This is great. How about a few more - maybe a B & W?

Here's another couple:

I never thought I'd say this, but I think the sky in these is a little too blue. Otherwise these are good - have a really alien feel to them.

Yeah - the old C-POL was working OT. That is how they are captured; there is virtually no saturation - just a bit of warmth to the foreground - in the PP.

We took the long way there, I think its only a few hours drive.
Time of day - from about 4pm till 7pm (sunset).
If you go to my gallery -> http://www.dionm.net/gallery/v/Trips/20 ... Pinnacles/ and look at the EXIF data, subtract 2hrs (I didn't change my cameras time from Brisbane time while there) you'll see the exact time of day I took the photos
Sunset is best for photos there, with the warm afternoon light. We stayed in Cervantes, which is about 20mins from the Pinnacles. I wouldn't want to try and drive back to Perth from there after sunset, unless you have a good bullbar!

Posted: Wed Jan 04, 2006 9:14 amLooks fantastic Dion, love the colours... the terrain does really shout SCI-FI film to me... I'm sure there was some alien life form hiding in the background
Posted: Wed Jan 04, 2006 12:17 pmIt's a great place to visit although i have a memory of almost punching a Japanese tourist who pissed me off while i was there. I only had film in those days so i didn't shoot billions of images.
Interesting photos. The polariser certainly got a workout
