THE DAY TRIP PTII

After photographing a beautiful morning’s sunrise and some macros, we headed off to the abandoned house.

I was pretty excited by this thought as there is a lot of opportunity to capture texture in the old wood and the clouds were coming over so again, some dramatic skies will be included along with nice soft light.

Whilst wondering around taking photos, I noticed a lot of fresh cow pats on the ground and wondered where the heck the cows were.

It wasn’t long till they started wondering down the hill to come and check out what we were doing.

The Cow

They weren’t really interested in us and what we were doing – but I did start to wonder where they get their water from. The next thing I knew, the cows came wondering past us and heading towards the direction of the gate. It wasn’t until that point that I noticed the water ‘container’.

From here we went into separate groups and the group I was with went exploring where we found more wonderful paddocks of  Sunflowers and some wonderful old train Stations.  I’ll continue on with Part III soon.

THE DAY TRIP

The alarm went off at 1am – and I was excited!

There was a big day planned photography wise and I was looking forward to what may come.

I left at 2am and arrived at my destination at just after 4am.

What a wonderful sunrise to greet not only myself but a few other photog’s who all gathered together for the meetup.

Sunrise

After taking photos of the sun rising, I couldn’t help myself and I had to take some macros.

Busy as a Bee Fly Ladybeetle Green Ant

Thankfully the bees were too busy to get to the nectar to worry about a photographer and there were millions of flies so I had to take a macro of one.  Sprinkled in between the files and bees were lady beetles and green ants.

Whilst in the paddock I also took some flower shots which are a little different to the norm.

From here, the group went to an abandoned house. In the next post I’ll continue on with the journey.
