ghost gum
I recently had the priviledge of travelling through central Australia. I scouted out this composition the day before taking this shot. With my planned return the following day and the show exceeded all expectations in a display of desert light and beauty.Glowing in the twilight, a lone ghost gum stands starkly and majestically. The scene backdropped by the jaw dropping West Macdonnell ranges.
Fuji G617 – Velvia 50.

yes its beautiful. I love the nature that surrounds it!
Tony Middleton replied
I’m glad you appreciate the entire scene Lisa – I too love it all. :)
Jared Revell
lovely shot Tony – like the tall, narrow cropping too, works well with this scene.
Tony Middleton replied
thanks Jared – I’m glad you like it :) This, like most of my work has no cropping. This one is shot on a 6×17 medium format camera. Not always the easiest to compose – but a joy to use.

Stunning.
Louise Cooke
you really have to hit the “view larger’ on this…it’s magic up big! Awesome Tony :)
Tony Middleton replied
Thanks Louise ! I find with the 6×17 (panoramic work) you really do need to view them larger as the thumbnails are proportionally very very small.
Jared Revell
ah..sorry Tony, didn’t realise. I can imagine this would have been difficult to frame with the panoramic – excellent work mate.
Tony Middleton replied
no need for apologies Jared :) I put camera & film types etc in my descriptions for people to understand,appreciate or learn.
happy shooting :)

Wonderfully unique aspect and the Velvia 50 has (as it does so well) captured the colour of the landscape well

Geoff Coleman...
Unbelievable colours Tony – what an incredible display – the gradation from the deep red in the foreground through the almost translucent pink of the gum up to the sky is sensational – such an unusual and effective vertical pano.
Tony Middleton replied
thanks Geoff – I appreciate your indepth commentary.

Interesting overlap of two elements with the added flavor of the gum tree. Light, color DoF make it wonderful composition Tony.
