Lake Pedder and friends

Sun 20 Mar, 2011 4:22 pm

Managed to make it down to the 'new' Lake Pedder this weekend as a site visit for my graduate project. I don't think I've ever seen it so still! Wonderful day generally and doubly so as I had the opportunity to introduce a Malaysian friend from KL to this amazing part of the world :)

This was also the last trip for my Oly E-3 and ZD 12-60 SWD, both of which are on their way to new homes this week. A new Panasonic GH2 is flying from the US as we speak :)

Nice part of the world eh?
Has a bit of a sadness to it IMHO though.....

Nice pics too :)

It is quite a poignant drive up to Maydena to Scotts Peak - the contrasts of wilderness and industry (logging, Florentine Valley camp, dams, mountains...) give you a lot to think about...

Great photos mate. I particularly like the one of the steps on the dam wall (the last one). That rust on the concrete looks gnarly!

I'm curious why you're heading to the GH2. Will you be shooting lots of video? You'll have to write a review :D

Hi Dave, I mainly went with the GH2 because of size... I'm travelling a lot more now than I was and I've found the E-3, especially with the big Zuiko glass, to be too cumbersome in a lot of situations. The GH2 gives me similar speed and quality, but in a much more compact package (especially when you include the glass). It'll be interesting to see how much I miss weather sealing though, my last two bodies have both had it...

The excellent video was also a big factor :)
