, wet and drizzly and not as many animals to be seen and still very few wildflowers. A few kangaroos…

Day 11 is focusing on Landscapes, I shoot a lot of landscapes, some good, some not so good. I also love to add some drama with Long Exposures, Lens Flare, storm clouds or stormy seas. Sometimes it’s great to cover foreground, middle and back grounds in a single shot, other times it is not always…
