Yes, More Canola!

This field north of Creswick has some of the best patterns in it and now that I can get up above the landscape, the options are endless. A lot of the canola north of Creswick is nearing its peak, so with a bit of sunshine around I knew where I had to go. And a ground level image with some nice clouds finished off a nice evening.

Last Light at Lake Burrumbeet

I waited around at Lake Burrumbeet on Wednesday evening for the chance of some nice sunset colour. I grabbed a couple of bird images as I waited for the sun to sink, hopefully, into the gap on the horizon. However, the closer it got to sunset the more the clouds moved across to block out the sun's last few minutes for the day.......

Side By Side

Still chasing the perfect canola field....this field was out near Mt Warrenheip and the rolling nature of it allowed some nice compositions with the contrasting red soil in the paddock next door. And an unusual viewpoint in the second one here with a wall of canola seeming to rise up behind the fence. I'll keep looking for that perfect shot!

The Hills of Mollongghip

On Monday afternoon I ventured out north east of Ballarat to see what awaited me out amongst the hills around Mollongghip. They usually have canola fields by now, though there were not to many to be seen, only away in the distance. However, I did get some great images with the fast moving clouds, firstly stopping at Clarkes Hill for that classic view across to the Waubra Wind Farm. Then onto to a high point above Dean Reservoir that gives you spectacular westerly views from one of the highest points thats easily accessible.
Gotta say it was pretty cold, too!

West Side Wonder

A continuation of the earlier post from Sunday's visit out to the west side of Lake Burrumbeet. Everything is so vibrant at the moment and when you get that early morning sun across the landscape, the light creates something very special, especially the second one here!

West Side Sunrise

On Sunday morning I was up nice and early for a trip out to the west side of Lake Burrumbeet for sunrise. Though there weren't too many clouds around, this location always gives me plenty of opportunity with the great subject matter. The view from up high in the north west corner of the lake is always worth a quick stop before I head further down the west side of the lake to what has become a favourite spot for sunrise. 
And I haven't even got to the aerials from here yet....thats to come!
