Pics from Muogamarra Nature Reserve...

Postby leek on Sun Aug 21, 2005 7:46 pm

For those of you that haven't read the associated thread, Muogamarra is a Reserve that falls under the protection of the National Parks & Wildlife Service... It is a highly protected reserve and is only open to the public for 5 or 6 weekends a year... The park contains many rare species of wildflowers and native plants...

Here are some of the shots I took (all with the Nikkor 105mm)... I need to go back again with a tripod... Let me know what you think...

Reminded me of the Bridge over the River Kwai (in Kanchanaburi) for some reason :-)

Probably the best bunch of pics I've seen from you. My faves are #2,3,6 and 9. You really make that lens sing - tripod or not! The last shot has a very aboriginal feel to it.

Only one that doesn't grab me is the first one - it's a little busy and no single point in the shot grabs me. It also seems to be a little oversharpened and has a slight blue hue, but it probably suffers most because of the quality company it's in. Well done and thanks for sharing these ones.

These are great captures Leek. I quite like 2&3, but number 6 is my fav by a big margin! I love both the simplicity of the subject and the rich brown tones. The DOF has made it into a stunning photo. I'll never look at some leaves on the ground in the same way again. :lol:
You've inspired me!!

thanks guys... while the flowers were great, I must admit I like the leaves and the sticks on the rock the best myself... terribly simplistic but pleasing to the eye...

I plan to go back to Muogamarra at least once before it closes...
