the ancient land - tasmania Cradle Mountain from Dove Lake

I think this is the best from my most recent shoot at Cradle Mountain, taken around sunset

with a bit of pink in the clouds. Specifications : Gitzo tripod, 2 stop ND grad, f22, shutter 2.5

sec, ISO 50.

Stunning...

 

Composition, color, just wow.

Perfect !

I agree with perfect.Stunning shot.

Definitely very good Kah. Everything's come together here; light, colour and composition. This looks like the "magic" moment which usually only exists for a very short time at sunrise and sunset when it all comes together.

Me hubiese gustado darte un par de seven, pero el sistema.. ya sabes, solo nos da 14 dias para reponer, una interesante imagen, con un bellisimo encuadre, luz, color y gran composicion, Creo que en poco tiempo te has convertido en unos de los mejores paisajistas de esta WEB. cosa que es de agrader pues aprendemos todos, gracias Kah......-I had liked to give you a couple of seven, but the system .. already you know, only it(he,she) gives us 14 days to re-put, an interesting image, with a bellisimo setting, light, color and great composition, I believe that in a little time you have turned into some of the best landscape painters of this WEB. Thing that is of agrader since we learn all, thank you Kah

That is a nice one Kah. Congrats.

Nice shot Kah. I think one is superb.

NOT!!

 

Kah,

Cant find anything to fault about this one. Just perfection.

Ansel Adams in colour!!!! Tripod, small aperture, slow "film".....Excellent.

Many thanks for the numerous critiques. I was acting as 'tour guide' for my family recently who had never been to Cradle Mountain, however when the unique light trasformed the landscape in a way I had not seen before, I quickly set up my equipment. The water level was much lower than my last trip here and the submerged rocks I had previously used were now a rocky path giving access to this area without getting wet. Thanks for your support Julio, you seem to leave a critique on almost all my photos. I like your comment about the slow 'film' Robert.

Beautiful image Kah Kit compliments

Kah, I looked again at your previous image taken at this spot. I think that composionally both of them are very beautiful and rich, I do like the light here, I think it is the perfect light, the sky are brighter than in the other one which affect the FG, reflections. The line that connect reality and its reflection is more accentuated, even the small ston did not move ;-)) In any event, beautiful corner of earth well taken by you.

I really like this composition

Once again, a great shot Kah. Did you think about using a polariser? It may have removed some of the refections in the foreground reevealing the submerged rocks while still leaving the reflection of the mountain.

Perfect! Composition, color, light, everything. I agree with you this may be the best of the Cradle Mtn series (at least the ones I have looked at). Cheers, J

Impressive image!

Add my 7/7 to your WOW!WOW!and WOW!

Kah, another excellent shot. Well done. I have a technical question if I may.

 

You use a Cokin grad ND. A lot of people don't like this brand. What are your thoughts?

Stunning shot. Really caught my attention.

Again thank you for your contributions in ratings and comments. Andy, I use the Cokin ND filter but I have just bought a full set of Singh-Rays because of my disatisfaction with the Cokin filters. Cokins are great when you start off because they are cheap. However they are not truly neutral, you get a magenta colour shift if not careful. If you stack more than one filter at a time the colour shift is so great the images are virtually usuable. Robert, I am finding I use the polarizing filter less these days. Firstly it is difficult to use with wide-angles without causing a 2 toned sky, secondly is the vignetting I get with an ND grad stacked on. Of course this doesn't stop me using them when needed. In my vision of the scene I wanted the reflections of the clouds prominent rather than seeing through the water. There was also some mud around the stones under the water which was unattractive.

You have captured the perfect moment, Kah Kit. Most beautiful in terms of sceney, colours & exposure. I would like to visit one day this magical place.
