Blimey mate... a good old height for this one, clouds to the left slightly blown ?? but still a cracking big sky and the letterbox crop does it's wonders too
Nice one Allan as The Who's song goes... "I can see for miles and miles and miles...." Vast indeed and lucky for you to have a nice sunny day too. I used a Grad. ND filter to balance the bright sky.
Good take on Horizontal Allan - it would be unnatural if nature produced sprit-level horizontals. Spot on. Keep the challenge going .. hard work though it may be sometimes.
Now to Vast. A striking scene with that high POV and taken on a bright sunny day in Spring - just lovely.
Vast - a perfect way to illustrate the theme, really nice. Was this taken as a few shots and joined together?
Very nice Al, slots right in there under vast
Nice view and definetly vast. Pity about how the harsh light.
Cheers.
Vast conveys a nice sense of open space helped by the elevation, I like it.
Pleasing image, like the BG
Really liking Vast Allan plenty of details to take in
Hi Allan, good spot for Vast and a nice pano. Not normally sold on 50:50 horizon placement, but I think it works for this theme (and I'm going to assume it makes stitching a lot easier )
Shame about the light, but sometimes you have to work with what you have. I guess you could have dialled in a couple of stops of negative exposure comp?
That's a fabulous view Allan perfect for the theme.
A valid point Paul about negative exposure, but I have to say all the technical aspects went out of the window standing on the edge with a very strong wind blowing, it was hard to get my breath never mind anything else
What a fantastic view and you've really captured that feeling of big sky and feeling very tiny. I'm just glad you didn't get blown off the edge!
Allan Hi, really like your horizontal photo, sharp and plenty of contrast, I want to run my finger down and watch them move back to rest.
Vast - liking this, not sure about the lower right rock but overall a good landscape.
Hi Allan
really liking the contrasty OOF'd BG in Horizontal.
love the FG rocks adding stability to your Vast ... ness.
Hi Allan,
Horizontal - Interesting processing work. I see you're using the Nik collection, is that a new addition to your arsenal now that it's free?
How do you find it?
Vast - Cathedral on the horizon? You've got better eyes than me (but I guess you know what you're looking at).
Great blues in the sky, a bright sunny day is always going to cause problems with highlights isn't it, but rather that than a uniform grey sky.
That shot really does give an impression of vastness with the land leading off into the distance like that.
Pipped you to the post Andy?!aaarrrghhhhhhh
I'll comment when I've calmed down
Cheers.
An excellent selection of rough textures Allan - I particularly like the centre row with that rich orange/brown timber in the middle. Would make a great piece of wallart.
That's a great collection of graphics for the theme, very good mix of textures and colours
I really like this one Allan .....good choice in making each section the same size, and a smashing variety of textures. I agree with Carl it works very well as wall art
aaarrrghhhhhhh
I'll comment when I've calmed down
Cheers.
That is a great choice - I love seeing all those textures together - the rust and golden wood are especially eye-catching.
Hi Allan, that is a great selection of shots and a very well thought out submission I really like it!
A brilliant idea well executed, Allan. Brings far more than just a single shot would have done.
Some great textures there, Allan. Off the set it's the middle one for me, but they do work well together.
Cheers.
