windy fields…
A cold winter’s evening in the Southern Flinders ranges gave way to this particular image. A location that I had scouted and wanted to shoot on previous trips finally afforded me the light and opportunity this particularly cold windy evening. Rugged up with merino wool, beanies and scarves I stuck it out whilst cursing myself forgetting my gloves. Persistence paid off and long after the sun had set I shot this image with my frozen fingers barely operating the shutter and tripod.

Sweet Tone!
I love those 3D clouds. We get them over here a bit and i go hunting for them. I scored a day at Rotto with Flemming Bo Jensen with just those sort of clouds which was way cool!
I too forgot my gloves when we were in the Old Growth rain forests in Tassy and fingers were frozen on the way out…nothing worse I reckon!
Nice image mate!
hey Mark,
Yeah they can go some nice colours as well which is a bonus. Yeah I think I got to the point where my teeth were chattering by the time I got back to my car – lol
I’ll look at digging something up from Hotham in the coming days too !
cheers 🙂
The mission has been accepted…this tape destructs in 5 seconds!
haha – there may very well be a couple more arid-deserty type shots go up first that’s all 😉 (hotham stuff is downstairs on another HD)
Beaut sky Tone, very nice clouds, nice landscape.
hey Tom,
Glad you like it mate, I agree with you on the sky – I love those types of hues.
cheers,
Yup! That is brilliant. Lovely light, classic wind mill and composition and brilliant clouds. A winner. Horizon perhaps a tad too centered.
I agree on freezing fingers, it’s nearly impossible to do anything with deep frozen fingers. Which is why my philosophy always will be “never venture too far from the tropics”.
haha Flem – I agree, it’s a pity that higher latitudes can offer equally beautiful and possibly more varied landscapes… but yeah… warmth 🙂
Some fantastic recent posts on your blog as well (whilst I was away) to which I have not had a chance to comment on as of yet. A great read as always !
cheers,
Thanks, look forward to your comments 🙂 Yeah we have to suffer for our art, because the higher lattitudes do offer some amazing scapes. I really want to go to Patagonia!
Nice one Tony … like it a lot.
Is it a stitch ?
cheers Merv-man – yep this one’s a stitch from the 5DII.
Wicked Tony. Its just so………….. Aussie! I love windmill shots.
hey Jamie – yeah I like them also..I’ve got a few more from this trip to sort out at some point.
cheers,
Nice work mate. Got a windmill shot from that area that I haven’t processed yet. Better get to it after seeing this.
Cheers Andrew – I look fwd to seeing what you shot… funny if it was the same one !
I’m happy with the header image too, I have a sequence of him but that frame is my fav.
cool header image btw
Looks like a hard bit of country Tony, The Tones in this photo are really nice.
Worth the wait and hardship I’d say.
hey Hodgy – yeah the country around there is hard by my standards but nothing in comparison to what you see as you push further north… Seriously I don’t know why they bother up there… what is it they can run? 3 ants per 100acres ? hahaa
Like it Tony, Clouds look like a dinosaur marching across the landscape!
Hey Tim,
A great analogy mate ! I wish it was a dinosaur 🙂
