Hanging Rock.

[Jayst84]

Went up to the Macedon Ranges, which touches on the Great Dividing Range in northern Victoria. A fascinating place that I'll definitely be returning to many times.

Hanging Rock is a rare volcanic formation that rises over 700 meters above sea level. I'm told this region has the only example of this particular rock in the world outside of Sweden and Norway.

All taken late morning / early afternoon, but I think the light was particularly kind considering.

Thanks for looking, and for any C&C.

Have you desaturated the first two shots? I think it works whatever you did. Lets see more pictures of OZ

great photo, did you stop for a picnic?

 

[Jayst84]

Thanks. Yes, first two are converted to mono then spilt-toned in Lightroom (warming the shadows and cooling the highlights). #3 is also toned similarly although more subtly.

And yes, we did stop for a picnic very nice it was too.

I love no. 1 & 5 but I'm not too sure about the blue tint.

3 and 5. Cracking. Really like the processing on 3, and for some reason the composition and simplicity of 5 really stands out for me. Cracking stuff

The others bar the last are a tad odd... not so keen on the processing used in the first two... Sorry

 

[Jayst84]

Thanks very much. Yeah, I'm still not sure on the toning in the first two. I really liked it when I did it, but in two minds now..

The others bar the last are a tad odd...

Odd's good isn't it?
