Stroll Around Melbourne - some pics

[The1]

The1, its my d5600 with 18-55mm kit lens. Yes, CPL in place. 1.3 second exposure, stopped right up IIRC to F16 just so i could get the longer exposure to soften the water.
Am looking at Nisi, Fomatt-Hitech or Cokin for ND filters so I can do 30 second exposures during daylight etc

PS: theres more of these coming too guys, sit tight They take a while to post process.

Nice, even kit lens doesn't do to bad at higher F's

The1. The waterfall was ISO100, F14, 26mm, 0.5sec exposure. Hoya CPL. Nikon D5600 with 18-55 kit.

was it flowing fairly quick? for 0.5sec, unlike mine in that post being 30seconds.

The1's pic of the ant is magic. So much detail and clarity. It looks like they have multiple eyeballs like a fly.

there was some eye shots on page1

Here's my desktop pic atm, these little jumping spiders are tiny as, like the tip of a pen small, the hardest thing ive ever had to try and get a photo of is a dance fly, ive only even gotten this 1 photo, i used to spends days at a farm taking pics, used to run the battery's dry, it's a fun game that never ends, this specialized lens is only manual focus as well which adds to it lol People freeze insects to get shots, so not fun. I should prob start another thread, not exactly Melbourne lol I have a gallery over here, will have to update it one day! Anyone else got a gallery?

this is tawonga gap


if you drive a couple of kays out of bright, then hang a left, you go up over a hill which takes you over to mt beauty.
i always love to capture this as its a beautiful spot and i love being able to look down into the valley below. it was a bit hazy which i've cleaned up but the rays from the sun on the left are pretty spesh.

Geez, you can almost see my house in that photo. That lookout is great but I can show you some other views of the valley that showcase the town as well.

Simon thats a date. I'l be up again soon as I didn't get near enough time to do anything like i wanted. Are you in Mt Beauty or Tawonga?

[slewinson]

I am in downtown tawonga and work in Mt beauty.

Let me know when you are coming up and I can help you out with some great spots.

luckiest man alive.
i have friends that live in mt beauty who i need to catch up with also.

will do. i have to sort out this silly hilux for some off road duties and make it more distance usable/friendly.

[slewinson]

Yep, I moved up here from suburbia (SE suburbs of Melbourne) nearly 20 years ago for a 6 month contract...

Probably know your friends as it is a really small place. The 3 best spots are accessible with a normal 2wd car with reasonable clearance. One of them is a bit rough but only about 1k walk from the main road.
