The real moon?
I left it pretty late to get to this spot and assumed that I would be the only one silly enough to be down here at this time, however I was very much wrong 🙂
I parked up on the main road and road the pushie down the fire trail and did not see anyone on the way in – I gotta say those rocks on that Curra Moor trail have seemed to have gotten larger, I think i managed to hit every large rock and also every deep patch of sand and my arse cheeks are definitely worse for wear now. Anyways get down there just as the sun was disappearing and there are hordes of people doing selfies on the rock.. well hordes might be a slight over statement but… more than the zero people I was expecting 🙂 So i figured i’ll just take a few pictures of them 🙂
and for an extra laugh …. if you look at one of the pano ones.. its me taking a picture of dude who is taking a picture of another dude who is actually the one taking the picture of the dude on the rock..

Fed by the Curra brook, which is only several kilometers long and is usually a trickle most of the year due to the very small catchment, but, sometimes it comes alive..

Hole – Figure 8 Pool

Hole.

All this talk about compositing images and dropping skies in has done only two things for me 🙂

1) made me try it, and

2) convinced me it ain’t that hard 🙂

I guess its for some – but the wholesale dropping in of the sky – as I have done here, opens a new door to image creation but also another level of complexity of trying to create and capture images..

Anyway, for complete disclosure, which it what seems to be the key outcome of most discussions, this image is made from two completely separate images from completely different locations.

The processing was as simple as 4 layers in PS, a graduated mask and a duplicate mask to cleanup a few spots on the hill.
