I had the best day out photographically yesterday!!
Didn't necessarily get the image to beat all images but just being out in the bush, a different season every 30 minutes from soft overcast light to howling winds and rain and the most amazing billowing mist swirling up through the cliff tops. I took far too many images and have been working the delete button pretty hard. However what I did get was some time to be outdoors with a couple of other crazy women with our cameras and tripods and I had time to look at the landscape and think about what I want to take over the next few weeks.
It was the best practice session I could have imagined. I was telling a friend today how much Len Metcalf's (http://lensschool.com.au/) insistence that we know our camera inside out and back to front has paid off. I gave my camera a really good work out and with it blew a lot of the cobwebs from my own mind. I came back quite exhilarated. Fresh air, exercise, creativity, good company, laughter ...
A great day.
But today isn't a blogger's day. It's not coming, so instead, a few images from the upper Blue Mountains on the 1st of June 2011. Today I'll let the images speak.
I'm trying to sort out a bit of a new style to show these gums. (above) It'll take a while. I can see it, I just have to make it happen.
