Big Sky

Shot from Kangaroo Point, next to the river at the base of the cliffs.

The Captain Cook bridge is in the mid-ground.

Needless to say, this would have been even more impressive with a 10-20mm lens.

    Thanks Jill :) But you'll agree it'd be even better with an ultra-wide angle lens eh ?

    But did it rain! No, it was grey all day, but not a drop. Very disappointed.

    Nice one David. This is very dramatic.

    Wide is good, and I have to say that I opted that way over a telephoto.

    I like this one - grey brooding sky - nice!
    May I suggest cropping those two bits of tree off the left-hand side? ;-)

    It must have rained out here last night since the car was wet this morning, but yes, not a drop today. Apparently the forecast (last time I looked) was for increasing showers tonight and rain tomorrow... I'll believe it when I see it.

    I could crop out the greenery, or I could photoshop it out, but I'm feeling lazy, so probably neither will happen. :P

    Lovely shot. I love the sky. I like the idea of the crop. A really wide angle lens....even better

    You did good with your kit David, but yes, this makes the case for a wider lens : ))

    Thanks Alexandra :)

    See Honey, everyone agrees and ultra-wide lens would be beneficial :)

    Bah! I don't see any cost-benefit analysis, just a whole bunch of 'Ooh! Pretty!' Where's your business case? Convince me how its going to benefit us beyond 'but I want one'!
    :-P

    Ah, it's all about Art (see with a capitol A), as opposed to some silly notion of capitalist economic theory. :-P~~~

    ......as storm clouds gather on high

    beaut shot!
  • leadegroot said:
    Ah, you do all the Art you want, darlin'. Its very pleasant to look at.
    Just don't expect anyone to divert 'mortgage tagged money' or 'grocery tagged money' for it
    :-P
