More WArthurs (LOTS of photos)

Postby north-north-west » Sat 06 Aug, 2011 6:49 pm

Finally finished uploading the least worst WArthurs shots, so it's time to share. I was kind of thinking that people could browse and post their favourites here. If they can be bothered. And that's assuming they don't think the whole lot are a pile of rubbish. Which really wouldn't surprise me. (Of course, the quality is reduced considerably, going through pb)(that my story and I'm sticking to it)
Be warned, however: there are HUNDREDS of images there, and if you do the slideshow thing you'll be there all night. Not that there's anything wrong with that . . .

So, to get the ball rolling, a brief overview:

Day 1: Scotts Peak to Cygnus (by way of Hesperus)
Image
Image

Day2: Cygnus to Oberon (inc Hayes, Orion & Sirius)
Image
Image

Day 3: Oberon to High Moor (inc Capricorn)
Image
Image

Day4: Return trip to Dorado & the Columbas
Image
Image
Image

Day 5: Weathered in at High Moor (which was blissful)
Image

Day 6: High Moor through the Beggary Bumps to Haven (inc a fogged-in Taurus)
Image
Image

Day 7: Aldebaran, return to Taurus
Image
Image

Day 8: Haven to Promontory (inc Scorpio, the Sculptor, Canopus and the sunset from Carina)
Image
Image

Day 9: Promontory to Rosanne (inc The Phoenix & Centaurus Ridge but, for obvious reasons, not West Portal)
Image
Image

Day 10: Rosanne to Wulwayo (or whatever it's called) Creek
Image
Image

Day 11: Back to Scotts Peak through the morning mist & mud

Fantastic pictures. Thanks for sharing. Makes me want to go. I don't have the gear, experience or head for heights though :cry:

Thanks for the photos and rekindling all those memories. Looks like you enjoyed very similar weather to us - we had it all, including a fabulous storm.

Nice work NNW, fantastic area isn't it! Looks like you generally had good weather for most of the trip too.

A couple of other photos that caught my eye while skimming through the rest of the photos were the below:

Great job NNW! :) Worth waiting for.

Very enticing "pile of rubbish"!

(just joking of course) :P

That's odd, I'm sure I had it set for public viewing. Just let me check.

(edit) Definitely open to the public. Odd.

Beautiful NNW. My fave is 467 but really too many faves to mention. And what's the story on some of the 'rain on the windscreen' shots like 499? Some of those are interesting.
We'll get fit on the way.

'rain on the windscreen'? Have I gone an uploaded some of the fancy filtering I play with when something's out of focus or overexposed? I really didn't mean to. Now I'm wondering whether I've loaded what I meant to or if someone's been fiddling with my list . . .
