October 2018 - Tomaree Headland
About the Image(s)
Camera- Nikon D7000, Lens- Sigma 10-20mm at 10mm, F/ Stop- F/16, Exposure Time-- 40sec, ISO-100, Tripod used.
This image was taken from Tomaree Headland at Nelson Bay about 3 hours south of my home town. The Pacific Ocean is on the left. The climb up the headland is quite a mission but well worth the effort. There was a huge American presence here during World War 2. The sun had dropped below the horizon and I used a 40sec shutter speed to get some movement in the clouds and flatten the water. It is a peaceful holiday destination. I didn't do much post production apart from using the sliders in Adobe Camera Raw. Cheers Glenn

What a rewarding view after the climb! Very nice. Like the effect of your choice of slow shutter. Shows nice motion of the clouds but not too much. Posted: 10/19/2018 06:02:40
Glen, my first comment to this image is WOOUW! I don't know if there is any better spot to take this picture. To me it's just perfect angle for the composition.
You mentioned ... I didn't do much post production apart from using the sliders in Adobe Camera Raw ...
Indeed, this was really apparent to me. If I were to do post processing (to this image) I would definitely increase it's dynamic range. Likely, with HDR in tone mapping from a single image for more punch and highlight some areas for more dramatic and dimensional.
However, I am still struggling with others opinions who prefer to have minimum adjustment during post production. Some said as natural as possible.

Spectacular vantage point! Plenty of variation in light and sky in whichever direction the eye goes. Great image. Posted: 10/25/2018 07:20:07
