light and mass

I guess it's what photography is about - the moment when light and mass collide...

Sunrise


Sunrise over the Tink Valley in Tasmania's Southwest.

Panasonic GH2 and Olympus m.ZD 40-150 MSC.

Sunset


Sunset over the Mt Barrow comm-station, North-east Tasmania.

Panasonic GH2 and SMC Pentax M50/f1.4 - I took this before I had my tripod set up, so the exposure was less than ideal: 1/40" @ f4 and 1600iso.

Floods and stars


Tamar River basin in flood.

GH2 and 20/f1.7 ASPH @ 20" and f6.3

Slow...


Long exposure in Pine Valley, Tasmania.

GH2 and 7-14/f4 ASPH - it's for shots like these that the lack of a filter thread on the 7-14 is frustrating; to get movement in the water the lens had to be stopped down to f13, which is borderline diffraction territory on m43... Still, the UWA continues to amaze, especially as a tripod weapon.

Cold!


Pine Tarn in the Central Plateau Conservation Area - Tasmania.

GH2 and the increasingly delightful 14/f2.5 ASPH

Stars


And unexpected talent of the already multi-talented Nokton 25mm - when stopped down to about f5.6, it produces gorgeously defined 10-point starbursts.
