First strike at dawn

Posted by Sash (Adelaide, Australia) on 10 August 2007 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.

I got up early last Saturday. I know I'm a tool and a fool to do something so way uncool. But, you know, I answered the call (as it were).

Location: Strathalbyn, SA, Australia.

While you're here, check out my PORTFOLIO. Go on...You know you want to.

The AMINUS 3 FORUM is here. If you build it, they will come.

breathtaking colours, did you do any processing all is it all mother nature?

10 Aug 2007 7:03am

@Dimitrios: It was mostly mother nature but I did use two filters - Gradual Neutral Grey G2 & Gradual Tobacco Grey T2 - for this image. I adjusted the sharpness and contrast slightly but the rest of the colours are from the filters. Thanks for your interest. :)

Really cool processing.

@Daroru: Not much processing here, I'm afraid; 2 x filters over the lens caused pretty much what you see. Thanks for taking a look and leaving a comment.

Navdeep from Chandigarh, India

nice one but size is bit small to fully enjoy !

11 Aug 2007 2:06am

@Navdeep: I never post images at full size. It's easier for people to claim them as their own when they are at full size. And nobody likes a thief, do they?

Thanks for your comment.

Daniel from Olympia, United States

IMO, the filtration is way overdone.

11 Aug 2007 2:58am

@Daniel: Thanks for your honest opinion. I'll let the filter makers know right away. Maybe they can do an immediate recall of the product.

Melanie from Switzerland

Your photograph is wonderful! Great colours and tone!
Congratulations
