Lake Dobson, in Tasmania

[johnd]

Took these images on the weekend at Lake Dobson in Tasmania.

Parts of the lake had a thin layer of ice across it.


No ice showing in this corner of the lake.


I'm not sure which works better, landscape


or portrait

I like the portrait much more than the landscape orientation on the last one.

Wow, that looks a nice place to visit in Winter.

I too prefer the portrait version. It is better composed.

Thanks Glamy and Steve. Steve, I would have thought a Hobartian would have seen Lake Dobson in winter.

My wife and I are planning some a longer circuit walk in Mt Field National Park. There are literally hundreds of small lakes to be found and photographed. Only trouble is it's a 6 hour circuit walk we are planning and our photography strolls usually take 2 - 3 times as long as a straight out walk. Could be a cold night.

I don't get to visit 'home' very often, although I will be in Hobart next week. It's too wet and cold here in Nowra.

But don't worry, when i move permanently i will visit everything Tasmania has to offer and photograph it, if i haven't already.

Maybe we could have a Tassie minimeet sometime over Christmas period. i will make sure i am home then.

The best thing about Tasmania, is the contrast between summer and winter, in the same location. I reckon that Lake Dobson is an fine example of that. It is such so fortunate that Tasmania has a fantastic weather contrast, where this can happen. It's not something that happens any where on the Mainland, except maybe Thredbo area, where there is such a large difference in climates throughout the year.

Steve, that sounds like an excellent idea. If you let me know some dates closer to Christmas, I'll start getting something organised.

I normally don't like Portrait shots but have to agree with the rest, Portrait is the better of the two.
