The Curtain

As I mentioned in yesterday's post I had a plan to get back down to Moorabool Falls as I had a particular image in mind that I wanted to capture. On my many visits here I've often though it would be nice to get in really close to the side of the falls, in fact even behind them as there appears to be a bit of a ledge that might make that possible. So on Thursday that was the plan. The first image here, that I actually took as I was leaving (and had survived my precarious scrambling!) shows the overall lay of the land. The second image is as I was getting in close right alongside the falls. Then hopping down a 6 foot ledge I gingerly made my way around to the falls and in behind the left hand side to capture some unique viewpoints. As you can see the water flow is still very good, in fact its almost the perfect volume for these images....any heavier and it would be almost impossible to get this close, especially without a raincoat!).
Mmmmm...this has got me thinking...what's next?!

Getting Sidetracked

On Wednesday afternoon I had a plan to head down to Moorabool Falls for a particular image I have in mind, mindful of the fact the water there may run dry at anytime. However, as I left home the rain started to fall and by the time I got over to the base of Mt Warrenheip I was being bathed in breaks of sunlight that were forming rainbows, so I chased the first one here til I found a nice location. Very soon after that the clouds moved in and I decided to head over to Mt Buninyong, where I caught the second image here. Heading back to town I decided one last swing by Mt Warrenheip might be worthwhile, and the back road I took lead me straight to this great pyrethrum field....and just playing around a bit with the last one here.
Maybe I'll make it to Moorabool Falls for that shot I have in mind on Thursday....?

Tuesday's Travels

I was out on Tuesday evening wandering around the Dunnstown/Yendon area looking for subjects that would make the best use of the bright sunshine which was turning more yellow as it sunk towards the horizon. A couple of spots caught my eye....fist just near the base of Mt warrenheip, and then a bit further down the road towards Yendon, this lone tree often catches my eye when I drive past.

Stormy Start to the Week

On Monday morning there were a few rumbles of thunder around 7.15am so I headed out for a look up at Lake Wendouree. No real lightning to see though there were some fantastic skies that were moving through quite quickly. We did get some pretty rain throughout the day which will be a great help to keep things looking fresh and vibrant for a while.

Lake Burrumbeet Bounty

Here's a few more from the great evening out at Lake Burrumbeet last Friday. It really was a spectacular evening with so much to capture.

Two Finales

The finale for the Rosanna Camera Club's weekend was the sunrise at Lake Wendouree, which saw us all lined up around 5.45am. We were treated to a spectacular sunrise and then some fantastic sundays that went on for quite a long time, giving everyone the opportunity to get some great images to take home.
Later in the day it turned quite grey and I was happy with the whole weekend...and then just right on sunset the sun snuck under the clouds to put on a very colourful end to the weekend.

A Big Day Out

On Saturday the members from the visiting Rosanna Camera Club and I covered a lot of territory. Starting on the top of Mt Bunyong around 5.45am and then ending on the shores of Lake Wendouree around 8.15pm. This is the start and the end, though I have a lot more to show from our travels throughout an awesome day.
