A quiet corner late on a winter afternoon at the top of Turret Falls in the Grampians in Victoria.
For some reason, I'm rather suddenly drawn to monochrome. This simple scene seemed particularly suited to a monochrome rendition on account of the graphic shapes, and removing colour adds to the abstraction.
I really enjoy creating something different with drones. I've had the Mavic now for about four weeks and I absolutely love it.
Client came and needed headshots immediately. Set up a single Broncolor Para 133 in the dining room. Delivered 20 pics. Setup, Shoot, Edit and delivered within 30 minutes.

Oooh, very nice. Love the tones.
Thanks, Chris. I value your opinion. :-)
I really like this Chris, it's a real attention grabber.
That said it feels slightly off on the bottom for my liking (white line leading me out of the frame?). A slight crop works better for my own taste, but in any case, it's a wonderful image.
Thanks, Alan.You make a good point point about the composition. I hate cropping, so almost always try for the best composition possible in the 2:3 aspect ratio which is a bit too elongated. However, it's good for some images, and I like the challenge it can present. I could well be accused of pointless stubbornness, I realise!
I thought that when the major camera makers went "full-frame" with digital, they missed an opportunity: they ought have maximised the image area possible with the image circle of the existing lenses, but using the √2:1 (≈1.41:1) aspect ratio of the A paper series (A4, A2 etc). With digital, the rectangle proportions are totally arbitrary. The Micro Four Thirds digital system, for one, is a good idea. There has been a rather slavish devotion to the 35mm aspect ratio by small-sensor makers. After all, it was only created by Leica to squeeze in the biggest reasonably-possible image on 35mm film by running it the "wrong" way through the camera. A pragmatic choice. hardly a purist one.
Some of my long Nikon teles have a gate to block out extraneous light besides the film gate in the camera. This would have admittedly been be a problem.
