Finally....

Approx 1 year ago the Girraween N.P. was severely burnt out. it's been bone dry ever since - up until about 3 weeks ago when we had some storm rain. The black trunks are finally shooting!!!

Amazing how fast mother nature reacts and new life shoots out.

[Wylie]

A fantastic rendition of new growth. fav

Very pretty image. Mother nature can take care of herself - we have only to let it do its works without our interference.

[Jacqueline]

Beautiful! The background works as a great frame too.

Reminded me of wooden inlay in a tabletop somehow. Fascinating shot.

[Etienne]

A great illustration of the sharp contrast between the white forms of life and the black immobility of death

@fbailey It is FB - but I can't remember what setting I had it on but I know I didn't have to do anything to it, it's sooc. It shows as F4.5 so it can't have been the normal Aperture Control F8 that was recommended? It's all fairly confusing - using any setting other than his recommended one gives such a huge range of results - lots of them bright pink! When I've got more time I'm going to try to do an organized set of experiments and try to get to know how to control it better! Thanks for your interest. Cheers Rob

[Peter H]

Wonderful.

[Babs]

How wonderful to see new life, especially at the moment where so much of our country is suffering.

[Wendy]

This is so great to see nature heal herself! let's hope it continues.
This is a great shot with the new growth in such stark contrast against the blackened trunk.

@casablanca You know what Casablanca - it does indeed look like an inlay - ivory in ebony! :)

[Lesley]

Wonderful in two ways, artistically and more importantly a sign of new life.
