Big Bend
Murray River, South Australia
Murray River, South Australia
We had been staying in Swan Reach which was slightly further south than we had been before on the Murray. The reason to come to this area was to photograph vistas of this iconic river, such as this example. In this region the cliffs seem bigger, the access is amazing and the end results, for us, were pretty memorable. This was at sunset and behind me the sky was lighting up, it was tempting to find another spot, to try to incorporate the light show. Though for me, the composition in this direction meant that I stayed the course and waited for the soft light to drift across to the eastern horizon.
The bend in the river here seems to just go on forever, it really wasn't possible to fit it all in one frame. I knew we wanted to get a result to be proud of. We had been here the night before and it was really windy, I thought to myself, there is a shot here, I just have to return when it is calmer.
