And yep this is a 5image stitch from the 5D mkII. Tom - I agree...give me heat anyday...but if the opportunity to experience events such is there then I am in !

Great images.. would dcertainly like the cooler temperatures back though. Looks like the calm before the pending storm, either a dark heavy downpour or smoke clouds and fire storm.

Those snow gums in Victoria are just drop dead gorgeous. The trick with snow is overexpose about 1 to 1.5 stops as the snow fools the light meters, they're always looking for 18% grey so all that white throws off the average. This is a 5d Mk II stitch?

I think part of the 'secret' is not to underexpose snow type shots - this leaves the snow not truly white...Hopefully you get to the snow next season. Thanks Beau !

Doesn't look like it would have been an easy task to expose this one, but looks like you have done it well! I'm still yet to see snow in real life. It's something I can't wait to do!
