Crying in the Mist by Kellea Croft
I stubbled upon a group of 6 black yellow tailed cockies in Leura, NSW, Australia. It is a cloudy covering on the mountains and I was heading to the lookout for cloudy valley shots. It was exhilerating standing in the recently burnt underbrush with the magnificant creatures flying all around crying out to each other. My heart is still racing…

Sylvia Falls by Tim Souter
Be like water making its way through cracks. Do not be assertive, but adjust to the object, and you shall find a way round or through it. If nothing within you stays rigid, outward things will disclose themselves. Empty your mind, be formless. Shapeless, like water. / If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle and it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot it becomes the teapot. Now, water can flow or it can crash. Be water my friend. – Bruce Lee Model: Canon EOS 50D / Lens: Canon IS 18-200mm / ISO: 100 / Aperture: F5.0 / Shutter Speed: 1/4th sec / WB: Auto / Focus Type: AF / Focal Length: 20mm / Style: Waterfall/Slow Shutter / Image: Jpg converted from RAW.

Three Sisters and a Cockatoo by David Iori
David Iori’s Website Email Me / . / © Copyright 2008 David Iori Photography, All Rights Reserved / . / The Three Sisters Echo Point Katoomba The Legend / _The Aboriginal dream-time legend has it that three sisters, ‘Meehni’, ‘Wimlah’ and Gunnedoo’ lived in the Jamison Valley as members of the Katoomba tribe. These beautiful young ladies had fallen in love with three brothers from the Nepean tribe, yet tribal law forbade them to marry. The brothers were not happy to accept this law and so decided to use force to capture the three sisters causing a major tribal battle. As the lives of the three sisters were seriously in danger, a witchdoctor from the Katoomba tribe took it upon himself to turn the three sisters into stone to protect them from any harm. While he had intended to reverse the spell when the battle was over, the witchdoctor himself was killed. As only he could reverse the spell to return the ladies to their former beauty, the sisters remain in their magnificent rock formation as a reminder of this battle for generations to come._

Radios Appear by Mark Hodges
A climber comes to gips with “Radios Appear”, a grade 21 wall that offers sustained and strenuous moves. This climb at Mt York (Blue Mountains, NSW) had its first recorded ascent in early 1982. Ralph Weigand, John Smoothy and Steve Knight would probably never have guessed that climbing at this crag… and on this particular route…. would become so popular 27 years later. My thanks to this awesomely smooth climber for making the route looks so easy while being photographed by yours truly.

Lee's Misty Falls by Peter Hill
It would be a bit dishonest of me to title this image Misty Mountain Falls or similar, as I created the effect by using a Lee Graduated Mist Filter and a Lee 0.9 Soft Grad ND Filter on a Canon EF 24-70mm f2.8 USM Lens set at 24mm, mounted on a Canon EOS 5D Mark II, itself mounted on a tripod. It was a clear bright day when I shot this around 9.30am at Sylvia Falls in the Valley of the Waters in the Blue Mountains National Park. A favourite place and a favourite subject to shoot. As I am want to do of late months, I also used the Hoya HMC ND x400 Filter (aka The Black Glass – thanks Adriana for the name!), and this image was shot over 480 very patient seconds. Phew! ISO 50, aperture f11, single RAW file. Untouched. Unfortunately it was also the day I lost my Canon Remote Switch. Reward offered, there is a theme to my gear, as you may have guessed.

Things Are Looking Up - Mount Wilson, Blue Mountains - The HDR Experience by Philip Johnson
BEST VIEWED LARGER As the Northern Hemispere turns to Spring the Southern Hemisphere turns to autumn. This shot was taken in the Blue Mountains World Heritage Area in the township of Mount Wilson. The colours when I visited were great , but with the climate conditions that we are experiencing the colours do not last long. / The natural patterns of autumn, highlighted by the sunlight. This is a private garden of 12 Acres that is one of the many opened up to the public in autumn and spring> There is no colour manipulation here it is a good example of what effect pure HDR has on autumn colours, what is brighter to the human eye is emphasised when opened to High Dynamic Range (HDR) Equipment: Nikon D300 Sigma 10-20mm lens / Technique: 5 Bracketted exposures then processed using Photomatix with a slight adjustment to focus in Capture NX. The colours emphasised by the layering process of HDR. !

Shadows & Light # 2 - Blue Mountains World Heritage Area - The HDR Experience by Philip Johnson
THIS IS A BIG IMAGE VIEW LARGER FOR BEST RESULTS Isnt it a buzz when you get that perfect light, the shades of day as it is born, as the first rays light up an already magnificent view ? For those viewing, commenting and favouriting if i’m lucky thank you This shot was taken from Echo Point in the Blue Mountains World Heritage Area at dawn, it was created from 5 bracketed images using a Nikon D300 fitted with a Nikon 18-200mm. No filters were used. The image was taken at sunrise certainly a great view. The Blue Mountains are located 2 hours west of Sydney by road, also by train for visitors to Sydney, there are also organised day trips via motor coach that will take you to the area for the day…. though if you have the time spend a few days in the area. You can see all the attractions, have a devonshire tea in one of the many teahouses, or sit on the edge of the valley that seems to go on forever, and listen to the birdlife. Bushwalking is a must ! Equipment : D300 Nikon 18-200mm lens / Technique: HDR 5 Exposures Photomatix Framed See Also /

We want to showcase to the world the unique Blue Mountains area and its importance here in Australia. The Blue Mountains is a world heritage listed area and therefore unique in the world.
There is no limit to the number of photos you can have in the group but they MUST only relate to the Blue Mountains (this includes flora, fauna, buildings, landscapes etc) and they MUST INCLUDE A DESCRIPTION WITH AS MUCH DETAIL AS POSSIBLE DESCRIBING HOW THEY RELATE TO THE BLUE MOUNTAINS. If they do not, they will be rejected. A LIMIT OF 2 UPLOADS PER DAY applies to ensure eveyone’s art has a chance to be seen. Should you do more than this we will keep the first two and reject the rest. You can then upload these the following day.
Journal entries must relate to the Blue Mountains or they will be rejected.
PLEASE TAKE TIME TO READ THE GROUP RULES BEFORE POSTING AN IMAGE.
