G'day again,

Just played with a few more, they're also from the same walk around Dove lake...

You could easily spend a couple of days just walking around the lake, kicking myself I didn't bring my close-up filter as it's macro heaven in the rain forest areas of the walk...

Anyway, I'm wondering about the framing and the PP in these, would appreciate any suggestions etc... The tricky part with these was not blowing out the spot highlights of the snow on the mountain... That's where the two exposures are very handy

Please be ruthless on your feedback though as that's how I learn, from the advice and feedback from you guys...

Dove lake (I just love that rock!):
EXIF: D70, 12-24@19mm, F11, manual exp 0.8 seconds, ISO200, Circ polariser, two merged images
Hmmm... Seems a bit washed out looking at this now... Needs a curve push I think...

Andrew,

Great photos. No. 1 is simply stunning. To me, the exposure in all of them looks fine. I would try to remove haziness in No.3 by steepening L curve in LAB.

This is such a beautiful area. I have dozens of photos from when I visited, but that was in my old SLR days - not digital.

#1 - I like the framing, particularly like the tree shadows in the water.

#2 - I love the colours in the second shot, and the reflection makes it.

#3 and #4 - the colours are less vibrant, they need a bit more when sitting alongside the first two shots.

I was in Tasmaina in January, loved it. You have some fabulous shots here, just makes me want to go back NOW!

First and last are my picks. Looks like you had some really nice weather down there - which isn't always the case!

The light hitting that mountain is wonderful.

Cheers

Andrew,

Great use of leading lines in the first shot. Your photography is getting better and better. It's always a pleasure looking at your work.

some more great stuff.

well done.

Steve

Some stunning images here.. #1 is a cracker of a shot...

Tim

Hey, these are great I'd love to see that. Looks almost a American National Park shot. The rock definitely is awesome, and your photos do justice to it very well.

Living in Tassie and having seen a shot of cradle or two I think that these shots are amoung the best I have seen. Really do deserve printing in large format

Owen

Excellent series of shots! I esp like the first one which elegant uses the shadow of the tree to add atmosphere to the scenary.
