ooooooooookay... that's just put my lonesome shots to shame hehe... I love the sunsetting one... I was so tempted to pull over on the freeway on the way home... the sunset was gorgeous

How did you take that one of the sunset?

Easy! I pointed the camera and played with the buttons and there you are! (AND I think I might go back at around sunset tomorrow for another go )

Oh and we had Kelsey-Lee and her sister Amy who decided climbing and wrestling were every bit as good as photography. Thanks Kelsey and Amy for providing the entertainment...(I think they might have hit the red cordial before they arrived )...

yeah it's tempting to go back again...

not 100% sure why mine didn't get a very orange glow... they all look very undersaturated maybe I just need to learn to post process the colours etc in your pics look much much nicer

edit: speaking of playing (relatively poor pic of 'someone' giving them a helping hand )

Thanks guys, another great meeting! a few of mine...

great pics shay!!! I forgot to take a look at your epson dooby whatsit... next time...

One more pic for the night (I'm WAYYYYYYYYYY too lazy to PP any more, and they ALL need it )...

There's a reason for this somewhat boring shot of a great monument thingy being upside down... (/me looks over toward Tina)...

Hi gang,

Sorry I have been off the grid over the last week or so - I have been enjoying my holidays down south. Damn it has been cold!!

Look here https://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthre​ad.php?t=255633 for some pelican shots from The Entrance.

Look here https://photography-on-the.net …php?p=2454045#p​ost2454045 for some shots from the south coast of NSW before the rain came in.

Sorry I missed the graveyard shoot - the images coming back look great.

Cheers

great pics Ken! Have to meet you next time...

I love the Entrance and those pelicans! My brother took me there on the way to the Hunter! mmm wine.

Shay,

Love that first image of the cross in your collection. Well thought out and well executed.

One small suggestion, if sending it into competitions or magazines or selling I suggest photoshop bluring the name a bit. Some people get a bit touchy about the name being legible etc (sort of like a model release I guess).

Yes - I am currently in Canberra for week more then back through the Central coast and the Hunter on the way home. more wine!!

I will post some from Canberra soon - found an Emu with 3 chicks wandering around on a bush walk today but too tired to process the images.

Hey Shay? how come when you and Paul save your pics, it saves the exif?

I use RawShooter Premium, and then export (after adjusting whitebalance, saturation, EC etc) via TIFF to Photoshop.

If I save for web, it comes out with no exif when I upload.

Hi again Feng,

"Save for Web" isn't that great. It strips the EXIF information to make the file smaller.

I created an Action in Photoshop to

1. Change the colour profile of the image from AdobeRGB to sRGB
2. Change the resolution to 72 ppi
3. Resize the image to 800 pixel wide (sometimes I still have to resize it as it still comes out too big).
4. Save the resultant image to a file known as "Images for POTN" and save it as a JPEG.

It only took me about five minutes to create and when I use this action, it converts an image in less than a second and preserves the EXIF.

If you need help to create the action, PM me.

wow guys, those images are great! I love both the sunset ones with the cross. beautiful! I havn't been home yet to play with mine, had a quick peek, some will be okay.
feng, u r funny!! love the upside down shot.

you guys missed a great sunset up at mt cootha, i forgot to take out my tripod, and missed the best, but bob got some nice ones. Definitely have to have another go! next time we do the graveyard, we have to meet up a bit later.
