Eucalyptus Island - a photo on Flickriver

Eucalyptus Island

Here is another Vertorama from Tuesday afternoon's photo-shoot with Jo-Ann.

As soon as we arrived at the quarry dam I noticed these two huge blue-gum trees perched on this tiny island... but finding a good composition proved more than a little tricky.

The area directly behind me and to my left was a mass of impenetrable reeds growing right into the water... and the area to my right was very steep and uneven ground with rocks, logs and holes... all hidden by the lush thigh-high weeds and grass! I nearly slipped into the dam twice while clambering around trying to find the sweet-spot!! :)

It took me just under three hours of processing to get this photograph to look the way that I remember seeing it at the time.

Nikon D300, Sigma 10-20mm at 14mm, aperture of f10, with a 1/800th second exposure.
