Castle Hill New Zealand

Hello all
I've finally managed to find some time to go out and take some pictures. Time is a bit scarce these days what with my partner being in hospital for observation. Oh the joys of a not so smooth pregnancy. I basicaly was ordered to go out and do something rather than hang around being of no use to anyone
Didn't get much time to spend on this but thought I would share.

I really like this. Very dramatic.......looks like rain brewing!. Did you use an ND Grad filter?

Very nice. Rather dark and forboding.

Hi again. Here is another one taken a little bit earlier in the day.
I don't use any filters for my work. Main thing I do is use level, curve and selective colour adjustment layers then tweak them untill I'm happy with the final print. Good trick I've discovered to save on money is to do a proof print on 4x6 to check the colours and then print to A3+

Your picture is awesomely captured.
10/10

these are really nice. I don't use ND grads either but was considering getting one. Will stick with photoshop for now. I prefer the second to the first and I thought the first was really good!

Wow great shots.

Some of the Narnia scenes was shot near here.

Fabulous - love seeing more of your end of the countryside, keep 'em coming!

Truly beautiful
