Last week I showed you the tree on a rock from Binalong Bay and told you how I had gone there specifically to get that tree. I hadn’t thought anymore about trees on rocks after that, but then . . .
A couple of days later we were in Coles Bay to look around and on the first morning there my friend and I headed out to Tourville Lighthouse and lookout. It is part of the Freycinet National Park. It is a lovely part of Tasmania. We headed to the lookout for sunrise and we got a lovely one, which I will share with you tomorrow for Silent Sunday. Two of the images you may have seen before and 3 of them are new to the blog.
Once the sun was up, not that we really saw it because it was quite overcast we headed back. Then we saw this little place called Honeymoon Bay and we had to take a look.
As we were walking around I saw this tree and thought I should have a go and see what I could get. This is what I got.
I think this was my favourite image from the trip. Don’t get me wrong, I loved the one last week, but it was also a photo that lots of people used to take when the tree was still there. This one was a surprise and I had no idea there would be another tree on a rock at Honeymoon Bay. I don’t think I have ever seen anyone else do this shot. I’m sure people have, but the images aren’t everywhere.
I hope you like it as much as I do.
It is a long exposure and was a 2 minute exposure. It was taken with an ISO of 50 and the aperture was f10. I never know if those things help, but there you are. It was taken with a tripod and I used a ND filter, I can’t remember which, but it would have been either a 10 or 13 stop. I think I will go with the 13. I was using my D800 and I used the 24-70mm lens at the focal length of 28mm for the shot
Let me know if the technical stuff helps.
Fabulous shot Leanne … 2 minutes! The tech stuff is nearly beyond me 😊
Thank you Julie, yeah, 2 minutes. Haha, that’s okay, I just put it because for some reason people like it, no idea why.
Oh this is a fine art pic, Leanne ❤️!
Thank you PR.
Like a beautiful painting!
I like your description Amy, thank you.
You’ve shared some beautiful images in this series, but this might be my favourite of the bunch so far!
Thank you Sarah, I love this one too, so far it is the only one I have on my wall.
Lovely images (and I do like reading the about the camera settings).
I used to be pretty lazy and take most photos on similar settings in my cameras, so admittedly, I don’t know much about the best camera settings. It’s not until I download the days photography that I find out if I’ve got anything worth keeping or sharing.
Thank you Vicki, okay, I will have to remember about that in the future.
I think the settings are something you have to make yourself think about. I find that easy, but the thing I am lazy with is stuff like changing lenses. I can be very lazy about doing that.
That is an amazing photo.
Thank you Jean.
Wow! This is magnificent.
Thank you Egidio.
Beautiful shot 😍
Thank you Brian.
Such drama, and a great result.

Wow, two minutes!
Yeah, 2 minutes, thank you Geoff.
This is such a helpful guide—thanks for posting it.
Thanks.
Beautiful image!
Thank you.
Oh Leanne, this is beautiful!!
Thank you Anne, I had it printed on metal and it hangs on my wall so I see it all the time.
The technical stuff really helps! Thanks!
That is good to hear Bernadette, though not something I will do all the time. Thank you.
WOW!!!! What depth.
Thank you.
Great image, Leanne! Love the cloud, and the impression of stillness
Thank you Sue, I love that stillness too.
Strong dream-like effect!
Thank you Robert.
