until next week.....or the next origin.. :twisted:

I recently had the pleasure of visiting north QLD (Cairns, port douglas, Cape trib, Atherton Tablelands etc), this place is a dream for nature/landscape photographers, I also now envy those lucky to be living up that way!

I quite a few opportunities to take pictures whilst up there, the 4 below a few from the 10 day trip. I will leave out the cliche waterfall shots for the moment :P

To give you an idea of the size of the tree in the last image, the image is 5 shots stitched together, its a shame the picture does not convey the size of this fig...I might also add, this was not the largest tree there either.

I just wish I had the opportunity to get a decent UW before travelling up there.....next time!

CC more than welcome, particularly on the final picture....

Loving the lighting on the tree in the first image, very worthy of a print on the wall IMO.

ta, the lighting was something different on this particular tree, there was a break in the canopy just at the right spot to illuminate this tree. I hopefully will get this one printed fairly large on canvas, thanks for the comment.... :D

What an amazing set...esp the first. For the last you could have included yourself to give a sense of scale..

well given the state of origin and the two cases of crownies I lost due to it I could say a lot :? But seriously, you guys have some real nice forests up there, even around Lamington and that area its very pretty, I would love to get back there soon....

Some fantastic images there! I particularly like the first with the great lighting and the third also with the great lines, colours and textures.
