Hi guys,

Just thought I would post up a few pictures I took about three weeks ago from down the road and around the corner...

A very autumny feel about those Alex- you have some great local landscapes to capture down there!

Also, the reflection of some of those trees in the lake looks very FSXey, don't you think?

Cool pictures.Nice to have a variation of pictures rather than just aeroplanes.
Looks nice and quiet. Is that out at Lake Rotoiti? Thanks for sharing.

Those are some nice pictures Alex.
Wasn't there a photo sharing thread here as well recently?

:lol:

Trolly is right, the reflections are a bit FS X-ish.

There was a thread, true.
But no matter, these are so good they deserve their own topic.
You have a good eye, Alex.
Screenshots, now photos...man's an artist!

So are you saying that his photos are cr@p and look simulated... or that FSX reflections are life-like??

Seriously tho... those are some simply stunning landscapes... the colours are just spectacular... especially #4 with the house nestled in amongst the trees... stunning! :drool:

you should sell them to iStockphoto... you never know, the labour govt (or aussie govt) might want to use them for an advertising campaign

Pretty bizarre that a story like that makes it onto national news, mind you, at least its a little more light-hearted and entertaining than the usual stories about bomb-attacks, failing economies and disease

BTW, nice pics Alex.. Autum is such a great time to be out with the camera. How many of you guys are using Flickr or anything similar to host your pics, why not post a link to your collection here so we can follow each other, no doubt there are plenty of aircraft and fsim screenies amongst them. Here's mine..

It think it is because the lake water is so still that the reflections arn't too blurred and reflect almost perfectly, which FSX likes to do, however rough the water should appear!

A few non-aviation pictures from me...
