Fast ship  slow exposureFast ship slow exposure

Fast ship or slow exposure, no prizes for guessing which. Water was gushing up this crack in the rocks, not a bad capture but I didn't have time to wait for the perfect one before losing the light and the ship. Do you think the ship adds or subtracts from this image?
 

Slow ShipSlow Ship Slow Ship - Best of both worlds? or worst of both. This is a blended image of a long exposure of the water and a fast exposure of the ship.

Streetscape showing Crown Resort in Barangaroo Sydney NSW Australia.

 

After visiting Sydney for the first time since Covid hit I was shocked to see the new skyline in Darling Harbour. Perhaps living under a rock in Bathurst, I was not expecting to see this at all. It made the news today after being denied it's licence to operate as a casino but I am still struck by its 'beauty' and its contrast to the many buildings around it. Apparently I was not the only one; it was fascinating to see how many people were walking down Darling Harbour with their heads up almost mesmerized by their changed surroundings. Controversy aside how do you like the look of this building?

The rainbow formed out of the bottom of this storm cloud just on sunset and lit up beautifully, It only looked like this for a few minutes before the colours muted and the rainbow went away.

Unfortunately the weather didn't play ball so I thought I would grab a few different perspectives as research for a later trip. Turns out, I am quite happy with how they ended up.. Its funny how you can take photos of a single location at around the same time and end up with 3 completely different styles. Would love to know which one you like the best.   Pit Straight StarterPit Straight StarterSunrise on pit straight at Mount Panorama

Sculptures in the scrub https://www.davidromaphotography.com/blog/2017/11/sculptures-in-the-scrub This walking trail is in the Pilliga National Park. While the access is not too far, the condition of the road can make it take a long time to get to. It's a fairly easy walk with some nice views and a picnic spot. Best of all, there is a number of artworks along the trail which makes this place a special one to visit. Visit the National Parks website for official details and access information.

Spring Snow 2017 https://www.davidromaphotography.com/blog/2017/9/spring-snow-2017 Perfect one day beautiful the next.

The snow was quite localised; nothing in O'Connell, Oberon, some in black springs, and a bit more south of it. Probably still there if you fancy an afternoon drive.

I have taken a heap of photos that I will upload to this blog post as I get the chance. Keep warm :)

Snow 3 waysSnow 3 waysAerial panorama of spring snow fall near Black Springs nsw australia

Snow 3 ways

Aerial panorama of today's snow fall in the Central West near Black Springs NSW, Australia. You can see another snow storm blowing in from the right which ended the flight short.

 

Road to snowhereRoad to snowheresmall snow covered dirt road in the pine forests near Black Springs NSW Australia Road to snowhere

What too much? Can't go wrong with a small dirt road covered in snow in a pine forest can you. This panorama is one of my favorites from my little expedition today. 

 

Cold Colourful LogCold Colourful LogA colourful log in the snow in Black Springs Cold Colourful Log

I appreciated the colour in an otherwise white scene. The orange of the decaying timber and bright grass poking through. Decided to go for a shallow depth of field on this one to really draw the eye to the front of the log.

 

whiteoutwhiteoutSheep and Cattle by a dam in a snow white field near shooters hill Whiteout

Had to feel for the animals in their frozen fields. I don't think the dam was frozen over but I imagine it was a rather cool drink. 

 

Postal ServicePostal ServiceCute letterbox in the snow Postal Service

This letterbox caught my eye. Looked like a mini house with the snow settling quite thick on the roof. You can see its actually snowing quite heavy while this shot was taken. 

 

Maters ChillMaters ChillLooks like Mater from the Cars moive. In a snow field with horses Maters Chill

I thought this truck looked like Mater from the Cars movie. You can see up on the hill near the tree are some horses as well.

Loved the lighting on the snow covered pine branch with the dark forest in the background.

But names will never hurt me. I like to capture some of the detail as well as the wide landscapes. 

 

Leading lines through the snowLeading lines through the snowForestry trail covered in snow near Black Springs in the Central West Follow me

Leading lines through the snow. One of my favorites from the trip. 

 

Snow waySnow wayShooters Hill road in the snow. Grass shadows behind the trees Snow Way

Shooters Hill road in the snow. I like how it looks like the Trees have grass shadows. I guess its because the snow was coming in at an angle? Seems to have cooled off again after a hot weekend.

 

Horses in the snowHorses in the snowThey were very curious what I was up to Horses in the snow

They were very curious what I was up to. Didn't seem to mind the snow though.

Fiji Dinner - There are worse places to dine in Fiji. Wicked Walu at sunset.

 

Wicked WaluWicked WaluThe highest rated resturant in Fiji

Wicked Walu Seafood Restaurant
Warwick Resort, Coral Coast, Fiji

This is the top rated restaurant in Fiji for good reason. The meals are delicious, the staff are great and the view is tough to beat. Every night they light up the torches that lead you across the path to the island. From the deck you can see the fish swimming, and later the reef sharks come in for the left overs.

Beechworth Victoria https://www.davidromaphotography.com/blog/2017/8/beechworth-victoria A series of photos from the lovely town of Beechworth Victoria Australia. The Woolshed waterfalls and a few of the historic buildings in town. But perhaps missing one important part.....

Beechworth Post Office

Pretty self explanatory. This one was taken at sunset from the cobblestone lined roundabout. I had to get the timing just right to avoid getting any cars in the shot. Thought I would include the lamp post to keep a bit of foreground interest.

 

 

BeechworthBeechworthBeechworth honey discovery with roundabout at sunset Beechworth

I think this shot captures the essence of the town. The Beechworth honey discovery buiding with their unique roundabout at sunset. That's all for my quick trip to Beechworth. I think my favorite part was not captured however, the awesome selection of beers at the brewery.

Old shearing shed in Omeo, Victoria Australia. Shooting into the sun is always a challenge.

Yacht Club - Hamilton Island https://www.davidromaphotography.com/blog/2017/3/yacht-club---hamilton-island Yacht ClubYacht ClubThe Yacht Club at Hamilton Island looking spectacular at night

The Yacht Club looks spectacular at night. This image was taken at 17mm f8 for 30 seconds.

17mm is a nice wide angle to capture the building in its environment. It also gives a larger depth of field.

F8 gives a decent depth of field given the wide angle lens. Ideally I would have shot this around f10 however that would have required a longer shutter speed.

30sec is the max shutter speed you can use on camera without using a cable release or connecting to my phone. I have no idea why they limit it to this, seems like it would be simple to allow you to extend into the minutes. If I had of remembered/been bothered to get out my cable release I would have shot this at ISO100 instead of 640 and at f10.

Well there you go, a slightly lazy shot is better than non at all right? Hope you liked the shot and enjoyed the read.

A stunning Sunset looking east from Bathurst tonight. This is an 11 image panorama so can be printed LARGE. It only stayed around for a few minutes, I didn't have time to find a better foreground so worked with the view I had on hand.. Cant complain :)

Bathurst a beautiful history https://www.davidromaphotography.com/blog/2016/12/bathurst-a-beautiful-history A beautiful historyA beautiful historyAerial panorama of Bathurst at sunset featuring tremain mill, train station, Mount Panorama and the Carillion

Aerial panorama of Bathurst at sunset. I love this shot, it's not often you see Bathurst from this angle and while the focus is Tremain's Mill, there are also some hidden surprises. In the hi-res version, You can read Mount Panorama on the mountain on the very left. You can see the Carillon poking up on the right in the background, also the courthouse. I am getting better at predicting when good sunsets will be, just running out of local locations to capture. If you have ideas, let me know! 

 

Tremain MillTremain MillTremain's Mill at sunrise with silos in background

A more intimate view of Tremain's Mill, with the silos in the background. This is a sunrise shot, I love the complementary colours with the warm light of the sun on the side of the building and the cool shadows of the mill behind.

 

Tremain Mill monochromeTremain Mill monochromeTremain's Mill at sunrise with silos in background

Sometimes I find it hard to decide on the way to process an image. This is a black and white version, I figured it suited the historic nature of the building.

 

Tremain Mill sepiaTremain Mill sepiaTremain's Mill at sunrise with silos in background

Finally, a sepia/creamtone version. I quite like this, really highlights the buildings and their shape rather than being distracted by the colour. I would love to know which is your favorite, leave a comment below.

What a cracking venue for the 2016 inland sea of sound festival. It's a great layout up there this year, with plenty to see and do. Was a great turnout in the end too with people having a blast moshing to the Black Sorrows and dancing with the South African Band Medleko Meropa. Head on up for a nice chilled afternoon of beer and wine on the grass. I'm the official photographer up there, so if you see me scooting about be sure to stop me for a quick chat and photo :)

Kate Miller HeidkeKate Miller HeidkeWhat an cracking venue for such an intimate gig with this amazing artist

What an cracking venue for such an intimate gig with this amazing artist. It took some effort to get this shot just right, I really wanted to capture the 3 elements, the crowd, the artists, and the lights of bathurst in the background. I took this one at a distance on a ladder at 200mm to get some nice compression and bring the 3 elements of the image close together. On top of that f2.8 to let in the most light possible and ISO1600 to get just a short enough exposure so their movement is not too blurred. Oh yeah, and like 50 shots to get just the right moment in time :) I think this is one of my favorite images from the weekend, I feel it really captures magic of the event.

I was all cosy and warm inside, but when the clouds cleared I couldn't resist heading out in the freezing cold to see what I could capture. To say I didn't regret it would be an understatement, I think this is one of my favorite images to date. It puts everything in perspective in an instant.

It's been a while since I have shared a wildlife shot. This one was taken some time ago. Now that it's warming up a little I look forward to getting out and getting more shots like this. I can still remember how quick these birds were and difficult to capture. This was the luckiest shot, the sun was setting and looked epic on this massive Gymea Lily. I framed up the shot and to my delight this little honey eater landed perfectly in frame :)

Kanangra-Boyd National Park, NSW, Australia

 

These spectacular falls are a fairly short steep walk from the carpark at the Kanangra Walls car park. I can’t believe I have never made it out here before. They are spectacular at the moment, not sure how they normally look. There is a fair bit of rough dirt on the way out, with quite a few wallabies and other wildlife to look out for. There are some nice lookouts on the walk out and the falls themselves have a nice secluded feel to them. There are epic falls you can see off in the distance…. might have to do some research :)

Millthorpe NSW Australia https://www.davidromaphotography.com/blog/2016/8/millthorpe-nsw-australia Established in the pioneering era, Millthorpe has a rich agricultural history, a legacy of grand buildings, heritage architecture and a streetscape that has remained largely unchanged since the early 1900’s. The entire village is classified by the National Trust and the village centre has cobbled, bluestone bordered streets. Millthorpe is a living museum being home to a community of about 700 people and comes alive on weekends with locals, visitors and tourists alike.

Bathurst Floods July 2016 https://www.davidromaphotography.com/blog/2016/7/bathurst-floods-july-2016 The low level bridge (Gordon Edgell Bridge) on Hereford Street Bathurst NSW has flooded overnight 12/07/2016. These aerial shots give a good perspective of how the Macquarie River was looking around 9am on a very foggy morning.

 

This is a long exposure shot of the Ben Chifley dam overflow. The  power of the water is amazing, pushing trees down the creek. I have never seen it running this fast before. Enjoy the nice sily smooth waters in this one :)

Drone footage flying from this location, up the overflow, looking over the dam and back over the rolling green hills toward Bathurst. This is a single shot uploaded straight to youtube, no fancy editing here.

The Western Advocate contacted me after seeing this footage and put together this article. Of course there are more pun's then my page

I also got a mention in Prime local news on Friday, you can see a recording here:

This vertical pano shows just how much water is flowing out the overflow of the dam. It really is raging and quite off putting walking down the path beside it.

Check out the ice rink in front of the Courthouse for the 2016 Bathurst Winter Festival. I am stoked to be the official photographer for council this year. It's been great working with them and capturing the mood of the events. Its nice that Bathurstians have an excuse to brave the cold and get out and about this winter. The ice rink, Ferris wheel and illumination will be going till the end of next week, but the final festival night is Saturday evening. See you there, put your smiles on :)

 

All of the Lights All of the lightsAll of the lightsFerris wheel with crowds and fire performers.

This is one of my favs from the Brew & Bite night. I think it captures the mood of the evening with all the different things going on. I like the different sources of lights. The city, the ferris wheel, the fire performers, the glow balloons and the tree lights, the glowing cubes... From all accounts it was a great success, looking forward to what council come up with for next year.

Glen Davis Oil Shale Works https://www.davidromaphotography.com/blog/2016/5/glen-davis-oil-shale-works The Glen Davis Shale Oil Works was a shale oil extraction plant in Glen Davis, New South Wales, Australia which operated from 1940 until 1952 and was the last oil-shale operation in Australia until the Stuart Oil Shale Project in the late 1990s. For the period of 1865–1952, it provided one fifth of the shale oil produced in Australia.

An Aerial Panorama of Lake Jindabyne, New South Wales, Australia

 

Completed in 1967, Jindabyne Dam is a major dam, located approximately 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) south south-east of the relocated town of Jindabyne. The dam was constructed by a consortia of Utah-Brown and Sudamericana based on engineering plans developed under contract by the Snowy Mountains Hydroelectric Authority.Construction of the dam flooded the settlement of Old Jindabyne that accommodated approximately 300 people. Parts of Old Jindabyne can be seen when the levels of Lake Jindabyne are low. The settlement of East Jindabyne is located above what was Old Jindabyne (wikipedia)

There is nothing particularly special about this shot, but there is something I find really peaceful about it. Perhaps its just memories of being there as opposed to the actual image itself. Would be interested to hear what others think.

Happy Australia Day! 

Panoramic views 400ft above Mount Kosciuszko Australia would make this the highest drone in Australia. It's crazy how barren and rocky the landscape is. I love in this shot how you can just about see the long long path back to the car park at Charlotte Pass, both the long, and short route. You can also see the metal path leading off from the toilet block across toward the chairlift. It's certainly a long testing walk, was so happy after carting the drone all that way the conditions were safe to fly. Enjoy your day, get those tunes cranking :)

The gasworks operated in conjunction with Orange and Lithgow council between 1888 and 1979, it was then leased to AGL who used it until 1987. It is now leased to Jemena and is considered a historic site.

A relic of the past, this car has been put out to pasture. I took this image back in 2014, its a 30 second exposure at f7.1 for some depth of field. Walking around with a torch I light painted the foreground for some nice even light. I wonder how many more years it will be here.

The spectacular sunset from last night. Many of you got to experience the storm first hand, but it was beautiful from a distance... This is a view over a harvested field in Cowra looking back towards Bathurst. The cloud was amazing, difficult to capture all the shades of pink. I had hoped to get a more interesting foreground but when chasing a sunset shot like this you only have a few minutes to capture it, so you have to settle for the best location you can find quick! Looking forward to storm season :)

Wallerawang Power Station is a thermal coal power station, located near Wallerawang, in the Central Tablelands region of New South Wales,Australia. The power station is equipped with two turbo-alternators of 500 megawatts (670,000 hp) each, supplied by C. A. Parsons and Company of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, England. Due to dwindling demand, the first of the two generating units was mothballed in January 2013, and the second in April 2014. [wikipedia]

"Mum... Why don't I look like you?". I finally spotted this rare white Kangaroo. The sun was setting and I didn't have my camera with me. I rushed home, got my gear and headed back out. To my delight they were still there. I managed to snap this shot at 600mm before they bounced off out of my view. It was getting quite dark, so I am looking forward to getting a better quality shot in sunlight one day. It certainly was a treat to see such a rare animal with my own eyes. And no, this is not a photoshop trick, they are real. Feel free to share this image or give it a creative caption :)

The perfect view https://www.davidromaphotography.com/blog/2015/11/the-perfect-view The perfect viewThe perfect viewThe view from the highest point of Hamilton Island, Passage Peak

The view from the highest point of Hamilton Island, Passage Peak. This was my favorite view out over the Whitsundays. It was not a hard walk, but it was long and really really humid. This view makes it all worth while though. I just love the vibrant blue water at Hamilton Island. Polarizing sunglasses are a must up here; they really emphasize the rich blues and the contrast of the shadows of the clouds. I had originally only planned to stay for 5 minutes, but once I saw this view I couldn't bring myself to leave it for quite some time.

Wishing you all a peaceful evening and great week ahead.

The FA-18 Super Hornet Jet over the V8 Supercars at Mt. Panorama Bathurst. This was an absolutely spectacular show. I was expecting just a flyover, but it went for a good 10mins, full of tight turns low passes, stalls, and a bunch of things I don't know the names for. I love this shot, such clarity of the metal and seeing the jets and heat coming of the back makes it. The Sigma 150-600 at work again. I had a sore arm holding it up by the end of the show....

I was asked by one of my followers some time ago if I had a shot of the Katoomba skyline. I didn't at the time but after scouting I eventually came up with this shot which I am quite happy with. I actually took this shot from Leura to get a nice perspective of the skyline. Thought a monochrome image might suit this subject and this dreary day.

Hope you all are having a good week and enjoyed the race yesterday!

Fields of Gold - Cowra, NSW, Australia https://www.davidromaphotography.com/blog/2015/9/fields-of-gold---cowra-nsw-australia Well, it seemed people really enjoyed my last series. So time to share another one. I hope you like canola photos, because this blog post is full of them. I have been meaning to get some canola shots for a while now, and while I don't think I have my 'perfect' shot yet, I did enjoy the experience. I hope you enjoy this little tour around the central west near Cowra, NSW, Australia.

Lazy Bees

Lazy Bees - Cowra, NSW, AustraliaLazy Bees - Cowra, NSW, AustraliaFields of Gold - Landscape Photography of the Canola Fields in Cowra and surrounds 2015

Sooo much pollen, so little time. The easy life for these bees, no long flights to find their pollen. I love the layers in this shot, green crop (what is this by the way?), sheep, canola, bees, horizon. Taken with the sigma 150-600 gives many landscape opportunities.

 

Golden rays

God rays over the canola fields. These were shining for quite a while so had to make sure I found a shot which had both canola and the Godrays :)

 

Duck in flight over Canola

Duck in flight over CanolaDuck in flight over CanolaFields of Gold - Landscape Photography of the Canola Fields in Cowra and surrounds 2015

Didn't realise this was a duck when it flew over, sees a ways from water here, but I am sure he knew were he was going. I love the layers of colour and nice contrast of the duck in the sky. Cool little blue feathers he has too :) This one was taken at 600mm 500th second at f/6.3

 

Green n Gold 

Green n Gold - Cowra, NSW, AustraliaGreen n Gold - Cowra, NSW, AustraliaFields of Gold - Landscape Photography of the Canola Fields in Cowra and surrounds 2015

This is one of my favorite compositions from the trip. The nice curve and mix of colour with the two opposing focal points, one natural and one man made. It is nearly like a natural ying yang symbol.

 

Abstract Canola

Abstract Canola - Cowra, NSW, AustraliaAbstract Canola - Cowra, NSW, AustraliaFields of Gold - Landscape Photography of the Canola Fields in Cowra and surrounds 2015

I reckon this would make a nice desktop background. Super simple and plain, but still regognisable. It's nearly split into perfect thirds, focused detail in foreground, yellow blur in background, white blur sky.

 

Old Beauty

Old Beauty - Cowra, NSW, AustraliaOld Beauty - Cowra, NSW, AustraliaFields of Gold - Landscape Photography of the Canola Fields in Cowra and surrounds 2015

I love a dead tree, and what better than one in the middle of a canola field. Just beautiful. I love the the farmer doesnt cut it down for wood and to make working the field easier, but simply goes around it. I got lucky with the weather, clouds make some interest in the sky, but the sun still poked through when I needed it. If you look carefully there are actually a few birds perched in teh branches.

 

Shifting Skies 

Shifting Skies - Cowra, NSW, AustraliaShifting Skies - Cowra, NSW, AustraliaFields of Gold - Landscape Photography of the Canola Fields in Cowra and surrounds 2015

This is one of my first shots with my new 10stop ND filter. It's a 30 second exposure in full sun. It got some movement captured in the clouds, they were not moving fast enough for the full effect. Yes, thats the dead tree in the middle there, just goes to show what focal length can do for different compositions of the same location.

 

Golden perspective

Golden perspective - Cowra, NSW, AustraliaGolden perspective - Cowra, NSW, AustraliaFields of Gold - Landscape Photography of the Canola Fields in Cowra and surrounds 2015

Same location again with the same dead tree, but this one from a different perspective, taken about 5m above the last shot, really brings the canola to be the focus of the shot rather than the sky.

 

Golden hour hill

Golden hour hill - Cowra, NSW, AustraliaGolden hour hill - Cowra, NSW, AustraliaFields of Gold - Landscape Photography of the Canola Fields in Cowra and surrounds 2015

This shot has such an etherial feel to it. The dark storm clouds in the background contrasting with the late afternoon sun setting off to my right lighting up the fields and the trees.

 

Fields of Gold

Fields of Gold - Cowra, NSW, AustraliaFields of Gold - Cowra, NSW, AustraliaFields of Gold - Landscape Photography of the Canola Fields in Cowra and surrounds 2015
This one gets the title of the blog post. Nothing but a field of golden yellow canola. I took this in the same area as the "abstract Canola" shot and was unsure if I should post both, but I think they have their own unique charm. Would be interested to hear which one people prefer.

 

Golden Tree

Golden Tree - Cowra, NSW, AustraliaGolden Tree - Cowra, NSW, AustraliaFields of Gold - Landscape Photography of the Canola Fields in Cowra and surrounds 2015

This one has 2 trees separated by about 10kms. An unusual composition, this gum tree is surrounded by colour, something which is quite unusual for this kind of tree. But you know me, I love to find shots which a bit different from the usual you have seen before :)

 

Panorama from Bellevue Hill Lookout

Panorama from Bellevue Hill Lookout - Cowra, NSW, AustraliaPanorama from Bellevue Hill Lookout - Cowra, NSW, AustraliaFields of Gold - Landscape Photography of the Canola Fields in Cowra and surrounds 2015

A 51 megapixel stitched panorama. If you want this one, you can have it printed as large as you like! :) Crazy to think the new 5ds takes images this large in a single shot. It was a beautiful sunset in Corwa that evening. Bellevue is certainly a nice location to take it all in. You can see the "Golden Tree" in the bottom left of this image.

 

Golden calf

Golden calf - Cowra, NSW, AustraliaGolden calf - Cowra, NSW, AustraliaFields of Gold - Landscape Photography of the Canola Fields in Cowra and surrounds 2015

I noticed the fog rising from a dam on my way home. Fortunatly there was a safe spot to quickly park to get this shot. It was quite dark at this stage after the sun had been down a while, but the sky was still full of colour. This is a long exposure making the moving cours have a ghostly appearance. So much colour in this shot.

 

Well that's it.. I hope you enjoyed the little trip in the central west around the Cowra, New South Wales, Australia. It really is beautiful this time of year (early spring).

Bushrangers Cave - Mt. Victoria https://www.davidromaphotography.com/blog/2015/9/bushrangers-cave Bushrangers CaveBushrangers CaveA beautifully shaped cave entrance with views over the Kanimbla valley

A beautifully shaped cave entrance with views over the Kanimbla valley located in Mt. Victoria, Blue Mountains, NSW, Australia. I can't believe I have never found this place up till now, its such a photogenic location. It was a nice surprise to see the Gary P Hayes Gallery right at the start of where the walk begins. I dropped in to say hello and we had a great chat. Thanks for the directions to the cave ;)

There are two levels in the cave and a conveniently placed chair to climb up. I wish I had a photo of the crazy position I got myself into to frame this shot. It certainly wouldn't meet any OH&S standards that's for sure. I wanted to get right up close to the crack in the rock about 10 foot off the cave floor. It makes for a nice leading line drawing your eye through the image and out into the view of the valley.

I just love the teardrop shape to the cave entrance. There is some crazy dynamic range in this shot, I had to shoot 5 exposures and blend them just to get all the detail of the cave as well as the valley. I have been dying to share this one, but been too busy with other projects. I hope you enjoy!

Dr. Pepper product shot with nice fresh water spray. These shots were taken with 3 strobes. One behind for the for a rim light and to light the water droplets. A primary flash to light the front, and a fill flash on the right to light the shadows at a lower power. The image was shot remotely to get just the right timing of the water spray.

It was such a beautiful day on Saturday. Felt like spring had arrived early, so I thought I would enjoy a drive and a view of this historic train from the 1930's. It was a tad slower than I thought, so I had a good opportunity to talk to some of the locals also waiting on the bridge just near Wimbledon. Apparently there is a local Koala that lives the the trees just near here. I have never seen a Koala around this region so I might have to head back sometime and have a look.

Old stuff always looks good in Black and White right? Would be interested to hear which one you prefer. Personally for this shot I prefer the colour, but for the remaining shots I have posted in B&W. Hope you enjoy.

Now I am not a train person. I must say I was a little disappointed by the lack of steam.. There was a diesel engine on the back which I had heard was just to pull it back to Bathurst. But looking at this image it looks a bit suss. Like there is a little steam jet just behind the main chimney thing.. Is this a 'fake' engine? (clearly I know nothing about trains :) )

It was mesmerizing watching the way the wheels turned on this engine. Took this shot at 2000th of a second to freeze the action.

Nice scenery for a bit of a train trip in the second car.

I thought I would go for something a little different and capture this old farm equipment (anyone know what it is?) while the Loco went past at Perthville.

 

Well that's it, hope you enjoyed. Always up for something a little different :)

Helensburgh Metropolitan Tunnel https://www.davidromaphotography.com/blog/2015/8/helensburgh-metropolitan-tunnel There is so much history to this place. The metro tunnel is 624m long, it opened in 1888 and closed in 1915. Some believe the tunnels are haunted as there have been a number of deaths here. Since their closure they have been used as a mushroom farm and a water reservoir. 

I have been meaning to get to this location for quite some time. Little did I know how easy it is to get to once you know where it is. I arrived just as the sun was going down, which was perfect timing as I could get both daylight shots of the entrance plus could hang around till it got dark enough to get some photos of the glowworms. 

 

Helensburgh Sign

Helensburgh Metropolitan Tunnel SignHelensburgh Metropolitan Tunnel SignHelensburgh sign and the entrance to the metropolitan tunnel

The original sign was replaced by this flash one in 2012. Depending on the amount of rain the tunnel can flood all the way up to this point. It leaves the tracks quite muddy. Fortunately it was dry enough I was able to venture deep in to the tunnel. I was stoked about how easy it is to access, it is only about 50m from where you can park the car. I love how green it is here.

 

Metropolitan Tunnel Entrance

Helensburgh Metropolitan Tunnel EntranceHelensburgh Metropolitan Tunnel Entranceentrance to the metropolitan tunnel

A classic view of the entrance to the metropolitan tunnel in Helensburgh. When it has been raining a waterfall forms which runs down the right hand side of the tunnel. I love the moss and ferns in this place, makes it feel other worldly and so close to Sydney makes this a quick escape from the big smoke. You can see how muddy it is, I had to balance my way down the tracks to avoid getting too muddy.

 

 

Glowworms!

Helensburgh Metropolitan Tunnel glowwormsHelensburgh Metropolitan Tunnel glowwormsGlowworms looking deep into the Helensburgh Metroplolitan tunnel

I was pretty stoked to see how many glowworms there were in these tunnels. Right in the city. I saw more glowworms in this tunnel than the 'Glowworm Tunnel' in the Wollemi National Park. This is the view looking south not too far into the tunnel. Glowworms are so hard to photograph. They are dimmer than the stars, fortunately they don't move as fast. To capture the glowworms I needed a 2min exposure at f2.8 and high ISO.

 

Skunks Message

Helensburgh Metropolitan Tunnel messageHelensburgh Metropolitan Tunnel messageskunks message

Moving deeper into the tunnel the glow worms have gone. I think this is because the tunnel regularly floods above this level so they cannot live here. It is pitch black at this point so required some light painting with our torches in order to expose anything. This shot is taken at f5 to get a little bit more depth of field and over 30 seconds. It was quite eerie this far down, and the graffiti capped it off. 

"She told me all the inhuman pain and suffering she had endured was worth it as it finally led her to me... Skunk"

Awww.. Well I am happy for you Skunk. To be honest I was expecting a much darker messaged painted here.

 

 

The end of the line

Helensburgh Metropolitan Tunnel floodedHelensburgh Metropolitan Tunnel floodedblack and white shot showing the flooded end of the tunnel

Well I made it to the end.. Well as far as I could get without a swim anyway. I nearly lost a shoe to the thick sticky mud and it took a while for my tripod to settle in to the mud before I could take my shot. There is an urban legend that there is an old steam train under water down here. I love the thought of how it might look but I certainly was not curious enough to get the scuba gear out!

You can see the water stretching out closing the tunnel off in the distance. I love the tones and reflection in this image so thought I would process it in black and white to really emphasize them. 

 

The great escape

Helensburgh Metropolitan Tunnel glowworms outHelensburgh Metropolitan Tunnel glowworms outThe glowwoms looking out of the Helensburgh metropolitan tunnel

The glow worms looking out of Helensburgh Metropolitan Tunnel. I love this shot. You can see the tracks drawing your eyes out to the greenery outside. The sun had set and outside was quite dark, barely visible to the eyes, but over 2.5mins at high ISO it nearly looks like daytime. It's amazing to see just how much light the glow worms give off, you can see the roof and even some of the walls are lit green. There is also a super bright little fella on the bottom right near the tracks. It certainly took some experimentation and patience to get this shot. In fact just when I thought I had it set up right my battery ran out! Long exposures really sap the juice. It meant a run/walk back to the car to get the spare. But after seeing the result, I am glad I went to the effort. I hope you like this shot as much as I do :)

 

The other tunnel

Helensburgh North tunnelHelensburgh North tunnelLooking in to the fenced off tunnel to the north of the metropolitan tunnel Just across the road there is another tunnel which is fenced off. This is a much shorter tunnel. So short in fact that you can just see the end of it in this shot. The tracks are no longer here, the walls are covered in graffiti and there is a beam across the center of the tunnel. This was the tunnel apparently used for growing mushrooms and there is still some electrical wiring about. As if it wasn't creepy enough I have heard that the metal beam has been used for suicide. Very sad. I would hate to be the person to come across that, perhaps that is why its all fenced off now. While the tunnel itself is quite dry, there was quite a lot of mud leading up to it, so was tricky to get close enough to put my lens between the fence to get this shot.... Back to the other tunnel now to end on a higher note....

 

Stars of heaven and earth

Helensburgh Metropolitan Tunnel stars and glowwormsHelensburgh Metropolitan Tunnel stars and glowwormsStars and glowworms looking into the Helensburgh Metropolitan Tunnel at night

This is one of my favorite images of the series and perhaps all time. I love the connection between the stars in the sky, and the 'stars' in the earth. It's nearly like there are white holes in the sky (stars) because the little blue pieces of sky have fallen down into the tunnel (glowworms). The glowworms came out great in this shot and compliment the tracks leading your eyes deep in to the image where you can see some people with torches at the end of the tunnel. The nice green moss over the textured bricks and scattered light from the trees really add to the mood of this image. Feels like another world.

Well there it is. I hope you enjoyed this little tour of Helensburgh metropolitan tunnel. If you have any questions feel free to comment below. I have been getting a positive response on social media so far so I might look at doing another series soon.

On a cold frosty morning these lambs were super excited to see the sun. They were jumping and prancing around, back and forth. He certainly got some solid air on this jump! I love the warmth of the sun on the lambs while they play with the contrast of the cool frosty blue tones in the shadows behind. I wonder what they were saying to each other, feel free to caption ;)
