INTRODUCTION

During our car drive back home after visiting my hubby’s brother’s place in Bruthen, Victoria – Australia, we decided to take the long drive back to Melbourne via Tarra Valley Road – Tarra Valley, Victoria – Australia.  Further along and past Tarra Valley we came across Mount Tassie lookout situated on Callignee S Road where we viewed expansive panoramic views of Mount Tassie State Forest and surrounding region. The views were spectacular – white and yellow wildflowers dotted the green grassy foreground with deep green tree covered mountains in the background, topped with a beautiful blue sky.  It was a perfect day to be at this location and the last leg of our photography adventure for the day!

 

 

 

 

PHOTOGRAPHY EQUIPMENT USED

During this 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 and my new (bird) lens, a Sigma150-600mm F5-6.3 DGOS HSM with a Sigma Mount Converter MC-11. I handheld the camera or mounted it on a Wimberley WH-200 Gimbal Tripod Head II with quick release base. I also used my Apple iPhone 8 Plus 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 Classic CC.  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 photography adventure!

 

 

 

 

CONCLUSION

Being out-and-about experiencing the natural wonders of the world and the creatures it inhabits – really does rejuvenate the body and soul.  Photography is just another way to improve one’s sense of wellbeing and at the same time – be creative!

Happy photography all – © Karen Robinson – February 2019

 Comments: Yarra Glen Region, Victoria – Australia September 2018. The last day in September, a beautiful spring day, hubby and I decided to take a drive through the Yarra Glen Region. 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. Grey clouds gathered up along the mountains ranges as the day drifted towards its end. A beautiful spring day we so much enjoyed – a good to be alive day!

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!
