24 July to 26 July 2017, Lamington National Park, Queensland
.
The second day was something of a rest day because we’d found Dave’s Creek Track more arduous than expected, so we went for a drive to Natural Bridge. This image combines multiple exposures to enhance shadow detail, which you appreciate more if you click on the image to see it larger.

A huge log lying in the creek below the natural bridge.

Back in the carpark, this bush turkey was eagerly patrolling in vain expectation of a handout.
.
Long exposure after sunset on the way back.
.
The next day, five of us elected to undertake the 17.5 kilometre Coomera Circuit. This was to be the highlight of the trip. This is a section of the Coomera Falls.
.
Not sure of the name of this waterfall.

Funghi on a log on the way back.

Temperate rainforest on the return path.

The side of a tree on the return path.

Back Alcheringa, another view from the balcony. I actually took this to demonstrate panorama processing but it also serves as an illustration of the magnificence in front of you that you may not think to photograph.
.
The next day, returning to the airport, we had some extra time so took a side route and were fortunate enough to see these paragliders just launched at a steep dropoff beside the road in North Tamborine.
.
.
Not many or even no posts for a month or so. I’m off to Tasmania tomorrow and will probably not have internet access most of the time.

Thanks heaps! And thanks for the nomination. Whilst I appreciate the honour, I don’t participate in WordPress awards.
(Slow to reply because I’ve mainly been off the web in Tasmania).

Exquisite collection of images Murray!! I love water shots. I purchaed a variable ND filter some time ago – but stilI have to get my tripod and butt to a nearby waterfall. I found you on Emanscamera blog and now I know that you are a serious photographer even without a railway carriage!

Thanks very much Michael! I had ND filters with me but actually didn’t need it for these images – just shutting down the lens was enough. Currently travelling in Tasmania without much time or internet access.

I didn’t use a tripod (had to keep up with the others at this point in time) so I was pushing the limits in the low light.
