regis 0 Posted October 16, 2006 The Storr is a rocky hill on the Trotternish peninsula of the Isle of Skye. The hill presents a steep rocky eastern face overlooking the Sound of Raasay, contrasting with gentler grassy slopes to the east. The Storr is prime example of the Trotternish landslip, the longest such feature in Great Britain. The area in front of the cliffs of The Storr is known as The Sanctuary. This has a number of weirdly shaped rock pinnacles, the remains of ancient volcanic plugs. One of the most famous of these is known as The Old Man of Storr. Taken at evening when I was planning my next-day morning session. Please see the larger version. Link to comment

dcheung 0 Posted November 8, 2006 I love your photos. I'm wondering how you kept everything withing the dynamic range of your capture medium? Looks like a very bright day out. Looks like it's not cloudy. All these contributes to direct sunlight and very very harsh shaddows. I would have expected the shaddows to be so dark that you can't makeout any details if the highlights are exposed the way you've exposed it. Anyways, it seems when I'm doing pics like this, the shadows are always way too dark and would look bad and noisy if lightened in photoshop. Link to comment
aepelbacher 0 Posted November 5, 2007 Hi Piotr!! If you have some extra time, I'd love it if you could take a look at a recent image I posted from the Mississippi swamps. I took the shots before you and I interacted a couple of weeks ago, but I wanted to play with them ... and have posted some specific PS questions. Any suggestions that you might have for me would be greatly appreciated! The image is here. Link to comment
AaronFalkenberg 0 Posted February 2, 2008 I completely missed "lost world #1 (also very nice)," but this instantly got my attention. I'm sure it is because of the strong contrast of the pinnacles. This looks great, and I wouldn't change a thing, but with contrast like this, I think it is screaming to at least try a B+W conversion! Cheers, Aaron Link to comment
