Typical Tassie countryside.
I was rather lucky with this shot. As you can see, it was a very cloudy day. In fact it poured soon after.
As i was about to take the shot, the sun managed to peek out which allowed for a faster shutter speed and smaller sperture, thus underexposing the sky a little giving the clouds a more dramatic look. All in all, the transient ray of light gave the picture more contrast.
The image below was taken soon after the sun disappeared. It has a more atmospheric, ‘early morning’ look to it and lacks total contrast.
Which is better? I’ll leave it up to you. I think both has its place.
Personally, i have a slight preference for the 2nd picture.
Somehow the low contrast and muted colors gives me a sense of ease.
Look how the rows of tree are nicely lined in the distant. Makes the place look kinda neat.
Would be great if i can capture this from a bird’s eye view. One of these days……………

Ross Bridge
This well-known sandstone bridge located in Ross, Tasmania, was constructed by convict labour in 1836, and is the third oldest bridge still in use in Australia.
Image was taken a few weeks ago when Tasmania was experiencing one of it’s wettest month. The Macquarie river was so engorged!!
It was raining (no surprises) on that particular day and so i had to use my notebook to shield my camera from the rain (as you can see on the top part of the picture)
Westbury, Tasmania.
