Max Rittner, The heart of the West Macs (LANDSCAPE & ENVIRONMENT 2026)

Captured from Counts Point Lookout, this image highlights the rhythmic ochre ridges shaped by wind, time, and desert fire. Under cloud‑softened light, the ranges feel both immense and quietly intimate — a moment of solitude held above the outback. Canon R5 with 70-200 f2.8 @157mm 1/200 f11 iso 400
