Bright Barron
April 3rd 2021.
When I am busy with work and cannot get away my favourite local place to take a break in the bush is Barron Gorge. From a photography point of view that has been very frustrating of late. A lot of the time we have heavy cloud or no cloud. When there is no cloud late afternoon Barron Gorge can be very bright.

One of the things I do when the sun is too bright for landscape photos is to watch the kayakers and take photos for them. As you can see from above the light is too bright for even that.

On better days with a bit of cloud the light is a lot softer. On this day it was a bit too cloudy but once again that has been the Gorge of late. Most of the kayakers know me so I pass the photos onto them.

Once the sun drops below the top of the gorge things start to get darker very quickly. If the kayakers come down the river after that it is usually too dark for me to photograph them.

About sunset I make my way to whatever spot I have decided to be that day. As you can see from this photo the muddy water from the recent rain is not a great look. Also I had low grey clouds under the high clouds blocking out the start of the sunset colour. This continued into the after burn.

This shot from late March is about the nicest I have been able to get of late. In the Gorge it is really the after burn you are waiting for and that usually happens once it is almost dark. It is a very small window in which you need mother nature to align everything at the end of the Gorge.

I was talking to the kayakers and they were saying how wonderful the sky had been of late and they are right. It has been spectacular in the Gorge but just never in the right place for me at the right time :(
