Diamond in the sky!
Late afternoon, Lyrup flats between Renmark and Berri in the Riverland of South Australia.
Afternoon shots whilst waiting for the sun to go down for a night time shoot. The clouds moved apart and left this diamond like section reflecting nicely on the still backwaters.
Again a visit to one of my favourite places where these huge River gums stand defiant against nature, dead but not finished…....
Canon 400D 18-55 lens, CIR Polarising filter.
Three shot panoramic stitch in CS3 and converted to B&W in the same program.
