wow the lower image looks weird.. like the dish should actualy crush the "little" house its standing on.. architecture can sometimes end in weird results

Yes the architecture is amazing.

Like you said it should crush the little brick building, you'd think.

Simply amazing structures. Here's a couple more...

By the way these shots and in different locations as per above.

Some 667.81 kms or 8:42 Hours apart as per this Australian Route Planner

very nice sir. I like the first one in this post and last one in the second. They could use a little more exposure and contrast, but I think it's because the bright light challenged your camera's dynamic range, which you can tell by looking at the clipped highlights on the pic of the five telescopes

I took the liberty of doctoring them up a little

did you just point your camera in some random direction and push the shutter button?

Heh, I was wandering round there last night, lost on the way to a pub.

Big thanks Dave.

I must get into photoshop and learn a little. I presume that's the tool here?

You could've done some post-processing

Post by **Doombrain** » Mon Jan 01, 2007 9:55 pm

nothing's going to help that image

Post by **saturn** » Mon Jan 01, 2007 9:56 pm

I wanted to add some titties, actually.

I love the colour of those shots, fanatic. Do you edit them at all or are they straight from your camera?

I explained converting to quadtone a few pages before, like in that tutorial. Guess it wasn't too easy too follow for mac.

I can't believe I have never seen this before :/ I guess I don't follow photography forums and PS stuff much.
