Really like the before and after gallery Steve, it's nice to see the development of an image through the full process. You are so right about taking the time to explore and not having expectations of getting an image out of it. I'm a huge advocate of revisiting spots to get a feel and get to know them, so know exactly the feeling you are describing midway through. Great vlog Steve. Happy New Year :)
Thank you my friend, sincerely appreciated 👍 I do love the hunt for fresh compositions but completely agree, revisiting places of interest is a skill we develop like any other. Comparing light, considering compositions.. just magic in a place we become attached to 👌 Very Happy New Year to you too Dave ATB
Some cracking images Steve, had to look up your location on google earth! I reckon I've biked it to my parents at Sutton in Ashfield a few times down there, if it's the one that goes through the desert and Mansfield rugby club. Like the new format by the way👍
Thanks Scott, much appreciated 👍🏻 Yes you got it, Eakring Rd through Sherwood Pines 👌🏻 I ride myself and used to make up a 20-25mi circular route from home. I'd ride to the pines joining the Blue Route on the southern side, up to the car park for a breather then complete the Blue and return home a random way. Pines is a real challenging environment but it is giving up the odd surprise on foot too. Well worth a visit sometime 👍🏻 ATB
Lovely conditions mate, you're a pro at shooting pine forests, I do struggle with those! Really enjoying this style of vlog mate, and the comparison of before and after. Hope the winter is going well there so far mate, Happy New Year ONCE AGAIN haha. Take care!
Thank you my friend.. oh I struggle too, man do I struggle 😉 Sadly lockdown and soaring covid stats are limiting travel again.. weather is very bleak with cold and snow showers (just not enough to give a blanket).. frustrating sums it up right now, but it'll change soon I'm sure. Happy New Year to you too mate... 🎉🤗 All the best.. I'm off into the trees now..
