Fantastic images Toddy. How long were you on the offroad for?

[Toddyh]

Thanks John. 8 weeks that trip. Covered 24,000km

[Grumpy John]

Wow, that's a lot of K's, but it's not hard to do in The Kimberly, there's no shortcuts.
Did you go Sydney-Broken Hill--Tibooburra and then through the Simpson?

[Toddyh]

No I went across the bight. Up the coast. Into the Gibson and sandy deserts. Up though the Kimberly, down to Alice, across to Birdsville, Lightning Ridge and finished with a Darling River Run.

[Grumpy John]

Sweet.

Nice

Nice shots of very pleasant looking places Todd. #2 and 3# look a little bright on my monitor. I wonder if they would look better just a tad darker, or it could be my monitor.

[Toddyh]

Thanks Alan. I'll check that.

Thanks Phil.

Very good images Todd. I was there a long time ago (I was 20) so don't recall too much. I love those colours, so vibrant. I agree with wigz about the brightness of #2 and #3 - only a bit though. Here's the difference with just a slight curves adjustment. I used Faststone for the edit.

Thanks Greg

Another go at 2 and 3

Beautiful scenes Todd. I haven’t been over that way before, but your photos are making me want to go.
Your last 2edits still look a bit too bright to me, and the greens a bit too vivid or oversaturated. But if that’s how it looked on the day, and you are happy with it, then that’s what matters.

[Toddyh]

Thanks Brad. It was the contrast of the vivid green against the red rocks that drew me to both of these.

[Grumpy John]

Hi Toddy, how long did you stay at El Questro for. I'm thinking of driving straight from Port Pirie to Ceduna and picking up 3 days which we could spend at El Questro. We probably won't do the GRR this trip.
Would you mind having a look at this post and giving some thoughts.
