Jodie Nash, Bush Colour (February theme: Colour)

This was taken seven years ago before I knew what I know now in maximising light so it's quite grainy. I was trying to quickly get to my mum's house in country Victoria but a storm was approaching and I was worried about kangaroos being out. Yet the light was incredible so I stopped, lent against a tree, not wanting to spend the extra time getting my tripod out, and took this shot. Taken with my Nikon D700, @ 28mm (not sure which lens), f/5.0, exposure 1/320.
