Tim Taplin and modest joy, NSW

Ain’t this quaint? But, don’t get too excited, too quick. “This photo makes the day look deceivingly uncrowded,” says the photographer, Zander. “But there was actually a swarm of boogers around the peak. I walked up early without really checking it, a few of the sets were wedging on themselves and boogers flipping everywhere and it looked like it’d be hard to pick. Just as I was setting up to shoot, my CF card had a meltdown but luckily Tim had the trusty Canon G15. It’s actually fun shooting with a G15 because it doesn’t let you zoom in too much, so you get some good photo compositions…” Oh, we ain’t saying much about the spot, are we? That’s how it’ll stay, too.
