About Red Hill Lookout

Red Hill Lookout is an amazing place. I cant think of anywhere else in the world where you can be within 2km of the National Parliment (seen in the first picture) and find wildlife grazing. The second photo shows a few of the 20 odd Mob of kangaroos that we quitely feeding in the park when I was there.

How I photographed the falls

What I took - what was in my kit

I took my LowePro Backpack loaded with Canon 5DS R body, Canon 24 mm TS, and Canon 16-35mm, Manfrotto 190 Tripod, and of course a range of lens wipes, spare batteries, sunscreen and bug repellant.

How I photographed Coal Creek

What I took - what was in my kit

Coal Creek has a range of old buildings, and antiques exibits. For the old buildings lenses in the range of 35-100mm will be best, and for the exhibits 50-100mm. A flash is needed inside, or a sturdy tripod. You will want to be able to carry your equipment with you though as its a long way back to car to change out anything.

I took my LowePro Backpack loaded with Canon 5DSR body, Canon 24 mm TS, Canon 16-35mm and Canon 35-70mm zoom lenses, Manfrotto 190 Tripod, and of course a range of lens wipes, spare batteries, sunscreen and bug repellant.

Techniques

Nothing unusual is required to photograph Coal Creek. You merely need to seek pleasing compositions. I always expose to the right to maximise dynamic range.
