I’ve always wanted to try a shot like this; a really simple photo of tree trunks with lots of small detail and nice colours. I’d never really found a nice place to shoot what I had in mind, until the other day.

It’s a 6 photo stitch on a heavily overcast day. It was raining lightly while I was setting up and shooting so I had to be fairly quick to not get any water drops on the lens.

I had been waiting for a nice overcast morning to shoot some of the farmland just out past Canungra for a while now, and this particular morning presented the perfect opportunity. There had been a lot of rain the few days preceding this one, so there was a LOT of water around, and some low cloud hovering in and around the mountains.

This is a 7 photo stitch and there is a lot of detail in the high resolution copy of this photograph. You can even see a bunch of Kookaburras sitting in the lone tree on the lower right of the scene when viewed at full size.

Canungra, Queensland, Australia.
