INTRODUCTION

The aim of this travel and photography adventure was to visit my husband’s brother and his family for a couple of days on their small farm in Bruthen.  During our journey back home to Melbourne, I managed to capture some landscape scenes around the region where the ‘Bundara and Mitta Mitta Rivers’ met near Omeo, Victoria – Australia. It was a lovely spot to stop.  The family fished while I took photographs and enjoyed the wonders of our Australian bush!

 

 

The above photograph is of my daughter standing in front of a dead gum tree trunk that had once been ravaged by bush fires.  It is a stark contrast when compared with the surrounding bush which has been able to regenerate after such a devastating fiery event.  The below photograph is the same image, but this time I decided to make it a black and white photograph which is inclusive of the entire tree trunk – effective I feel.

 

 

 

 

PHOTOGRAPHY EQUIPMENT USED

During this landscape photography  exercise – I used my new compact system camera a Sony A7 Mark II – Full Frame with a Sony A FE24-240mm F3.5-6.3 OSS Lense. For some of the shots I used the camera hand-held, and for others, I used the camera mounted on a tripod with a remote timer.  I am still getting use to understanding the abilities of my new camera and lense, but it was such a pleasure though to use, and good for someone like myself trying to learn to be a better photographer!  I also used my Samsung Galaxy S6 mobile phone for quick spontaneous photographs and gain GPS location readings.

THE PHOTOGRAPHS

On my return home, I downloaded all the photographs into Adobe Lightroom 6.  I developed a small selection of photographs During the process of developing them I was able to see what I needed to address during my next photographic adventure.   Please find both above and below the best of what I took during this visit to Mitta Mitta River, Omeo, Victoria – Australia.
