At this time of the year the valleys and hillsides are lush green. Vineyards feature widely throughout the region alongside of pastures where cattle happily grazed under the warm sunshine.

INTRODUCTION

The last day of September on a beautiful spring day, hubby and I decided to take a drive through the Yarra Glen Region, Victoria – Australia for our next landscape photography adventure. At this time of the year, the valleys and hillsides are lush green and unlike during summer time where they will turn golden brown due to the hot dry weather conditions.  Vineyards feature widely throughout the region standing alongside of pastures where we found cattle happily grazing under the warm spring sunshine.  While we were there, dark ominous clouds progressively gathered up along the far distant mountain ranges as the day drifted towards its end.  We also discovered less travelled local roads where we found impressive panoramic views that had us gazing in awe at nature’s beauty!

PHOTOGRAPHY EQUIPMENT USED

During this landscape photography exercise – I used a compact system camera, a Sony A7 Mark II – Full Frame with a Sony A FE24-240mm F3.5-6.3 OSS Lens. For these photographs I used the camera mounted on a tripod.  I also used my Apple iPhone 8 Plus mobile phone for quick spontaneous photographs and gain GPS location readings.
