Backwater Sunrise

Steve Chapple

Backwater Sunrise

Early morning three shot panorama – Noora Basin, between Berri and Renmark in the Riverland of South Australia.

This backwater is an evaporation basin off of the River Murray. The main river itself looks nothing like this and still holds plenty of water to make a visit to the region well worth while.

Nothing better – 6.30 am, first hint of sun, great clouds, colours and magnificent dead redgum trees standing silent. Who could want for more!!!!!!!!

Canon 400D – 18 -55 lens, CIR polarising filter coupled with ND4. Tripod mounted three shot pano stitched in photoshop CS3.

    Steve, I’m a major fan of your work and I’ve been behind in seeing work on redbubble but everytime I see your work, I have the same reaction to each shot:
    “AMAZING!”
    So I’m just going to copy and paste this comment on everything that I’ve missed. You are in a league of masters on here!
