The recent rains have opened up all sorts of opportunities that have kept me on the road or in the air over the last few weeks.<\/p>\n

The most obvious result of those rains has been the greening of the countryside over a wide area of the Flinders Ranges and Outback.<\/p>\n

It is something of a shock to see such areas of green when you are so used to the brown and yellow hues that normally cover the land.<\/p>\n

From the air it is very evident.<\/p>\n

The Wooltana Station homestead nestling up against the foothills of the Flinders Ranges is surrounded in a Green carpet<\/p>\n

After rains the vegetation takes on a rather striking shade of green.<\/p>\n

It’s almost iridescent as seen here on both side of the Nepowie Range near the Gammon Ranges National Park.<\/p>\n

The time of day could have a bearing on this.<\/p>\n

The image above was taken mid afternoon..the other two, top and bottom, in the early morning.<\/p>\n

Further north you could almost imagine playing an extended round of golf on the plains near the Beverley Uranium mine.<\/p>\n

The bunkers could be \u00a0a bit savage though.<\/p>\n

In the world of digital photography, green seems to be the colour most difficult to capture correctly. Whether that’s an Adobe Photoshop or Lightroom thing I am not sure. It could be just me.<\/p>\n

However I have found that taking \u00a0care to get exposures right is the best way round this.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
