An area in the Blue Mountains (Mt Wilson). Always interesting in the mist with it’s mixture of gum trees and mossy rocks. Photo taken around 2019.
Variations
Blue Mountains rainforest area. Small movements can make a difference.
Bushfire colours
Depending on how much an area is affected by a bushfire, the foliage takes on a variety of colours. This was taken several weeks after a fire went through part of the Blue Mountains. Some natural bush on the perimeter was less affected and took on some paler tones providing an interesting and varied colour palette.
Glen Davis
Quite an old black and white looking a lot like film (but not). A good representation of greys and sense of distance with faded escarpment in the background.
Benches
Some scenes on benches look like they were from movies. Actors memorising their parts maybe? Discretion is required to capture a natural look. I don’t really want people looking down the lens. The second image seems like ‘the day after’. Clouds reflecting in the window are an interesting touch. The third image is sheer luck. Not only to have an ‘extra’ in the scene but also that there were no other people to distract in the shot at such a busy place in Sydney (Circular Quay).
Standley chasm
As far as I remember this photo goes back to 2006. Central Australia can be a bit ‘samish’ in areas where there are not so many features. But there are plenty of pockets, especially where there is water that throws up some pretty spectacular images. Lots of reds and oranges and beautiful gums with white trunks to give that green accent. Day to day lighting is similar when its clear. One of my favourite spots.
