About 10 minutes out of Launceston is an old tennis racket factory, tree reserve, called Hollybank. The factory is long gone, but the regimented trees have been “parkified”, making it a beautiful and soothing place to be.
I have been going there for most of my life, sometimes regularly, such as over the last few years for photography, but always at least once a year or so for picnics etc.
Plenty of regular landscape compositions (if the light is kind). The lack of autumn colour surprised me, as Hollybank often goes off before town, being a little cooler, but not this year.
We chose it today as for our latest photo-group get together for landscape shooters, looking at tele lenses, wide lenses for low near-far techniques and for macro. It can be a tough place to get the perfect shot. The light can be harsh, fickle even, but with a little experimentation, there is lots of potential.
