This inclement weather view of Demondrille shows the current desolate state of what was once a busy railway junction.
To the right is the line to Cowra and Blayney, which itself boasted 2 further branch lines. Today the line is out of use, with significant community pressure to restore this link which has been dormant for over 10 years.
The signal box has also seen no use for a similar period of time, since CTC signalling was introduced over 10 years ago over the entire Main South Line by ARTC.

Another great thing about being in the high Sierra is the darkness. This was shot from camp in Desolation Valley. With the sound of a waterfall to keep me company I sat in the darkness for 45 minutes shooting this.
This is a composite of 80 thirty second exposures. I stacked the shots together using this easy to use and free program called Startrails. You can download it here: www.startrails.de/html/software.html
Typically to get this effect I will take at least 30 minutes worth of exposures (30 - 2 minutes is a good length) and then one exposure for a foreground if I want to light paint or something then one exposure with the lens cap on (for averaging the blackness in the program). All of that is with the same settings. Then I throw it into the program and viola - a few seconds later I have this!
The great thing about stacking star shots is no noise. The bad thing (if you consider it bad) is you have to sit there and press the shutter every 30 seconds (or however long you choose your exposures). But when you get to lay back and watch shooting stars it's an easy payoff.
Just a little side note - it's always fascinating to see the different colors in each star. When you look at the night sky with the naked eye all the stars look white.

With Tanjong Pagar Railway Station being open during a public holiday, I took the opportunity to take as many photos as I could before its original look is soon lost to redevelopment. That also meant a lot of people at the station that day, so that meant some form of creativity was needed to make the best of every limited space.
Nice canyon: colorful, twisty but not too twisty, with lizards to keep us company and a kickass view from a scramble at the end.
(map location is "close enough")

This is the same unnamed lake as my last two shots from Desolation Valley. For this shot I tried to simplify the scene to focus on the reflection more. I chose to go vertical - as I always try to do unless the composition is better horizontally - in part because magazine covers are vertical ;o). I think it draws more attention to the center of the image and it keeps my eye on the most dramatic part of the sky/reflection. It was an amazing sunset that evening but the reflections were what really made it special.
This is a two exposure manual blend.

Not unless you mail them from Desolation Row.
"Desolation Sound has always been inhabited by tribes of the Tla'amin and falls within the traditional territories of the Klahoose First Nation, Tla'amin Nation, and Homalco First Nations. In the summer of 1792, two expeditions led by Captains George Vancouver, Dionisio Alcalá Galiano and Cayetano Valdés y Flores arrived and cooperated in mapping the sound. Vancouver named it Desolation Sound, cryptically claiming that "there was not a single prospect that was pleasing to the eye"

Desolation Valley is literally covered in lakes that are so small and shallow (and on a calm day) that they have phenomenal reflections. This is the perfect example.
This is an unnamed lake at sunrise with Jack's Peak in the background. I used Photomatix's Exposure Fusion to blend two images then took it into Photoshop for the finishing touches.

Trapped in a realm of desolation and solitude, longing for something she can't have. The colorful background and scenery is supposed to contrast with the model's feelings.
I go through phases of loving/hating my work, along with being incredibly inspired and lacking all inspiration and motivation. I've been in kind of a slump and haven't felt like photographing much. (I also very much dislike the new flickr, so I haven't really wanted to be on much) But I think I just need to commit to a project and stick with it, regardless of if I'm lacking motivation or feel like giving up. One of my biggest problems is that without a car, I have no real way of getting to the locations that I imagine/plan for my photos and I don't really have anyone who cares enough to be willing to take me. Anyway, I took this photo a few months ago and never posted it. Posting it now. It's a good indication of the direction I'm going to be going with my photography.
