Tong's Hole

This is a new trail that has been opened up that takes you down from West Belconnen to the Molonglo River.

I had a quick trip there to explore its possibilities, so I just took my OM-5 and a 12-100mm f4 pro lens.

The trail starts off with a slow descent but then becomes steeper as you approach the river.  The trail takes you to a swimming hole that seems quite protected.   There isn't a lot of beach space, but it looks like it would be good on a hot day.

Next time I will take my tripod to take a panorama.  Because of the steep cliffs opposite, you'd need to take the panorama in portrait orientation with a wide angle lens.

Molonglo River Park

 Time to restart this blog!  It's only been 10 years since I last posted.

Today I went for a walk in the Molonglo River Park.   I wanted to see it in Autumn on a nice cloudy day because it's hard to capture a nice forest when there's bright dappled sunlight around.   For the first half of the walk, it was nicely overcast but then the sun came out and made it more difficult to take photos.

Photos were taken using an OM System OM-5 with a 12-100 f4 pro zoom.

Next time I'll explore the riverbank rather than the forest.
