By 2008 the 300D (along with a 28-135 lens that I had bought for it; it was and is an awful, awful lens...) had been relegated to living at the office and accompanying me out on lunchtime shooting trips.

Weekend getaways such as this one to the Minnamurra Rainforest near Kiama in the lower Illawarra belonged to the 40D, usually with the 24-105 f/4 up front. I had of course encountered the idea of "framing" (using some objects in a photo to draw attention to others) but as we see here it was more a notion than a practice. (Not that I could truly "frame" the waterfall with the trees anyway without a chainsaw.)

On this particular trip I noticed that I was also playing with time value and blurring the water. Not this one, so much; obviously f/5 is not the way to do that.
