Behind The Lens

Location

We took a cruise in the JimJim Creek, in Australia's Kakadu National Park. We picked the best time of year for our visit; the 'Run Off', just after the 'Wet'. The main objective was spotting crocodiles, but we saw much more besides.

Time

Mid-morning

Lighting

Not really.

Equipment

Nikon D40X. with the standard lens.

Inspiration

Back home in England, we normally only see stuff like this in a formal garden or botanical gardens. Seeing it growing in the wild was a real treat.

Editing

No

In my camera bag

Usually, only a Gorilla-pod. I don't like to burden myself with too much gear.

Feedback

This is one of those occasions when you find something camera-worthy when you were looking for something else. Therefore, you should keep your camera ... or some means of making images ... within reach at all times.
