Thread: Water, Rust and Fungii

I really love the photo of the old piece of machinery. Would be interesting to know it's history.

Congratulations on the photos

Regards

I'd like to know where it actually is?



With your first photo I like the long exposure to get the soft water, but shots like that always need a sturdy tripod, and a little fiddling. I suggest you leave the others behind or find some other photographers to go with if you want to get good shots. Speaking from experience.

Great shots as usual GJ . Beautiful colours in the fungi, I'd be tempted to grab one and use it for spalting

Give me some time and I'll check my Hema and see if I can work out the co-ordinates.

All the shots were hand held. I'm keeping a record of the places I visit with the intention of going back either on my own or leading a 4wd trip with the intention of taking time to get great photo's. The group I was traveling with were primarily interested in the drive and it would have been unfair of me to expect them to wait for me to get the "perfect" shot every time. As it was we were an hour late getting to the end of the trip.

Yeah the general rule is not to shoot hand held under 1/60th but that also depends on the focal length

Very nice pics. Great colours in the fungi.
Cheers Frank.

Rule of thumb is the reciprocal of the focal length, i.e. 100mm lens = 1/100th sec, 35mm lens = 1/35th sec etc. Also you can factor in if the lens has any stabilising features, which can give you 2 -3 stops on your shutter speed.

Nicely done John, You certainly take the time to enjoy the places you go!! Cheers, crowie

The picture of the fungi looks great.

This one if I remember correctly came out of the Rubicon bush near Eildon Victoria or maybe one of the sawmills in that area.
A bit of a giggle for Ray (wheelinround), in that link of the Alexandra Timber Tramway have a look at "Needs and Surplus Stock"
I'm the first on the left in the top pic and also standing at the lathe in the bottom pic. Pre moustache.
