  15. Your photography is superb! I could repeat the comments of commentator number One, but my blog is words aided by pictures, so I suppose we're coming from a different perspective. I bow my head in admiration nevertheless.

  30. Nice to get a glimpse of your adventure, and these are stunning shots. #2 is my favorite, but then the blue of #1 is irresistible, and it's hard to separate them anyway.

    When will we read the book?

    ReplyDelete
  31. These are all wonderful. Beautiful choices for the monthly theme!!!

  32. Stunning. Welcome back! Did you buy a polariser or is it just the upped saturation?

    ReplyDelete
  33. I have actually taken the saturation down, leaving the contrast at medium. What I have done is used the sky to reflect off the water and lowered the aperture by two (or more) stops, which is apparent at the apex of the reflection.

    I will buy a polariser though for the trip up to Cape York.

  34. Oh my, These are just breathtaking!!

    ReplyDelete
  35. All of your photos are gorgeous, Julie, but that first really stands out for the color. Magnificent landscapes!
