Max Rittner, Look deep into the landscape (LANDSCAPE 2026)

This is Mbantua, Central Australia. Following several rain events the landscape awakens, the animals and trees recover from poor times, the wildflowers emerge. The morning sky has a light scattering of cloud, overnight rain has dampened the soil, ideal conditions to take the dogs out for a walk and camer in hand to capture an image of the natures beauty. The equipment of choice was a Fujinon 55mm f2.2 lens adapted to a Canon R5; lightweight and easy to carry while walking through the hills and valley between the Alice Springs township and rugged ridge of Mount Gillen.
