Warm tones as sun was starting to set, shadows getting long as you can see. Phot has a bit more red tones than on the web after converted to srgb.

I am actually fortunate with this photo as it was one of the few i could salvage from a hard drive crash while on the road.

You'll never, never know if you never, never go!!

Truer words were never spoken - particularly with regard to the Northern Territory. What an opportunity and what a well timed capture. Well done.

Not to nit-pick but I wonder how it might have been with a tilt/shift lens of some sort? The one thing that really tries digital capture is resolving minute detail in the distance and perhaps it could do with all the help it can get.

Out of interest, what lens and aperture were you engaging here?

Cheers,

Sheetshooter, can you explain how a tilt/shift in this instance would bring out more detail in the subjects that are in the distance?
I've looked at these lenses (as you do when browsing) and I've seen them used from architectural shots to stitched panos.

Thanks Sheetshooter, I was using a nikkor 18-35 at approx 20-22mm.

I agree a tilt shift would have helped with overall detail but alas not in my bag! You do have to be careful with this lens such as "tilting" forward etc as lens distortion increases.

I loved this lens when I had my F100 but not happy since loosing my wide angle due to the magnification, that aside it is still a great lens.

G'day LD,
Love the tonings and colours, maybe if the mountain(?) was a bit of centre??? Was the hard drive in a laptop or storage device?

Sheetshooter,

I am curious also.

Mt Connor is quite interesting as it belongs to the same ridge that gives us Ayers rock and the Olgas. The three are in a straight line. Mt Connor is also known as the 'false ayers rock' as it confuses tourists who are on their way to the 'rock.'

Nice image but what i like most of all is the interesting and complicated foreground. Altought the sky is nice i much prefer the ground and the nicely varied central Australian tundra.

Well done and i am glad you were able to salvage this one.

Rather than derail Paul's thread I shall respond to the TILT/SHIFT subject in a new thread in Tips & Techniques.

Cheers,

Great shot Paul, Fantastic country out there
