About the Image(s)
I thought I would field a landscape this month. Having had 5 days recently in Greenland, I wanted to use an image from our time there - we loved it!
At the very south of Greenland there is a west-to-east passage where ships can pass enjoying incredible landscapes (often with amazing geological natural formations) with cliffs either side up to 1,200 metres. We were scheduled to sail slowly through this from 6:00 am, reaching the eastern side by mid afternoon, allowing time to stop and rotate to just enjoy being close to glaciers reaching the sea etc.
The warming sea around north east Greenland has been in the past couple of summers been some 5 degrees warmer than the long term average, with this playing havoc where glaciers reach the sea. The quantum of ice caving off the glaciers is creating vast ice-flows circulating first south down the east and then circulating west past south Greenland and on towards the Labrador coast of Canada. Very worrying this! Every ship of any type sailing in Greenland waters, now has to have qualified Ice Pilots to guide the Ship’s captain around the ice and the Prins Christiansund had been closed due to ice flows until 6 days before our intended passage (which was on 10 August).
Anyway, sorry to bore you! This picture was taken from our ship as we went round a significant bend. I used my iPhone to automate a panorama. I introduced it to my computer as a Tiff and processed it through Lightroom in three areas, Sky, hills and water/ice.
I’ve included an extra image to showcase the dramatic scenery of the area.
This round’s discussion is now closed!

I do like some of what you have done, particularly the blue sea area, but when I change my master, I won't lighten more the bright sea area to the left.   Posted: 10/09/2024 14:19:11
