Charlotte Pass Blue Lake Walk

These images were made during the thaw last October. I have used many layers of curves adjustments and colour adjustments to try to develop a layered approach to composition.

Nice patterns, leaves the eyes searching for more, which lead me to the golden reflection, near the foreground, in the second image.

thanks John,

I wondered if that would worry people.

Very nice pictures, isn't it a bit early to have snow down under?

These were taken last year in September - August but there might still be a little bit left around in the Alps. We have had crazy weather down here.

I prefer the first one - are you sure it is Australia? As much as I like taking photographs in Australia I would head to the South Is if I wanted this sort of shot.

Well done and I guess your GPS would have given you some idea of where you were.

Yes but I can't drive to the South Island, I do venture out without a GPS so long as I can see a sign.

Thanks. The first one is the reason I went down there and I was dissapointed at my efforts so it has taken me 6 months to mount a rescue mission on the shots.

Nope, it can snow at any time of year in the high country.

Nice pic. I think that was when we were having 47 degrees on the coast.
Many brown snakes around?

I've never seen a snake up there, I'm sure they are around though.

Somewhere between the two is about right I think. I'm most comfortable in the mid 30s.
