This is so beautiful :thumbsup:

Thanks a lot for your kind comment

Wow, too bad during my time at wallaby, DSLRs wasn't so affordable yet. Nice shots!

That must have been quite some time ago :bsmilie: Thanks for dropping by bro!

haha yeah can! i was appointed photographer for my detachment. but that aside, cameras are allowed for overseas training, just that you can't publish the sensitive ones.

wow... times have changed!

Really good shots. I like all 4.
Jealous that when I went to Shoalwater Bay training area, DSLRs were expensive and not common, and we weren't allowed to bring cameras anyway.

Your photos are too small...! Hard to appreciate properly.

Thanks for your appreciation and for that comment. I think it looks acceptably sized to me cos I'm using a low resolution monitor :bsmilie: Made them larger!

I brought all my stuff along in a nat geo medium sling bag! Been to many places but most of the landscape pictures are from either camp growl or hill 122. Thanks for your comments!

#4 is a great shot! the crop is effective, though probably i think u can still afford abit more room over the top.

great colors for the sunset in #6 although a bit too much space for me. over the skies. A symmetrically placed sun might work as well.

I always remembered the training area as having one of the nicest sunset. Nice

 

[ZerocoolAstra]

Looks more like holiday/photography trip than military exercise

#5: I would have preferred a slightly tigher crop, to reduce the blackness at the top, whilst maintaining the same aspect ratio
#6: I prefer the sun in its present position on the right 1/3 of the photo. Nice clouds!
#7: :thumbsup:

Nice shots.

4) Sunset over Rockhampton

This is a great shot. I usually don't ask this question, but what lens could have gotten you this perspective? Not the 17-50 right?

Thanks for the suggestions! I agree with the comment on #4. Did some re-cropping to show a little more of the top.

I'm not sure about #6 though. I did think about placing it symmetrically though, but there's a hill on the right that'll force me to use a longer focal length to exclude it from the picture. Thanks for that suggestion though, will certainly try it if I have the opportunity nexttime :bsmilie:

Yes very! I've never seen sunsets to beautiful before. I'm gonna import and edit some pictures of a coastal sunrise soon. Thanks for dropping by!

 

[LeGozt]

Nice shots.

Thank you!

This is a great shot. I usually don't ask this question, but what lens could have gotten you this perspective? Not the 17-50 right?

I used the longest lens I had, which is the Sigma 70-300mm f4-f5.6. And I'm using a Canon 1000D which gives a 1.6x crop factor. What you see is actually a 100% crop heh :sweat:

Thanks for the compliments bro!

Very beautiful shots you took. I went for Wallaby last year, but didn't bring my camera though =( I'd be sure to bring it if I get to go again during reservist. And you used a 1000D! shows that you don't a need a high-end camera to take nice pictures.

I am an ex-regular who had the fortune to visit SWBTA 18 times, but never did I realised this place can be so beautiful. U did a great job in brining back fond memories. Thanks.

>>>BTW, can I ask from which site did u took the milky way pic from? PM me is it involves GTI names. Tks
