Blue Lake - St Bathans

These views are Breathtaking. Do you do anything to the pictures or are they coming out like this. You can’t possibly always be in the right place at the perfect time can you?? LOL.
The sky is unreal. Reflections are beautiful.

Thanks Marina and Jeff. Jeff we were incredibly lucky with the weather all through the tour, these clouds changed amazingly in the hour or so we were here. I’ll share more. I’ve used HDR on this, three bracketed shots and blended with photomatix

Perfect shot Mel,love the sky.

wow! beautiful shot mel!

top marks Mel, HDR looks good, not overdone. In fact if you never said it I couldn’t of told

Thanks alistair, Nicole and Shane. Sometimes they turn out so nice and subtle, and I like it that way :)

Beautiful shot. so pure. .

You’‘ve really got the HDR working to best advantage. Another beautiful shot!

Great shot Mel – you can just get completely lost in this image… if that’s your purpose, you’ve succeeded. Just mesmerizing!

Yes, this is a real winner! Beautifully done…

Thanks Jaffa, Susan, Paul and James!

WOW!! You’re images just seem to be getting more and more real. I could almost live in this photo!

When viewed larger this work really comes alive – i could almost reach into the screen and touch the water- another stunner.

Thanks Lachlan and Naomi!

So still & tranquil. A gorgeous image

I may not now the lingo or tools used to get these results. What I do know is this is beautiful Mel.

Thanks Sharon and Christina!

Beautiful work my friend! Kindly see: http://www.redbubble.com/search/find/europephotocomp and thank you for your kind support! My image is there thanks to you

love that endless sky, echoed in the water – awesome work :)

Another beautiful result Mel – you got some great cloud formations in the right locations.

Thanks so much, Catalin, Louise and Kathy. We were indeed so lucky on this day!

The stillness of the water providing the reflection and being able to see the bottom of lake in the foreground is amazing. Great work!

Stunning as always Mel, well done.

I haven’t commented before, because to be quite honest, I can’t find the words to describe how your work makes me feel. I’ll just favourite them and hope that speaks for itself.

Mel, Mel, Mel. Your talent is neverending. This is superb. It broadcast..”Big, Expansive, Beautiful World” The contrast is perfection I love the saturation of your colors.There is a mystical quality that is entrancing and bewitching. Wonderful image. I would love to know where your images are taken. They make me want to “be” there. (you are a wizard at landscapes). Primo. Excellent.

oooo – nice one Mel! I love it!!

What can I say that has not already been said. Beautiful photo Mel.

Love it Mel – Fantastico

Absolutely stunning! Lovely sky and clouds. I’m amazed at how clear the water is with all the detail underneath.

Beautiful image. Fantastic reflection.

Oh wow! This is strikingly beutiful! Such a dreamy, gorgeous scene! Love the reflections of the clouds in the wter. Almost looks like a mirror!

What I love about your HDR images Mel is that they are never overdone. Not to mention the fact you have a wonderful eye to boot.
Again, a beautiful image.

Your landscapes demand attention Mel. Nice one!

Thank you all so much!!

I think I have to get me to New Zealand!

Another stunner!

Thanks Steven and Helene, I can definitely recommend it!

Great shot Mel, well done!

Phew, how good is this shot! Running any workshops any time??

Thanks Steven and Denzil! I went with a photo tour, Denzil, the guys running the tour taught us so much, but also provided these magic sites…..I just pointed my camera :)

Great HDR!! Beautiful colors! Keep it up Mel!

have to say i love this picture

Thanks Thodoris and frederico!

What can I say that others have not! All of the above plus some. Nice use of HDR without being overdone.
Cheers
Sheila

You visited this spot on the right day! Those wonderful clouds!

Thanks Sheila and Lee!

Wow! the colour harmony and contrast in this image are superb, very well framed, well done

Another amazing landscape photo from you!! Wow!

great shot :)

This is a great landscape Mel. I notice some comments about HDR. Is this really HDR? It’s very well done in any case. I like that the reflection doesn’t obscure the pebbles in the water.

Thanks so much everyone. Fred Frank, yes, this is HDR, but I went for subtle here :)

Great shot

Brilliant!

It is just SO beautiful. You are dangerous with that camera woman :-)
