Rocky Creek Canyon - 19 December 2015

Party - Albert, Dave
Albert and myself spent a weekend visiting and photographing some of
the nice canyons in the Blue Mountains. Our first canyon was Rocky
Creek Canyon.
Rocky Creek canyon is a deep and dark canyon and always quite cold.
So it is hard to photograph. We had a bright sunny day - and so the
light was very contrasty. In these conditions it is best to avoid
directly lit sections of the canyon and photograph areas lit by
reflected light. We went down the canyon and then back up it.
Above - this poor goanna must have fallen into the canyon. It looked
very cold. It was trying to get into the sun.
Above - the goanna was following the sun (while it lasted!)
After the canyon we headed of to camp at a nice place above Carne
Creek. After setting up our tents, we headed out to a nearby lookout
to take a few photos of the spectacular gorge of Carne Creek.

The next day we visited The River Caves Canyon
and later The Grand
Canyon.
