AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes

AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes
I love a sunburnt country / A land of sweeping plains / Of ragged mountain ranges / Of droughts and flooding rains / I love her far horizons / I love her jewel-sea / Her beauty and her terror / The wide brown land for me / ~ Dorothea Mackellar (1885-1968)

Wow, Love this! I'm dying for a macro lens and won one on ebay but when I got it, the auto focus wuldn't work on my camera. I found out I need an AF-S not an AF. So, I'll keep looking.

love LOVE love this photo! You have no idea how many times I've tried taking a picture of a web like this but I keep failing, they don't come out this nice. Anyway, thank you very much for sharing your thoughts about taking photos of strangers. And about coal dust, to be honest I don't know if it is a health risk or not. Have a great day :)

This is a wonderful web shot, Gemma. I take photos of webs whenever I can, but none have come out as well as yours. Well done!

Good one Gemma. The low angle lighting did the trick nicely. BTW, I tried to get to your blog Friday but it wouldn't load.
