We camped here for a couple of days, every time I visited the water there were people running around, until the weather started to turn that is. Finally got what I was after. This is Blue Pool in Freestone Creek, which is north of Briagolong. Shen Hao HZX-IIA 4x5" wooden folder FP4+ 65mm lens, ...

Another relaxed exposure here. The same model as the tree? Doesn't matter, I like the long shadow. As for the fuzzy black section, I didn't notice it until you pointed it out.

Do you collect these, or just happened upon them a...

On a roll there Maris, three completely different genres in a few minutes, all excellent. This is deceptively good, a quick look and it looks alright, then a longer look and it looks better. Viewing it on the screen totally enclosed in a black background, it shines. Great advice there with regard to...

Ooooh Maris, that is wickedly good.
