A really enjoyable read James. I am so admiring of the amount of time and effort you put into exploring and getting to know the terrain you photograph and this shows in the images you make. You say they aren't portfolio shots but I think they are stunning and I particularly like the soft subtle tones that you are able to produce. Great work. 🙂
Thank you Gill - it is hard work exploring off-track but it is incredibly rewarding to get to connect with an area. In the right conditions, there are some great images to be made here - looking forward to winter!
I really enjoyed reading about your approach to exploration. Are you tracking your location with GPS while you're out? I use GAIA on my phone for mapping and it tracks my position even without cell signal or with the phone in airplane mode to save battery.
These waterfall photos are very interesting to me, but I especially like the photo of the path in the eucalyptus forest!
Thanks Erik. I use the AllTrails to download maps onto my phone, which I use on daytrips (and airplane mode to save batteries). But I tend not to use GPS on my phone on multi-day trips due to limits on power (unless I have tricky navigating or I am returning in the dark and cannot afford to not find my camp!)
