Australia

A few shots from my recent trip to Australia. More to come (lots more!) soon

This is an HDR (processed in Photomatix) of the Daintree rainforest in northern Queensland.

A beautiful early morning in the bush, about 100 km south of Cloncurry, middle of Queensland.

An Emerald Python (I think?) at Australia Zoo.

Would love to hear some comments and any crits, my first photo post here

Nice! Good job not making the HDR image look like HDR (you know, cartoony and fake). The second one is great, nice composition and color. how long was the shutter open to get that cloud effect? I like the composition in the third one too; other than the glass getting in the way, it's a good photo.

I agree with the above comments, but I don't like the cloud movement in number 2. It makes me dizzy. Just my thoughts.

Hi guys,

The clouds are not moving. The exposure was 1/60th, that is just how they looked (very strange isn't it?!)

Cheers!

Wow. That is strange then.

Is this just a statement or are you critiquing that you would prefer the first shot if it was processed differently?
