Life and Death

As I was leaving Lake Windamere after our morning sunrise session I stopped alongside the road out that snaked along the Cudgegong River to fly the drone and photograph from the air

Two more images from the morning session which I’ve done two different monochrome conversions on

Many areas of the lake had very large clusters of trees. This make for quite busy scenes and it was difficult to have more isolated and simple compositions

I spent a bit of time trying to get the composition below to work. Shifting around on the shoreline to try and have no merges with the trees. (no parts where the branches of the different trees overlapped)

Symbols

NIKON Z 7 + NIKKOR Z 24-200mm f/4-6.3 VR @ 72 mm, 8 sec at f/9, ISO 64

Horned

NIKON Z 7 + NIKKOR Z 24-200mm f/4-6.3 VR @ 49 mm, 13 sec at f/11, ISO 64

These are probably my favourite (land based) images of the morning on Lake Windamere. Particularly the image below which I feel has a particularly comforting composition

This is what Lake Windamere looks like from the skies above. A 180˚ stitched panorama from 21 frames (three rows of seven frames) taken with the DJI Mavic 2 Pro at the end of our morning session there
