A few random photographs

Here are a few photographs I've captured at random locations over the last couple of months.  Capturing the first two scenes in monochrome accentuates the clouds in the sky.

The first is a dilapidated fence at Mernda.

 ... and a hay bale in a paddock captured through the wire fence.  By using a polarizing filter the contrast of the clouds in the sky are emphasised.

This waterfall is at Stanley Park in Macedon.  The shutter speed has been slowed to 0.3 seconds to emphasise the running water through the stream.

My last photo was taken this weekend, at Erskine Falls in Lorne.  Unfortunately there were so many tourists walking along the rocks at the bottom of the falls I wasn't able to capture the full scene, so I zoomed in to photograph the detail of the water falling on the rocks.
