Katoomba and Leura Trip

[malificentmuse]

Went out on a hike with Cameron and a few friends to Katoomba and Leura today, it was my first time being there, the hike was relatively easy, however it was drizzling for a majority of it and the sky was whited out by fog. Regardless I enjoyed the experiences and have a few photos to share.




(Thank god for RAW, in the original photo, details were completely whited out by the fog in just a couple of meters).





The last photo was just a raw conversion with no editing, all done in camera

Would love to know what people think!

Alfred, it is great to see that you have been busy processing todays stuff!

I am just uploading mine now.

#1 just watch out for the blow out in the white water of the cascades

#2 I didnt even notice you take this, the lines work nicely as does the BW conversion

#4 I love it! Its awesome to know your tricks for this one.....very abstract painting like

Nice set and looks like you got some nice weather for this sort of photos. [Better than midday sun anyway]

#1 i would have preferred to use a longer shutter speed. Since there is that white bit on the top, HDR could have been an option etc...

#2 love the misty lines etc Do you have the color image for this that you can post??

#4 is very cool. You have pretty steady hands to get the rotation right! Rather painterly like and I think it may even print well; rather large.... Watch those highlights though.

Thanks!

Yeah, HDR isn't something I've tried yet, so still plenty of learning to go!

Unfortunately for #2 I did a straight raw to b/w conversion, and it worked out well it seems
