  • Andrew Stockwell

    Andrew Stockwell

    This is a great shot. The other photographer gives the shot scale. Great composition and colors. Good Job!

  • Temma

    Temma

    Cheeky !
    David looks as if he is headless. lol.

  • Garth Smith replied

    Thank you Temma, some days he is LOL.

  • Aaron Tomhave

    Aaron Tomhave

    That reflection absolutely ROCKS! Were you on a calm tidal pool?

  • Garth Smith replied

    Thanks Aaron, tidal estuary flats between the islands of mainland Tasmania and the Hunter group of island. One of the most valuable bird habitats for migratory waders in Australia I think I read in the local rag a few years back.

  • Shelly Hiebert

    Shelly Hiebert

    Hahaha! I just saw David’s version with you in it and that’s why I came to check out your work! Yours is better….....it’s a Nikon thing ;) Really awesome image Garth :)

  • Anne O'Connor

    Anne O'Connor

    WOW, fabulous morning. perfect images. I’m envious. Will have to come and get into the act too.
    anne

  • Garth Smith replied

    Thanks Anne, yes it never ceases to amaze us the scenic quality within such a short distance of our doorsteps. David and I were discussing this on this mornings shoot.

  • Jane Marin

    Jane Marin

    Wow what great shots! Both you and David! :)) How wonderful to be in a place with such wonderful scenery!!

  • Garth Smith replied

    Thanks Jane and yes you are right, so much so close.

  • David Murphy

    David Murphy

    Better than a headless one….......

  • Phineous Cassidy

    Phineous Cas...

    this is nice quality for a d40 nikon do you shoot nef files or jpegs ?

  • Garth Smith replied

    Thank you Phineous.
    I used to take jpegs.
    Now I shoot NEF files, and enlarge and sharpen them in NX2 to about 4500×3000 pixels.
    Then I convert them to jpegs for loading to “the bubble”.

  • Michael Matthews

    Michael Matthews

    Great shot Garth. I can see you are slightly taller than David. I’m not game to pick the best shot. They’re both brilliant. I love the commentary.

  • Garth Smith replied

    Thank you.
    Yes I probably am a fraction taller but there’s not much in it Michael. I agree there’s nothing in it.
    My clouds may be slightly better but I also think Davids shot has the better foreground.
    (not that its a contest mind you LOL)

  • Michael Matthews

    Michael Matthews

    Exactly. I’ve just added both to my favourites because they’re both brilliant. What a team !!

  • Garth Smith replied

    Thank you Michael.

  • butchart

    butchart

    great composition… and beautiful colours…. this shows what photography is all about from the photographers perspective….............b

  • Garth Smith replied

    Thank you butchart

  • Aaron Tomhave

    Aaron Tomhave

    That is some great scenery, and an interesting piece of info, too!

  • Garth Smith replied

    Thank you Aaron, yes it is magnificent scenery. I hope David appreciates me giving away one of my secret spots LOL.
    What info was that Aaron – that I have a terrible hat, or the bird info, or the NEF/NX2 info?

  • Stephen Colquitt

    Stephen Colquitt

    Glassy morning – this is terrific

  • Garth Smith replied

    Thank you Stephen.

  • Aaron Tomhave

    Aaron Tomhave

    Both the birds and the NEF/NX2 info… I guess I didn’t notice you’re hat. I was too busy looking at the reflection. Did you submit this to the “light and reflection” gallery? Might be worth a look.

  • Wendi Donaldson

    Wendi Donaldson

    Ah HA! ...you got him back!!!! .....well done! Great shot, Garth.

  • Garth Smith replied

    Yes Wendi, a bit of fun and we both got a pretty good “photographer shot”.

    Title and vastness has me grinning. Saw this in avatar challenge and had to stop by to thank you for the humour (oh yeah, and the beauty).

  • Garth Smith replied

    Thank you Jan, sorry i missed your comments til now, I must have been asleep at the wheel.

  • Jan Timmons

    Jan Timmons

    NEF/raw and NX2 are great. It’s all about the initial location, location, time, and composition. And photographer, of course. Preferably one with a bit o’ humour.

  • Stuart Thorpe

    Stuart Thorpe

    Truly fabulous scenery and wonderful shot…..I think David kinda adds to it, but figures in the landscape are a matter of feeling, taste, statement etc. No,without him it would lose something for me I reckon.

  • Garth Smith replied

    Thank you Stuart, I am like you I think. I prefer a landscape uncluttered but sometimes a figure just adds the perspactive needed.

  • Ruth Durose

    Brilliant, Garth. The reflections are stunning, the comp perfect. The addition of the photographer brilliant. Is that David?:)

  • Garth Smith replied

    Thank you Ann very much.

  • Ann Van Breemen

    Ann Van Breemen

    Just answered my own question. Of course it’s David. I really should read the titles properly shouldn’t I? I’m like that with instruction manuals too, which is why nothing ever works properly for me the first time. (haha).:)

  • Garth Smith replied

    That’s OK Ann, I was also raised on the premise “When All Else Fails – Read The Instructions”
