Another shot from my trip to the Blue Mountains last week.
This one is of Oakland Falls which is just down further from Horseshoe Falls. There is another falls down from this called Burgess Falls but I was totally soaked from the days shooting and couldnt be bothered going any further and at Oakland is where I got hit by another two leaches.
This shot is a single image exposure, double processed for shadow detail and then a combination of targeted vibrance and saturation masks, a mid tone masks to drop the overall shine on the image and then luminosity masks to target various shadow areas. Might sound like a lot of work but it only ended up being about 6 layers.
Shot on the 5D MkII | 17-40mm lens @ 25mm | Polariser | F13 for 2 sec 100 iso

thats fucking nice!! the light on the rocks in the foreground is really nice……should make a tut about this shot, im keen to see what you mean by take the shine off it?
man this is a nice shot 🙂
Nice one here mate – i like the trail of light from the foiliage in the trees down the waterfall then through the moss covered rocks
.It looks like a Chinese or Japanese Bamboo Brush painting for me.So peaceful and calm.
Really nice, Matt. Really well processed in my eyes.
Yep, great shot Matt. Love the contrast of the red leaves on the green rocks. Just wish that one tree wasnt there so it was a clear view of the waterfall. Cant have it all though ay haha! great shot!
Nice work Matt
This is amazing, Matt! The green colors are so vibrant and saturated without them looking unnatural. Great work!
Great Shot Matt!

Hi Matt,
Inspired by this photo, I went on to visit these amazing falls yesterday and took this photo. I hope you like it. I am not as Pro as you just an amateur photographer :).
