Not only is a kayak a great fitness machine but it gets me around the flat water rivers and lakes to enjoy and photograph their unique landscape, near on impossible otherwise.
With a cruising speed of around 50k/h on good going, the 4x4 bike and trailer carry photography gear, camp and tucker over considerable distances, allowing camping on site for the best light.
On the mountain bike I travel close enough to the ground and slow enough to see quite a bit that may otherwise be missed. Of course, the bike is mainly for travel on rural roads and tracks.
With a pack on my back, it's often not necessary to cover a great distance to capture the wilderness landscape. Anything from a few hundred metres to 15km can make a great day out in an isolated environment.
Lesley got going quite early travelling out to Angledale, about 15km from home, to captured the early morning mist on the Brogo River and again from the hill top overlooking the Brogo River valley, toward Cooma.
There's a lot of moisture around to generate plenty of fog since we've had some good rain lately. This also accounts for the generous flow in the river.
The rising sun interacts with the fog making for a misty, moody landscape, the photographic style that Lesley is noted for.
