Today a group of us walked from Woolshed Gully, up Maggies Hill, across some connecting tracks, to finish up at Mt Lofty. The usual coffee, cake and bumping into other walkers we knew ensued. We returned via the Long Ridge Track, as the damp weather made Maggies Hill a too slippery option.
Although I brought my camera, I didn't really want to take any new photos as I have so much editing to do on the South American photos. But just before Mt Lofty my eye caught sight of some wattles flowering in brilliant yellow and just before returning to the cars I saw a privately-owned pond surrounded by lilies. The even (but subdued) lighting from the overcast sky and the wet foliage accentuated the depth of colour.
However, although the lighting is flat both flowers are over-exposed. The center of the wattle flower and the entire flower of the lily must be highly reflective. If I pass by these locations in the next few weeks, I'll try again using some manually set exposure compensation (say -1/2 stop).
