Been a while, so here's a couple from last night.






Hope you like.

Hi Adam, I like both these images. The wave in #1 looks good and the breaking water in the foreground of #2 works as well. Where were these taken? I thought you were heading for Cradle Mt not the coast?

Cheers
John

Great Pictures!

Not sure if you were going for the soft look but have you tried sharpening them up a bit? - They seem very soft (might be my monitor)

Might be
(a) 18-70 kit lens
(b) an experiment in post processing.

I took several images from here, near Preservation Bay which is between Penguin and Burnie. Of my results, in each example here I made a HDR file in Photomatix from the data from one RAW file which was under exposed by one stop.
I then played with detail enhance under tone mapping, then saved. Then opened it in PS and auto-contrast. Save as jpg, then resized using Image Resize Powertoy, which compresses the bejesus out of it - turned an 8Mb jpg into about 60kb.
Result - a bit soft...

Yes John, I have done the Overland track. But I have 1500 photos to sort and it all seems too daunting at the moment... I need a better work flow.

Cheers!

So here's my photoshopping efforts on the same raw files







And here's the original basic jpg as shot






I've got a lot to learn about photoshopping.

First one if my pick. Nice colours, not too strong.

Sometimes I get so invovled in Photoshop the end result is so ugly I need to start all over again... being carried away in Photoshop is so easy to do..

Yeah def. number 1 for me
