On the Road to... by Andrew Murrell

About half way between Sydney and Melbourne on the Hume Highway is the town of Gundagai. / It has been imortalised in Asutralia by the Song. There’s a track winding back to an old fashioned shack / Along the road to Gundagai / Where the blue gums are growing, the Murrumbidgee’s flowing / Beneath that sunny sky / Where my Mummy and Daddy are waiting for me / Where the pals of my childhood are waiting for me / So no more will I roam till I’m headed right for home On the road to Gundagai There’s an old fashioned Ford made of rubber, tin and board / Along the road to Gundagai / The radiator’s hissing, and half the engine’s missing / The oil tank’s running dry / There’s water in the petrol and sand in the gears / And it hasn’t seen a garage for more than twenty years / But O lord hear the roar when the pedal hits the floor / Along the road to Gundagai. I had the pleasure of being in Gundagai on the last weekend of October for my Nephew’s wedding. I was the backup photographer and I wanted a good sunrise shot to have as a present for the happy occasion. The Sunrise itself wqas quite dull but the light on the old railway station was wonderful. / This is a 3 image Panoramic and I am glad that it turned out exactly as I had planned. / Taken with a Nikon D300 using the 18-200mm VR Lens set at 45mm at f16.

Simple by Pardus

Taken last weekend in Hawkesbury, Ontario, Canada. Hawkesbury is about halfway between Montreal and Ottawa. We stopped there when driving home from Montreal to take some photos and have dinner. Everyone in the restaurant spoke French, and we found it bizarre to be at home in our own country but not understand what people were saying. I was enthralled with the simplicity of this scene. I tried cropping it, but in the end decided to break the Rule of Thirds and leave my horizon in the centre. Maybe the row of trees on the left hand side compensates by unbalancing it somewhat. Nikon D700 / 14mm / f8 / 1/100 second exposure / ISO 450
Skeletons by Pardus

Taken at the Stony Swamp Conservation Area near Ottawa, Ontario, Canada in September 2009. I liked the silhouettes of these tree skeletons, but whenever I tried to change my vantage point a bit, I found my feet getting wet. It would seem that the Stony Swamp was aptly named. Nikon D700 / 50mm / 1/100 second exposure / f10 / ISO 450
