Craigs Hut set in the heart of Alpine Victoria was purpose-built for the iconic and popular movie from the 80’s called “The Man From Snowy River”. Over the years the hut has come across many hardships and has burnt down a number of times only to be rebuilt by groups of dedicated people to bring it back to its former glory.
1. Craigs Hut | Mansfield
I have only ventured to the location twice in my career and each time has been very rewarding. The track isn’t the easiest to get too and you need a good 4WD to get there which is a blessing as when you get to this location odds are you will have the place to yourself. My collection of images from this location are a mix of shots taken on my panoramic slide film camera and some that are on a digital camera and shot as a stitched panoramic. Both processes yield a really high-quality final result.
Looks like an incredible location Matt, not a bad spot to retire to.
Glad to hear you’re slowing becoming more indoctrinated by digital 😀
Nice ones Matt, like the top one.
It’s still my favourite movie of all time, however, I’d prefer the bark roof rather than the tin.
love the first image Matt!!
that’s the new angle I was looking for before! 🙂
very very nice
see I told ya!! I would like a bit more colour in these Matt, think Peter Lik meets Ken Duncan.!!!
I really like the composition of the first one, Matt.
I like both of them. Awesome location to shoot some photos! Great work Matt.
You were quite right, Matt, when you said that it’s hard to find a new composition for shooting Craig’s Hut. I was there last Saturday and I’ve found that this hut was already photographed from all best spots. 🙂 The rock before the “roundabout” at the top photo, the place on meadow near the entrance.
Really like the last one with the light inside the hut.
Great shots, I still prefer the one from the previous post though, that was awesome. For me, these two need a bit more colour, warm the foreground a lot as the grass is somewhat dead, and maybe a bit of curves or levels, just to “pop” everything a bit more.
