Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Thanks to Stubbsy for letting me play with the ultimate lens, which was used for the following ;)

This is a place we have to revisit next year during the wildflower season. We were going to go earlier this year, but things worked against us for timing. From the few examples of flowers we did see, it will be well worth the effort :)

A great bunch of shots. Still can't believe I managed to conquer my fears and climb down those cliffs. The wildflower shots shit all over what I took which disproves the adage that it's the photographer, not the lens that matters :twisted:

Craig - it's the 70-200VR

I was really impressed that you managed to make it down with the rest of the troop :shock:

Those wildflowers are pretty amazing. Who would have thought the 70-200Vr would make a good macro lens :wink:

Well done.

So mark next September in your calendars for the wildflower tour of Awabakal :wink: :wink: The wildflowers are amazing at that time of year and sunrise is later then as well :twisted:

Cheers,

The issue of this workshop is too early in the morning for the sunrise, perhaps only suitable for the locale or unless a on longer trip with extended 2 or 3 days, or overnight in the local areas.
It will take me nearly 1.1/2 hour to drive from my DRP or 20-30 min. from Newcastle, where Stubssy is, and at 4:00am.
