The famous tree is situated somewhere on Kangaroo Island South Australia, I took this shot 2 years ago and found on the island
to get a tree and composition that is not surrounded by Aussie brush is harder than one might think.
I got the exposure not quite right and spend 2 days without success looking for the tree.HM my 2D does not have Geo tagging!
I wanted the top to be a little better rendered in camera for a book I am working on.
So Google earth located a plausible spot which I did not visit, in 10 days on the island chasing light and shooting I covered 3000 km.

May I ask, what EI?

Bazz8, roughly what part of KI was this tree ? Been a few years since I've been down but I loved KI so much. Remarkable Rocks and Hampton Bay, well pretty well all of the Island really. Next time down will spend more time in Flinders Chase

Probably around 100-160; The negative ended up denser than I like for scanning, but it worked fine. I'd recommend a little less exposure, but my shutter goes no quicker than 1/50 which is probably not even that fast.

Fred L it was down the Sth Western end on the way to Remarkable Rocks. I did not get the exact name or location which was frustrating to say the least,
the Whole island is wonderful in regards to photo graphical opportunities and remains fairly untouched in comparison to the mainland.
The chase is great and my wife and I did 6 stops in the chase at least over the 10 days,the canopy of gums over the brush attracts me and If i lived near a redwood forest in
America i would be in there almost forever.

Here they are used alike.

I once saw some guys tip one over door side down with a friend? inside. Then they ran away...

Good lord! Nobody needs that. This one actually blew over during a heavy windstorm and that was bad enough. Those two pieces of rebar you can see in the photo are part of a workman's makeshift attempt to secure it more firmly in place.
