Old fence
Cunningham's Gap (near the Helipad).
An excellent day of 4wd'ing, socialising and photography was had yesterday with a bunch of people from AP and flickr.
Our first photographic stop was on the side of the approach to Cunningham's Gap. This is a fantastic spot and changes with weather and time-of-day.
I have a bit of a penchant for old fences and thus couldn't pass this one up.

Classic country-style landscape. Nicely done.
As for your penchant for old fences, I cannot recall having ever seen an image of an old fence from you. :-)
That is a beauty!! Really nice work David!
Beautifully shot David, nice use of dof. It was a pleasure to meet you and your family yesterday.
Love it David! Captured it perfectly.
very nice Dave, love it actually. - gorgeous light & detail.
Oh to have such talent , one day maybe ...
(I have seen fence posts posted on your stream before lol)
[http://www.flickr.com/photos/xenedis] Might be a few in my stream.
[http://www.flickr.com/photos/philrettke] Thanks Phil. Light was just right and a good backdrop. Completely straight out of the camera, didn't do anything to it beyond a RAW conversion in LR.
[http://www.flickr.com/photos/davidvalentine] Thanks Dave. 'twas an excellent day out. :)
[http://www.flickr.com/photos/bradchiplin] Thanks Brad. Sometimes it's the simple things that appeal.
[http://www.flickr.com/photos/kathrine-carter] You're well on the road Kath, don't sell yourself short. :)
Did you count all the red shipping containers up there? Crazy!!
Lovely DOF.
[http://www.flickr.com/photos/aramisfirefly] Yeah that's a lot of roadside protection! See the waterfall behind them ?
[http://www.flickr.com/photos/hojucandy] Thanks Greg, just enough to isolate, but not too thin to lose the background.
lovely scenery behind rusting old fence, I can definitely remember photos like this in your stream, I sort of like photos like this myself
Love these old fences myself, great job on this one David.
It's very nice. Give me some inspiration next time
Wonderful Capture!!
...very nice shot !!!
I like it, I've shot there myself but this is different and well executed
Indeed, there's something charming about old fences :-) Great shot!
[http://www.flickr.com/photos/33085391@N00] There's something about an old fence isn't there. I guess it shows that Man has been there, and been there a while, but also shows that in the grand scheme of things, these feeble attempts by Man to segment off nature are far from permanent. Or I could just be ready far too much into an old post ;-)
[http://www.flickr.com/photos/wombat44] Thanks :) Pays to look around when you're at a spot with an obvious composition.
[http://www.flickr.com/photos/simple_monkey] Yep, always check what else is around before you wander back to the car. I spied a good collection of spiders too, but didn't have the right lens with me for that.

[http://www.flickr.com/photos/brisbanerocks] I'd been meaning to stop here several times and never have. Was glad I did this time.
[http://www.flickr.com/photos/cobra_11] Indeed there is :)
Excellently composed!
beautifully done
Great work David
lovely vista, and technically excellent. well done
oh yes I know this spot. looks like Mt. Castle up there. I enjoy that DOF as it makes the fence the focal point. nice detail on that post.

[http://www.flickr.com/photos/allan_nielsen] Thanks Allan, 'tis a nice spot up there, glad I didn't notice the spiders on the walk in ;-)
[http://www.flickr.com/photos/annsam] Thanks. Yes it might be Mt Castle. I don't know that part of the range too well. It's looking northish from the eastern approach to Cunningham's Gap.
Don't fence me in...
It's really beautiful.

Stunning shot David, I love the leading line of the fence and the blur of the mountains. I didn't actually walk over to get a shot, but this is the shot that I envisioned. Love it, I didn't think the blur would work on a landscape but it is superb. I cannot believe there is so much blur at f/7, is this because of the full frame? I don't seem to get this much on a cropped sensor. Top shot

[http://www.flickr.com/photos/chris44free] Thanks!
[http://www.flickr.com/photos/samuelsharpe] Partly full frame but even then really it's just physics. The subject is relatively close (compared to the background) and the focal length long, thus the background is blurred.
