Re: Lake Jindabyne, Evening Cloud, Infrared

Superb Maris! The IR film creates a dramatic effect.

Re: At the Blackall Wool Scour

Smoothly done. As I was reading this I recalled Ansel Adams quoting Louis Pasteur's "Chance favours the prepared mind." How true in this instance.

Re: At the Blackall Wool Scour

Maris, you tricked me well and good. I would never have recognised Paul Keating, probably due to the shadow across his face. Well done!

Re: At the Blackall Wool Scour

I'm puzzled, Maris. Who is the PM in this photograph? Or is the mention of a PM illustrative of the principle that a big camera commands attention? I must confess you've got me testing the reliability of my ancient memory. I can actively remember all the Australian PMs from Robert Menzies (second te...

Saw these a few minutes ago on LFPF Alex. Splendid work, congratulations. They would look even more spectacular seen in person.

Re: Melt Line, Near the Kozi Road

That sounds pretty right to me. I first visited KNP in '79/'80 and there was no vehicle access beyond Charlotte's Pass. I walked the entire round trip to the summit and returning via the lakes (about 20km if I remember correctly). I've since returned for walks from CP in both directions and have nev...

Re: Bicycle Belle

I'm tossed too, Mick. When I read the title I imagined I'd see something like 'girl on a bike'. When the image appeared I became intrigued and looked at it for a while without enlightenment. But here is part of the conundrum, that knowing the title forces the a certain expectation in the viewer to l...

Re: Tree and Moon, Isla Gorge

Well you work with what you've got, and I don't mind the vignetting at the top at all; I think it helps concentrate attention on the main item in the image: the moon set in its dark sky. And I think you got away with the bellows cut-off at the bottom, which is barely noticeable. An appealing image, ...
