When travelling between Willow Tree and Gunnedah in NSW one travels across the Breeza Plain. The road is fantastic and when I had my merc it was the one place I could put my foot down - actually hit 200kmph 8)

There is one little rise on the plain where the township( :!: ) of Breeza sits and this photo is of the general store - weather beaten and probably not a very busy place.

Shot on the Nikon D1 with 28-105mm
iso 200
f/16 at 1/250 sec

To the guys and gals overseas a little bit of Australiana

Very quaint, I take it there is no paint store in Breeza?

Chris,

Very good for an image taken while you're travelling at 200kph. Obviously the VR was working well. :)

Panning is such a marvellous thing - now am I talking about photographic panning or the other type :roll: 8)

This is great, Chris. Have you tried it in B&W or Sepia to add that really old sort of feel?? Would be interesting to see...

VR has been standard in the entire Benz range since 1896. :wink:

Great shot Chris and, as a fellow Benzer I appreciate a good road and a good photo opportunity.

I'm a sucker for pictures like that. Just love 'em. Maybe it's because my mum came from rural Arkansas (middle America).

Hard to decide which is better the B&W or the color, but I think I'd opt for the color because it shows how beautiful the skies are over there.
Color me very jealous. :?

Thanks for sharing it, Chris.

Thanks Chris!

Love the colour one, but I must say, the B&W looks brilliant! Lovely work!

Steve,

Is it true that if a couple from Arkansas move to CA and then get a divorce, they're still brother and sister?

I think the b&w shot has greater impact.
Nice pic Chris, well spotted stormy. :D

Chris, great shot, very evocative.

Stormy, good idea on the BW

Chris, I reckon Stormy's second suggestion of sepia might even be better, a fairly light sepia wash.

Whaddya reckon?

Good shot mate, glad you pulled over and got the shot i bet.

I think it looks more comfortable in colour. PS Slow down and enjoy whats in between - say 140?

Regards

Sean :D
