Overland track - trees
A selection of 'trees' from the overland hike. The conditions were interesting, very moist and cold which meant dealing with a lot of condensation on the lens, waiting a minute before the shot. Even taking the lens cap off meant the lens would mist up. Even then a few of the photos have an 'interesting' misty look...
Telling direction from the trees would be impossible... the moss was 360 degrees! My own criticism would be that I kept the lens wide open most of the time (f2.  thus not getting the DOF I should have had... not so obvious in these shots but can be seen in othersRainforest   Near Lake Windermere   D3 | 18-200VR | 50:1.4 | 28:2.8 | 35-70 2.8 | 12-24 f4

Re: Overland track - trees
#4 for me.
It's a great shot on it's own, but it has special draw for anyone who has been on the Overland Track - the boards, vegetation, low cloud and minimal structures. Looks like Waterfall Valley. The condensation is a real issue, especially if you keep the camera warm. Those rainforest shots in the Ducane? I could have spent a whole day there, but got the hurry up... Next time. Michael
Re: Overland track - trees
Lovely shots. I would be very proud of #4. Really nice feel to the shot.
Can I ask, did you 'sharpen' the others?
Re: Overland track - trees
Hey, yeah I did some sharpening on the first two. I've only got Picasa to play with the pics at the moment so whatever the default sharpening is in that.

Re: Overland track - trees
There is something about No 1 I really like, might be the colour greens that have an amazing array

Nice shots Justin, I've done this walk 3 times (many years ago), once with my beloved Kodak instamatic....

A version that I have edited in Capture NX - I think the light is much better -
