To Exeter And Back

Memories of the beautiful colour last year in Exeter had me hoping to catch the last of the Autumn colour. Although a reasonably long drive, many interesting locations can be visited en route: Moss Vale, Mittagong, Bowral, Berrima and Sutton Forest to name a few. Sutton Forest has some magnificent horse studs and the driveways are usually gravel and lined with trees. Unfortunately the poplars were well past their best, but the drive was still worthwhile.
Whenever I'm 'out and about' I always receive an unexpected bonus. The bonus today was some young lambs frolicking after their mums. Unfortunately sheep seem to be easily spooked and ewes and lambs ran off before I could grab an interesting shot of a tiny young lamb.

A Day In The Country

Took myself off on a trip to the Southern Highlands in search of a quaint little church discovered online at the pretty little town of Exeter.  Electing to follow the scenic route through Picton, Bowral and Mittagong I was keen to track down some poplar trees I'd seen the previous weekend. Feeling in need of a new perspective, I decided to take my fisheye lens in order to create some more unique captures. 
My senses have become a little numbed by the countless autumn leaves and poplar shots evident in the groups now that Autumn has really taken hold and although I was still keen to track down my own shots, I was keen to give them a less traditional spin.
