Spent the last two days down South East of Adelaide at Meningie and around The Coorong with two other photographers. Traveled around 800km and managed to get up at 4.30 yesterday for the sunrise.

Worked on some B&W images through the trip, big focus on the polarised sky and making them look good for print, a set of 5....


#1 - "B&W #1"

#2 - A winding road ~25km outside Meningie West, South Australia.

#5 - Abandoned farmhouses outside Meningie West, South Australia
HDR

Very high quality BWs

The composition in #4 just speaks for itself, very strong and characteristic!!

You really need to try IR given your live of high contrast and dark skies

Excellent set, although #5 doesn't quite work for me given the blurred HDR clouds. #4 has the best tonality for my tastes.

Edit: Apologies if this has been posted twice, forums are weird this evening,

Hehe, have been considering that after seeing some of your work - the false colour route also seems cool with IR.

Hi Ronnie,

I really like this series. I'd be interested in finding out your B&W conversion technique for these landscapes.

On #5, I don't mind the blurred clouds but I am curious as to why they are blurred. Did you take a lot of time between your exposures or was it really windy and the clouds were really crusing I've done a number of HDR and never really had that effect/problem.

cheers,

André

Awesome photos. Particularly love the composition of number 4.
