Taggerty River
The headwaters of the Taggerty River starts in Melbourne’s closest ski resort, Lake Mountain. The closest town to Lake Mountain is called Marysville which is blessed with many nearby waterfalls, one of the most popular is the Taggerty River which has a circuit walk near it named after the Beeches which line part of the walk. I’m always amazed at the tenacity of life, how that fern can grow on that soiless rock in the middle of a river ??? amazing.
I was up there a few weeks ago and got my slides back yesterday. I’ve been very impressed with my new 24-70mm f/2.8L lens, very fast and sharp but the surprise for me has been far more accurate colour. With my old lens (the mid range 24-80mm) the colour tended to shift to blue far more with these long exposures.

Very beautiful Travis – love the stillness of the fern agains the water blur – my ferns always seem to blow about with the turbulence and make the shots look crap. This is a beauty.

Travis Easton replied
Good to compare it on a system I’m used too before I get my 5DII (hopefully this week). When it was all I had my old lens seemed fine but now I’ve got a good one I don’t know how I put up with it, thanks Tone.
