Bushwalk Australia

Is it even possible to have just one favourite? It might be one of your own.

I've always loved Dombrovskis' Morning light on Little Horn, which is in the National Library of Australia digital collection.


Do you have a favourite photo, or maybe a favourite collection or gallery?


Edit: PS: I believe it is OK to link to pictures so long as you acknowledge the copyright owner and the source site.

I doubt I could choose just one favourite WalkinTas but 'Morning Light on Little Horn' is definitely in my top 5, what a photo. Another one that I'd nominate would be 'Myrtle tree in rainforest, Mount Anne, southwest Tasmania, 1984' as it has that same surreal dreamike quality to it. Honestly though, I have 3 Dombrovskis books and if I started to flick through any one of them it would just get harder and harder to choose a favourite



I'm pretty happy with one or two of my recent photos so they go on the list too! Especially a few that I took one early morning down along the rocky NSW coast at Diggers Camp

Here's some of mine. I love the Truchanas ones, but they are depressing.

I'll have to put up two lots

Here's some others...the best is last.

Good to see some favourites are black and white, as are mine.
Link here to one of my fav's,photo.net won't let me direct link EDIT fixed by Mod, left link as well.
It's a photo by John McLaine.

@Swifty I love the second one, that is sensational. @Drifting, I too like Ansel Adams work. The pre-digital guys were something weren't they. @Tastrax, I'd love just a week at the Antarctic with a camera, but probably will never happen

@pham_Tom we should maybe have a one-off competition some day were folk can enter their very best-ever all-time greatest photo, regardless of when they took it. I reckon we might get a few really great entries. Of course, they could just post them here!

Lots of inspirational photos, its always good to find new stuff thanks for sharing. I love that one by Ansel Admas too drifting, I think its called 'The Tetons and the Snake River'. Obvious but skilled use of dodging and burning there...

Somehow I don't think Ansel was ever going to qualify as an UltraLight hiker


Heres the link to someone else whos work I admire, Charles Cramer, who has some amazing images, there's even a couple in his galleries of/from Wombat Moor, Tassie.

& heres another one of my favourites, not only because I like the photo but because of the memories it brings back of that particular afternoon. I was staying at a friends place in Byron Bay up near a lookout and went to watch this monstrous storm front rolling up the coast from the south. There was intense & constant lightning, a huge shelf cloud and masses upon masses of wildly coloured cumulonimbus that was hard to describe, raw, scary, awesome? , anyway it was a totally surreal scene. The thing that I remember most was looking across at a small group of people who were standing nearby sharing a joint and noticing that the girls' hair was standing on end. Not just a few stray strands but bunches of it and I could also feel it on my arms and neck. I had a strong urge to run away but was conflicted by wanting to stay and watch the storm unfold, I ended up staying until the first lightning strikes occured that had little/no separation between the flash and the bang and then bolted back to the relative safety of the house
