A Week of Landscapes (26/52) – Part 1

Well, after a massive break away from my camera, I have had to break this week up into parts because I just took too many photos this week and despite having culled quite a few down, there’s a few different photographic expeditions I wanted to highlight. This week was a culmination of many factors: exams finalising, purchase of a grad ND kit and a fair chunk of travel out of the city.

First off, I headed out to the Blue Mountains. Wentworth Falls to be precise. This is my first time that I got to properly test out my 70-200 2.8L since I got it a month or so ago. I also took my UWA along since I knew that there would be quite a few good landscape opportunities. Wentworth Falls was beyond anything that I had imagined.

From the car park, you walk down to Fletcher's Lookout, you can see how far I have to climb down (and back up again - that was the worst)

Regardless, it was certainly worth the trek down (and up again). I would recommend anyone do it.

I also wandered along the Charles Darwin Walk and here is where you would walk if you wanted to see a tonne of birdlife.
