Dwarfed, a photo from New South Wales, East

Photographer's Note

From http://www.vnc.qld.edu.au/enviro/flinders/f-p-nbm.htm:

Over many millions of years thick layers of clastic sediment (sand, silt, mud, clay) and organic materials were deposited in a deep trough, the Sydney Basin, forming mainly sandstone, along with other less resistant sedimentary rocks such as coal, shale and claystone. Much later they were gently uplifted and slightly warped. Subsequent erosion has dissected the plateau, producing deep valleys and leaving remnants of the plateau. Today these remnants are known as the Blue Mountains.

That's my father over there. I apologise breaking "no family" rule of ToS, but it's essential to have some sort of scale indicator here. And supermodels are never around when they are needed.

Hi Kari,
Once again, we can regret the fact that for a picture with many details like this one, 200ko is not enough. Never mind, it's an impressive picture and the presence of your father in a cool attitude ;o)is indeed crucial to give to the picture a spectacular aspect. If he wasn't there, it would have less interest.

I love the details and the colors of the rock. A wonderful way of showing scale, with the person out here, even if it is your father.

Kari, Very interesting shot and background! Your Dad being in the picture adds a size perspective to the overall imgae. Thanks for sharing. Sunil

Hello Kari,
Your father looks like a model in a super location. That is much better than just a super model. Ver good POV and sharpness. Good note. TFS. Thomas

Hi Kari,
Very interesting capture of this geological phenomenon!
Great colours and details in textbook quality, wise to give scaling! And this hnadsome model, of course..!

Hi Kari,
Are you trying to convince us that your dad's modelling days are over? I'm sure he'd be bitterly disappointed to learn that! Besides, with that suave pose, maybe he still has a long career ahead of him! ;-)
It's really good that you included him to give some indication of scale because, without him, there is no size reference of any sort.
I really like this pic. The colours are great and the detailed texture of the formation is impressive. It's a geology lesson in a photo!
Also, thanks for your informative note. I just wish more people would do that.
Impressive work, my friend!

Hugs,
Tony

Hi Kari,
Good shot: interesting rock texture, nice colour and the man figure to right scale. Imaginable place. Thanks.

Terve Kari,
Interesting view well framed in a vertical way to make it even more impressive considering the supposed size of your father, agree that scale is essential here to gather something from this view.
Have a nice day,
Jean-Yves

Amazing rocks that even look alive and in motion! They are easily mistaken for water faling over rock ledges. The use of a supermodel for scale, coupled with the diagonal of the rock stratification, make tis one exceptionaq.

Hi Kari

Hehehe I think you got better than a super model! Jeez your dad's in great shape, he looks very young! Don't know how you'd like Blackheath at the moment, it got pretty scary last week with the fires. My friend who has a house there nearly lost it. The fire came within 10 metres of it. Anyway, a great shot, lovely textures in the rock face and the inclusion of a person (your super dad) was absolutely necessary to give us a sense of scale.

Nice work, so I can cross the blue mountains off the list I think? :)

Cheers
Lisa
