That's NSW on the left and Victoria on the right, which is where we were camping. This spot is about 2 hours driving away from the nearest tar road, which is the Alpine way we left behind at Tom Groggin camping area, about 30 mins or so from Thredbo. A good 4WD is needed to get there, and getting out in the rain would be - a challenge.

Shot with the D300 and 17-35 on tripod, that was sitting in the water. As was I in my waders after fishing all afternoon. This is straight from the camera, EXIF intact. Still trying to pick the best from the series of shots I took.

Cheers.

Lovely image and very unique. I like the dark colours, the depth of field, and how there is movement in the water. I hope your time over there was as good as the image you are showing us.

Thanks. I was happy with the DOF and movement I got, but was worried it was a tad dark. I also wasn't sure if the top part of the shot with the trees added anything.

Always nice to get some feedback.

I think it does show a perspective and indicates it is a river. I still think you did well and brave to get inside the water with your equipment. I'd be too scare!

I'll admit I was pretty nervous. I'd actually fallen in the River the previous day about 100m upstream walking back from fishing. Sometimes you stand on a rock and as it takes your weight it shifts or turns out to be one of the few slippery ones. Believe me I walked S L O W L Y when I had the camera with me, and that water was only about shin deep!

Nice photo of the movement...

Love the water flows in the pics! and great composition too......
Urm...will bringing out the green colours by a bit make it more intriguing? Just a thought....

Yep...
in my opinion the pic look's good, nobody's asked the question, how was the fishing

Reasonable.

In this spot it took as a day or two to figure out where they were hiding, the first couple of sessions yielded nothing. Fish were all very small, but that's not unusual in small water a long way from dams or lakes. Also spent a few days down near Geehi where the fishing was well under previous years as the river was down 2-3 feet, but still fish every day.

Trout on fly is very addictive!

Nice shot. I really like how dark it is. It seems to have a lot more going on in the picture the more you look at it. Very nice.
