Advertisement Posted November 15, 2015 Posted November 15, 2015 Hi MarkP, Take a look here Australian Landscapes - Open Thread. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Bill Livingston Posted November 15, 2015 Share #262 Posted November 15, 2015 I really like this... The variation in the way the cliff face has been eroded between the actions of both the sea and the wind blown spray has made for a really interesting composition... The black and white tones work really well and the rendering of the Noctilux adds to the textures and the overall starkness of the landscape... offset by the sky and the soft, but dramatic, clouds. It'll be a bugger to print I would guess... but done well it should really sparkle, especially with those heavy black tones to contrast the highlights in the water and the wet and reflective parts in the cliff erosion. Excellent. I have not seen this before, so I am glad you reposted it... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

platypus Posted November 15, 2015 Share #264 Posted November 15, 2015 (edited) Indulge me with one of my favourites as this has been posted in the Forum before... The Skillion, Terrigal Central NSW M9, 1.0/50 Noctilux v3 Mark, personally I don't think you should hesitate to post again images that have previously appeared on the Forum, whether recently or way back when. This Thread presents a rather unique opportunity to collect landscape photos of our beautiful country altogether in one place, also there would be many who have missed the earlier posting of those images.... anyway they are all well worth a second look so keep them coming. Your Terrigal shot (above) is just gorgeous and I (like Bill) imagine it as a print...I've even been wondering which paper would yield the best result!

david strachan Posted November 16, 2015 Share #266 Posted November 16, 2015 Love the rail siding Dee...very humorous. Jim, an amazing look-alike to Albert Namatjira's water colours. Very nice. Whale Beach in film, again, great work Mark. I'm still looking at your Terrigal overflow picture. Dee, the wonderful Eucumbene series...especially taken by the Eucalyptus Graveyard...a spectacular hanger, for sure. 266 posts...who'd thought eh? Congratulations all, sure shows a unique series of landscapes...I'm sure it scares some people though. cheers Dave S Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hunebed Posted November 17, 2015 Share #269 Posted November 17, 2015 Beautiful. The dark fences are an accent to the expanse. Someone invested a lot. Why are they so sturdy? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les_Sismore Posted November 17, 2015 Share #270 Posted November 17, 2015 (edited) Craspedia aurantica sp. commonly known as Billy Buttons. There are at least a dozen species of these common Australian native flowers (sub-alpine / alpine distribution), but the differences are not readily distinguishable in the field. Falls Creek - this is a downhill ski run in winter. 35/2 ASPH, Fuji Reala Edited November 17, 2015 by Les_Sismore 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les_Sismore Posted November 17, 2015 Share #271 Posted November 17, 2015 (edited) Beautiful. The dark fences are an accent to the expanse. Someone invested a lot. Why are they so sturdy? To keep the very valuable sheep in, and the rabbits out. Rabbits are introduced noxious vermin in Australia, and there have been many attempts to eradicate them using biological, mechanical and chemical methods. Some of these control methods are ongoing and locally successful, but these pests are widespread and an immense problem for many farmers.

david strachan Posted November 17, 2015 Share #272 Posted November 17, 2015 (edited) Dee, so much beauty in your simplicity. Very soothing image, lovely too. I'm out of images so far...you and Mark and Les and others are doing a mighty job...keep up the momentum. I've only been in Leica a couple of short years...so much to do , so little time. BUT, I'm a big fan here, and will always aim to post in this thread as a priority. Les lovely flowery trail. I love flower pics...they are corny, and clichéd, but for some of us they are beautiful, especially in context. All the best to you both, cheers Dave S Edited November 17, 2015 by david strachan 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was printed using the DeVere system ( fibre-based Fomabrom paper - looks fantastic :-) 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
platypus Posted November 18, 2015 Share #275 Posted November 18, 2015 (edited) Beautiful. The dark fences are an accent to the expanse. Someone invested a lot. Why are they so sturdy? True...you are looking at a big investment, good fencing is extremely pricey, but essential to keep sheep, cattle and horses safely contained. If allowed to wander on to the road animals tend to get squished...and then (to add insult to injury) the driver of the vehicle tends to sue the owners of the squished animals. Thanks for liking the image! Edited November 18, 2015 by platypus Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
platypus Posted November 18, 2015 Share #276 Posted November 18, 2015 (edited) I recall you had more photos from Jincumbilly. Can you post them please? Mark, unfortunately no....there was a nice colour shot, cropped to pano format, taken in 2011 (early days with the M9 and digital)...that's probably the one you mean. Sad story....last month I deleted some of my early LR backups, as I'd read that that manoeuvre would speed up the backup process. Which it has...but somehow at the same time I managed to delete about six hundred of my earliest image files. Nothing was lost that I've particularly missed, but the colour Jincumbilly image must have been involved as I have just looked and can't find it.

Iduna Posted November 18, 2015 Share #277 Posted November 18, 2015 Indulge me with one of my favourites as this has been posted in the Forum before... The Skillion, Terrigal Central NSW M9, 1.0/50 Noctilux v3 Terrigal Scillion Master DUO.jpg Mark, this picture is superb in composition and its dramatic rendering. The toning and texture emphasises the mass of the rock and makes the viewer feel being in the scenery. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is inspiring because of its colors and the frame is perfect make the viewer walk into this picture. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best is the sheep coming just out of the door from the waiting room and grazing. These passengers will have fun....! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aka the Monaro Volcanic Province...this area and much of the rest of the Monaro has always been naturally treeless and was not, as is sometimes believed, cleared of forest by the early settlers. M Monochrom/APO 50 Dee, wowwow, this is subtle and deep. I admire its fine toning + texture which remind me of a drawing. It is an invitation for a meditation... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
