PotW 28.08.07

Postby Glen on Tue Aug 28, 2007 4:00 pm

This weeks Picture of the Week is by Rooboy (Patrick). A tremendous 30 second exposure he took at Kosciuszko National Park which has great detail in the sky (note the frypan) whilst having an other worldy feel to the foreground. Full story and shooting details here: http://www.dslrusers.com/viewtopic.php?t=28202

Great photo and very worthy POTW. Well chosen, Glen
Regards, Patrick

Two or three lights, any lens on a light-tight box are sufficient for the realisation of the most convincing image. Man Ray 1935.

Thanks for the comments everyone :D

Can't wait to go down again - next stop is the Ramshead pre-dawn.

Thanks again for that great little torch Glen - I did completely drain its batteries, but it was incredibly useful :)
So join in the chorus, and sing it one and all!
