Kununurra and Ord River Dam, Western Australia

Hi all,

I spent last weekend in Kununurra, which is in the Kimberley region of Western Australia. I also took a quick trip out to the Ord River Dam, which reportedly holds more than 10,000 gigalitres -21 times the amount of water in Sydney Harbour.

Here are a couple of my favourites from Kununurra:

The sunset from Kelly's Knob:

Mate , nice place , like the last one , a couple are a bit flat need to bump up the saturation , did you use a polarizer, the 3rd one has great potential at the right time of day though I would not put the dead tree right in the middle. Just my thoughts, cheer robert

Thanks Robert, appreciate the comments. I'm a little reluctant to increase the saturation too much more, they look fine on my monitor and print out fine and I hate too highly 'pushed' images. I'll try a different crop of the 3rd one, thanks for the suggestion.

Cheers,

Great shots Simon. I love the last one. I'm going to have to tour WA some day.

Thanks HB, it's a great place to visit. I printed the last one out on A3+ last night, it looks stunning.

Agreed with that they look fine to me and they are all great shots! Particularly 2 and 5, last one is no slouch either.

Will look forward to more of your work.

Thanks kenyc, will wait and see what others think. I should have numbered them, will do that now if I'm allowed.

#1 and #2 look stunning printed at A3+ on Ilford Smooth Pearl. #5 could be boosted a little more, but it wasn't as vibrant as #1 and #2 in real life.
