Audley reflections
If you are up for a bit of a hike, one of my favourite shorter distance ones is the Honeymoon track in the Royal National Park Sydney NSW, that leads to the river at Audley.
To get there you can park at the football fields at Lofus then head through the bush where you’ll find a dirt trail along side the train tracks. After 3km you’ll hit a steep set of stairs around 750m worth and at the bottom you will hit one of the best sights in the National Park.
From the car park it’s about a 1 hour return trip, approx 7km.
For today’s session I decided to get in before sunrise to get some early light and to beat the heat but also to try to get some nice reflections.
The key for a great reflection photo is for stillness in the water, giving it almost a look of glass. Ideally a lack of wind or people in it causing any disturbance is the ultimate goal. Which is made more possible by the early start.
To make sure your exposure is spot on you’ll need to expose for the highlight in the picture, if you were to expose for the lowlight it will blow out your chance of a pretty picture. And that is just disheartening. So aim for the highlights.
If you’re not up for the hike you can easily Just drive to Audley which is about a 5 minute drive from the Princess Highway entry at Loftus. There is paid parking in the National Park so be prepared for that too.
Shot on my IPhone 7 for a easier hike and some more mobility.
Til next time
