Firstly, I went back to the Botanic Gardens where I photographed yesterday. After looking at the photos on the computer last night, I realised that some of the photos showed too much light reflection off the leaves, so today I went back and took some more using a polarizing filter. Unfortunately, even though the filter was effective, the afternoon sun didn't provide the same "fresh" green as I captured yesterday morning. Oh well, I learn something each time.
Later on, I drove up to the top of Black Mountain to see what was available for picture-taking. The Botanic Gardens are at the base of Black Mountain, so this involved driving out of the Gardens, turning right, driving about 100m, then turning onto the road that goes to the top of the mountain.
I didn't want to catch the lift to the observation deck as I expect to do that in a few days time when Fay's friend arrives to visit for a few days. So I was content to just wander around and snap a few shots.
This is the Telstra Tower at the top of Black Mountain. The sky looks really blue because I was using a circular polarizing filter.
Here is a close-up of the tower, standing just outside the entrance at its base.
