Back at Cement Creek with Deb for a bit of experimentation with exposures and off camera flash firing. Great fun, though a shame the NEW gumboots leaked!

Cement Creek is located in the Yarra Ranges National Park, and you will find a lovely walking track, & rainforest gallery half way up Mt.Donna Buang. Mt.Donna Buang is a great spot for “sight seeing” snow in winter – last winter the snowline was lower than I have ever seen – so a great place to take the kids for snowman building & toboggan rides!

SPOT THE TOG!! Deb camouflages herself at Cement Creek!

Lindsay Knowles

Love it Di. You have captured the flow of the water well and there is plenty of detail in the rocks etc.
Maybe a tighter crop to remove the blurry fern at the top but its just a minor thing.
Di Jenkins replied

thanks Lindsay – yes that bit up there is distracting … I’ll take your advice on the crop! Cheers mate!
Barnesy

Nice one DI….and very apt title….:)
Di Jenkins replied

This is so beautiful Di, that light is really magic and perfect exposure.

Really like the colours and the composition / angles of the shot. Almost several shots in one.
I am disappointed about the gum boots. Not the hole in them, but that you wore them. Come on, get your feet wet, it really adds to the sensation of being there :)
Di Jenkins replied

well as it turns out my feet WERE WET!!! LOL! Thanks so much Mark!!

Very Zen. There is spirituality here. The fuzziness of the water plays tricks with the perceived depth of field.
