Galactic Entrance by eyeofalens

Galactic Entrance

No not perfectly executed & nor were the conditions . I wanted it darker when here at Kullaberg, but the moon was full ablaze coming up from behind me , thats what has lit the rocks up.
Will try again soon I hope.

This is one of the images I captured in Kullaberg over a year ago on what was a very stormy moody evening ..well the wind was blowing & to some extent the water. I wasn’t really properly attired so didn’t stick round for too long once it kicked in & the rain that soon followed . Really looking forward to exploring more up there & hopefully in some stormy weather .

Sunlight On Jericho by eyeofalens

Sunlight on Jericho needs some Black

When I first saw these rock walls/canyon on Saturday, for one reason or another the first thought that popped into my head is that they looked like something out of a biblical setting or painting.
That thought was reinforced again when someone commented more or less saying the same thing on 500px, thinking they looked biblical.
Hence the title I have chose to apply to this image. The Walls of Jericho thought to have been for both defense & flood protection.
Not sure if this is the best of the images captured with the sun passing its light down this passage, but its the only one having captured some of the minimal tidal movements on what was a reasonably calm after noon.

Kullaberg Canyon by eyeofalens

Kullaberg Canyon really needs a black background.

Kullaberg Canyon
Well I finally made the return 100klm journey to Kullaberg
Saturday afternoon, after a 1 year gap. I’m so glad I did & excited about making many more returns in chasing & following up on ideas that evolved while there. I stayed there until about 10.15 until one of my batteries ran dead ( had back ups ) but by that time the clouds had rolled in, the moon was blazing though the clouds behind which pretty much dashed most attempts at capturing some stars & some other ideas I had.
In my haste & excitement to get up there I left my headlamp behind, but as the moon was fully out it pretty much acted as my lantern for my short time in Darkness. Apart from the one time I used my iPhone after nearly losing camera & tripod which was precariously balanced on sone rocks.
I did have my waders on this trip, but opted on this occasion staying dry & high.Will follow up on subsequent trips of getting low & wet ! Cant believe I have not explored more up here, considering its only about an 1hr journey, thats going to change.
I have processed this twice with 2 completely different variations of handling the light . This one the less moodier but brighter of the 2…will post the other at some other point to see which works best ?
