Up in the clouds
The view from the top of Mount Wellington in Tasmania looks out over Hobart and surrounds, and on a clear day, the view is amazing! This day was not a clear one. Mostly it was a total white-out, but now and then we would get lucky and get a passing glimpse as the clouds ever so briefly parted! This couple were enjoying the view and I was hoping for a more candid shot of them looking out, but they turned to the camera as I fired the shot as I was using the big medium format 3D World syereo camera for the shot. It was always generating a lot of interest and was a great conversation starter.
This is just a 2D scan, but the original 3D stereo image was quite effective with the sense of actually standing on the rocks and the view stretching out into the distance.
The weather at the top here can get pretty wild and extreme. I recall one visit where it was more than a little windy. As I got out of the car, I was for the first time in my life, blown over flat on my back by the wind. Needless to say, I got straight back in the car and headed back down the mountain. They closed the road shortly after I got down, and I later found they had recorded 80 mph (130 km/h) gusts!
Original colour slide was taken between 2007 and 2009 with a 3D World medium format stereo film camera using Fuji Provia 100F colour slide film. Scanned with a Canon R10 with RF24-240mm lens and Nisi close up attachment.
