All great shots. Especially like No 2 - with the sun rays thru the mist in the foreground.
Great colurs and sharp where needs to be and vic verser.

I can't ever remember you commenting on one of my shots before (not to say you haven't) so this is high praise.
Steve - the suns rays were what made the shot for me too.
Leon, thanks for your comments also and I certainly intend to frame that one.
This shot is a great example of how I knew it would be great even BEFORE it took the shot drove down three side roads before I found the right angle though). Interestingly this also had next to no PP unlike the panorama I took at the same location.

Posted: Tue Mar 22, 2005 6:27 pmAbsolutely beautiful Peter, the pics i mean. That fog in the valley pic is truly awesome.
Well done.
Well done.
Posted: Tue Mar 22, 2005 6:29 pmSuperb work stubbsy!
I can recall a thread from ages ago where we were all lamenting how difficult it is to photograph these well-known spots.
You have just shown us how!

Posted: Tue Mar 22, 2005 6:47 pmMorning mist is just superb - the right place - the right time - the right person
Posted: Tue Mar 22, 2005 7:26 pmGreat job, these are splendid.
I think I've seen the top one before. This is so crisp though, and the cloudy shapes are always a nice touch. The second one is great too, although I find my eyes wander off of the right side a tad to see more of the glorious cloud. There are people in the bottom pic, and it looks like they are casually walking into that huge rock! How do they do this?

Posted: Tue Mar 22, 2005 7:42 pmNice, stubbsy....maybe a bit of work could be done on the 1st to bring some of the detail out of the shadows?

There's a footbridge to the rock, but not inside it, just to a ledge at the edge.
And "that rock" is one third of one of our national treasures! They're called The Three Sisters
Posted: Tue Mar 22, 2005 9:15 pm1 and 3 excellent shots. Like other viewers, I think 2 is something very special. Comosition here is brilliant as well as the breathtaking illumination.
Posted: Tue Mar 22, 2005 9:16 pmGreat shots Peter, I lived in the Blue Mountains for years and you've captured some of the beautiful moments that occur up there.
