8th January, 08/365 (11:58pm...phew!!)
Five minutes left until midnight and the pressure was on to grab my photo of the day! I decided to grab the tripod and attempt another splash. It was a bit of a gamble but fortunately I did end up with one or two useable shots! This is a little darker than I would like ideally but the focus is better than yesterday's effort!
The backgound is luxury handmade wrapping paper which is like felt in texture - one side has lovely glittery patterns which created a quite nice bokeh effect in yesterday's shot. I turned the paper around tonight for a change, it's made me realise just how much light was being bounced back by the glitter as this is very much darker!
Ulan (near Mudgee)
NSW, Australia.
The Drip is an amazing gorge on the Goulburn River just north of Ulan and about 50km north of Mudgee.
The main part of the massive rock overhang is referred to as The Great Dripping Wall.
Water runs off from the surrounding hillsides & seeps through the rock & drips onto the the pools in the gorge.
Ferns cling to the rocks of the steep overhang and are constantly watered by the the water that drips down the top.
The track to The Drip is about 2.4km return, but it’s well worth exploring further downstream.
There are sandstone cliffs with ferneries that cling to them, huge boulders, & gnarly twisted trees.
Recently, an Aboriginal style painting on a large rock overhang by the river was discovered to be by Brett Whitely, a famous Australian artist.
The Drip area also contains a culturally important cave for the Wiradjuri indigenous tribe.
The cave has been used for many years as a place for women’s rituals & birthing was performed there.
The Drip is a popular destination for both locals & tourists.
People visit The Drip to bushwalk, swim, and also to go camping.
Its a great location for photography & also for bird-watching.
Unfortunately, The Drip is under threat from mining.
The area is not protected by the nearby Goulburn River national Park & is owned by the Moolarben Coal Company.
The mining company have proposed to protect as national park a measly 0.75ha of the area directly around The Drip wall.
The remainder 53ha of the proposal is for a state conservation area rather than a national park.
This does not protect the sensitive area from mining.
Moolarben Coal have a proposal to drill a tunnel that crosses The Drip are & this has the potential to affect local aquifers & river levels.
This could threaten the survival of the sensitive area of The Drip itself.
Local landowners Julie & Colin Imrie have offered 10ha of their neighbouring ‘Gleniston’ property to become national park,
as long as the Yancoal group hand over a larger portion of their land to national park.
This is a beautiful & unique area that needs to be protected as a national park.
MM …..Am still plugging away at drips. Did two dozen but not thrilled with them- I think I like the ones I did earlier this week……
I may have to charge up the battery on the BGC and give it a whirl!
Best viewed large. Another inspired drip shot. I must have taken about 200 shots of drips today. The reflections in them are great. I normally do drips after the splash, but this is the reverse.
Last up load for a while, i am going on a 3 country tour next week but untill i get back i will not be posting due to a lack of photos. will catch up when i get back.
Played around with trying to catch water drips from the faucet... No photoshop editing. Stuck a piece of green construction paper behind the faucet for some background.

While there was plenty of beauty at the Chicago Botanical Garden's Orchid exhibit, this bamboo water spout caught my eye. Enjoy!
Playing with water - still not got my perfect drip shot, but this one is OK.
