Calendar Submission
I've been busy lately!
About a month ago I approached the printers of the Tasmanian Alkaloids calendar about getting some of my images into next years calendar. I was told I had a good chance of this. At the time I had my Photography Anthology book as my portfolio, this got me a foot in the door. They asked me to put some photos together for consideration and thats what I've been doing this last week.
After my trip down the east coast I had some very good landscapes but, I still had plenty of images from the trip that I hadn't processed. I knew some of them would be good chances of making the calendar so, I went through and processed a select few.
For my presentation I put another book together with only Tasmanian Landscapes in it.
Many of the images in the book have been seen on my blog before or are on my site. Some are still sitting on my computer waiting for me to upload to my site at a later date. They cover a wide area of Tasmania. Strahan, St Helens, Freycinet, Tasman Peninsula, Port Arthur, Richmond Bridge, Russell Falls and Mt Roland. I hope that I will be successful in getting some images in their calendar.

Russell Falls
My trip to the Mt Field National park was very enjoyable. I met up with another photographer from the Photo forum, Tim. We had some fun taking shots and shared the gruelling task of a long day of walking.
It was a beautiful spring day and the Waterfalls were spectacular. I never realised how big the Russell Falls actually were until I witnessed them up close. The flow of water was down a little but there was still plenty to admire, especially on the top portion of the falls.
It's a gentle walk to the bottom of the Russell Falls from the visitors centre. The track then kicks up step to the top where the track continues to the Horse Shoe Falls. The sun was too harsh to get a good shot of the Horse Shoe Falls.
The Lady Barron Falls can be reached from here by following a long track. The reduced flow of water and harsh sunlight made these falls hard to photograph, but well worth the effort to see. The walk back to the Visitors centre was flat along side the river until the track suddenly stopped and headed up a huge set of stairs. Thankfully the builders provided some seats at different levels of the climb. It was a long way to the top!
Russell Falls - from the observation deck.
Russell Falls - from higher up the track in Infrared. (Well worth the walk!)
More images from the Mt Field area and the Russell Falls can be found here.
I've also been hooked by HDR (High Dynamic Range) over the weekend. (Thanks Jen!) I have been playing around with a program called Photomatix. This is one of the many creations I've come up with so far.
