Minnamurra ~ No 1
Proceeds from sales of this image go to the Red Cross Victorian Bushfire Appeal – donations in turned matched by Redbubble
A brief stop on the way to Minnamurra Falls in the Budderoo National Park (about 15 mks inland from Kiama on the South Coast of NSW – Australia) yielded this very unusual scene – with cool rain and mist following on from the 40 degree days previously, it was almost like being suddenly transported to England!

RD, I hope you brought the dry stone wall home… love those. :)
Rosalie Dale IPA replied
At least in the Kangaroo Valley area there are a few of these Max – not our normal fence!!!

Rosalie I am Breathless, I dont know if this has a TS effect or its just your DOF control but this piece has blown me away . I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!
Rosalie Dale IPA replied
This was a bit of a struggle Dan – firstly it was heavy rainy mist so the camera and lens were constantly spotted, secondly it was quite low light and I didn’t want to lower the shutter speed too much as it was hand held – so all in all I’m pleased with the way it turned out! 80% of this is real, with a little bit of PS work to isolate the tree and fence a little. Thanks heaps for the favouriting my friend.

John Edwards
A stunning shot Rosalie. It looks like it could have been taken in Warwickshire
Rosalie Dale IPA replied
The area extends south west from here and is known as the Southern Highlands – our little bit of Scotland I guess, which is sorta next door to you – almost!!! Thanks so much for adding this to your favs.
Phil Thomson IPA
Pure Excellence, Rosalie !!! An incredible soft, romantic, dreamy almost surreal atmosphere that could be mistaken for an English countryside or somewhere in Tassie !!!
Rosalie Dale IPA replied
Well I’ll have to go visit Tassie I think – I love these stone walls. Thanks for the favouriting Phil – much appreciated.
Imber

lianne
I’m hating RB at the moment…lol…my long comment just vanished into the nether regions as they are wont to do sometimes. Absolutely love this Rosalie – that wonderful low stone wall in the meadow really does remind one of English countryside and your color and composition here is simply gorgeous. Love the soft focus (I’m sure the mist has something to do with that) and the lushness of the scene too.
Rosalie Dale IPA replied
I can understand – I’m finding doubles of everything in my activity monitor and it is a bit of a pain! Gremlins in their system … !!! Thanks for the wonderful encouragement my friend. You are kind.
Bev Woodman
I love this one Rosalie and especially the soft focus in the background – a very tranquil scene.
Rosalie Dale IPA replied
