Kind of really busy lately. This was a capture from a creek side that had the special look to it.

Creek with silky flow
From the recent post on over use of neutral density filters, this was another example of over use of 3 filters here. Funnily, the overuse of filters does contribute to severe vignetting. The correction of that rendered the photo a little unreal. Still, this image somewhat gave that air of inspiration and energy!!
The shot taken at Mt Baw Baw a while back. It was very dark, broodingly wet when I visited a random creek in the region. A shot out of curiosity turned out not so bad when I viewed some time later!
Taken by Pentax Da* 16-50mm f2.8 -> The zoom with dodgy reputation for hunting autofocus and bad quality control from Vietnam!

Lady Talbot Drive
Prior to the major bush fire at Marysville Victoria, Lady Talbot drive used to be a photography safe heaven for me. The place was quiet, ambient and peaceful except some annoying mosquito at times.
Of course, the creek was no longer there. The place had been turned into an arid rugged landscape with some left over burnt tree trunks.
Now I realised how precious these photographs meant to me ...
They were all shot with stacking of neutral density filters with Pentax k20d. Funny how people criticised this camera so much but I still could get many photographs done with reasonable quality.
I still recalled how my fellow photographer pals call me a bad dud to ruin the natural beauty by over use of neutral density filters. But this is a record of how experimental I was at the time :)
Typical Australian landscape lighting condition: Terrible green with non reflecting surface of ferns. The high contrast background, awkward orientation of sunlight and the abundance of UV :(
