I travelled with my wife to a Sunday lunch at a country pub in Mitta Mitta, VIC. Along the way we stopped at the top of the Dartmouth Dam, one of the largest in Australia.

Lunch was at Mitta Mitta, alongside the banks of the river of the same name. I tried some shots of the highly detailed landscape across the water using my Nikon F6, Tamron 45mm f/1.8 lens and Kodak Ektar 100.
This lens is not all I hoped it would be. The vibration reduction technology, as with all Tamrons I own, is outstanding but the glass doesn’t really sharpen up until f/4. Even at f/8 as here, I am still not seeing what I expected. I like the focal length so I will go back to using the Voigtlander 40mm f/2 outdoors.

The shot below is from Wikipedia, showing the river flowing through some of the most beautiful countryside in Victoria. Water from the Mitta-Mitta that survives towns and farming flows into the Southern Ocean near Adelaide, about 2,100km away.
