I'm currently staying in a wilderness lodge----Lemonthyme Lodge --- in the rainforest adjacent to the iconic Cradle Mountain National Park, which I will visit and explore today. If the pre-paidmobile broadband is working a treat, then photographing the wilderness sure is difficult.
The rain forest is messy, there is a monochrome greenness to everything, the sunlight in the dark spaces makes conditions difficult, and it is to hard lugging medium format camera's and heavy tripods for hours on end. I'm just not set up for this kind of photography.

My initial solution is to concentrate on detail in the more open areas of the rain forest.The second solution is to explore a space that is easily accessible so that I can walk in with the medium format camera's and heavy tripods. The third solution is to use a digital camera when walking sections of the Overland Track.
There was a Wilderness Photographic Gallery just outside the Cradle Mountain National Park that showcases the work of contemporary wilderness photographers.
