This was the first outdoor shots taken with the new expo WB disc I picked up.
Very happy with the White Balance result.
Auto white balance on this was way out...

Beautiful shot terminator,

very nice colours. Interesting that you used the expo disc. I was wondering how it would work for landscape type photography.

For those that have slower connections, your image was over the size guidelines, no more then 200kb and 800pix on the longuest side.

Still a great image :D :D

cheers,

André

He said Expo WB disc = Expodisc = ED

Pringle lid is Potato chips lid.

This is an awesome shot - I've come back to it a few times already!!
Where exactly is it taken? With my moderator shorts on, could you please resize this image no greater than 200kb and 800pixels on it's largest side?

This would look nice printed on A3 or larger :)

Normally when I see weather like that I'm just heading back to the tent from the top of a mountain...
Impressive. Gotta love nature, even in the cities!

Have re sized this smaller to comply with posting rules.

For anyone interested in this great view of the city, it`s quite close to Waverton railway station(next stop Nth Sydney).
It`s situated on an old oil storage depot that has been really nicely renovated with lots of walkways, stairs put in to get around the area.
Really a "hidden gem" of Sydney.(lots of them in this part of the city)

:wink: :wink:
