Sheepie's Jenolan pics

Hi all - just got home (well, about an hour ago really!), and had a look at the pics from the weekend. Am really thrilled with the outcomes, and the opportunity to have done this - thanks again go to Nigel!

Here's a couple of teasers (no doubt people will soon be sick of all these cave pics!)...

WB was manually done AFTER the shoot, as I shot everything RAW. The main reason for this is some shots were with a flash, others without, and still others (eg: the column un Lucas Cave) with both!

Minimal PP other than sharpening and slight levels adjustment where necessary - am too tired atm to do anymore :wink:

One last one before bed time:

Awesome. Just went to post my skeleton shot and saw yours so held off. I guess we'll see lots of duplicates.

The lighting on the broken column really makes a greate shot even better. I think my favourite though is the last one you've posted here.

And the boys and the banner is not only a great shot, but a damn clever idea. How far into the coffee liqueur did this one occur?

Oh, and your pics make mine look ordinary :cry: :cry:

Excellent stuff Leon... Love the one of the column through the doorway. That was a very clever shot... (I saw it being taken)...

Where are the rest?

A definitive duck shot. It's obviously a stuffed toy placed on a sheet of gladwrap with a background blended in. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

The "graffitti" shot you've posted here was a good find and well executed.

I also like the lighting and colour in this shot, but my two favourites are this one (in a previous post and with some credit to MHD) and the one below:

Thanks Stubbsy - the shot you refer to (see below) was down at the campsite. I used a Cokin Grad ND filter on this one, to try and even up the lighting, and am reasonably pleased with the results:
Image

The graffitti shot was pointed out to a couple of us at the reflections, and I managed to stay back a bit and get it once everyone was 'out of the way' (would have blocked everyone if I had got it while they were there!). Had to do a bit of playing with contrast etc to bring out the writing, but again am quite happy with the result :)
