OT: NZ images from 2007
Nat's recent posts got me digging through my old NZ images again, here's a couple I re-processed by double processing the RAW file and blending.
This first one I processed for the trees, and for the sky; second one for the foreground, and for the sky.
Both these images may have more meaning to me as memories, as opposed to stunning images, but I thought I'd throw them out here, for a yah or nay.
First shot was from Lake Te Anau, 2nd shot from the West Coast of the Sth Island looking towards mount cook - I liked the lichen covered gate!.

Mount Cook.

I love the comp in the second photo. I especially like the gate. It would be nice if the exposure on the clouds (UL) were a bit better controlled, but that's a minor nit. Thanks for sharing. :smile:

Thanks Momo, I agree about the clouds, here is another version that maybe slightly better?. This is one of those images you could work on forever in PS.

Love that lichen covered gate, and the mountains in the background. Very dramatic. The rainbow shot is nice, too.

I like both shots, but the sky in the first one is amazing. I love the rainbow!

Wow, that gate shot is great!

Love the gate image Nick. The gate takes you right to the mountains. Great comp!
