Anyone for a bungy jump?

G'day all

We're currently in Tassie and have spent a couple of days with seaslug / Greg ... he's nicer in person than his avatar !!!

Anyway, we went up into the hills behind Devonport and here's two from there

1- Dolomite columns rising upwards - from volcanic activity many [many] years ago

exif- Panny G2; 1/200s x f5,6; 14-140 @ 26mm [55mm ff-equiv]; iso-100

2- One of many very steep-sided valleys ~ I always ponder how the original explorers made their way thru these areas

exif- Panny G2; 1/250s x f5,0; 14-140 @ 14mm [28mm ff-equiv]; iso-100

One interesting thing I noted as we were doing our side-by-side shooting, is that Greg's image from #1 location has detail in the sky whereas mine is washed out
Querying 'how come' the cunning fella revealed his secret weapon ... that he liked using in-camera HDR for this sort of landscape. Hmmm - ya learn something every day
Don't tell him that I've passed on his trade secret

As always, comments & feedback welcome

The washed out sky and background really spoil these for me. Imagine it would be impossible for the camera to capture the dynamic range in one shot so needs some sort of hdr either in camera or in PP. You could easily crop out the offending part in #2 but unfortunately not in #1 without losing the top of the foreground mountain.

Now this makes more sense of the Ozzy Travellers thread by Greg!!!

2- One of many very steep-sided valleys ~ I always ponder how the original explorers made their way thru these areas

I often wonder this too.

No wonder so many of them got lost and/or perished.
