Govetts Leap, a photo from New South Wales, East

Photographer's Note

Govetts Leap lookout at Blue Mountains national park.

Stitch of three shots. I decided to repost this as I wasn't satisfied with the stich work. I think the colours match better here. Also there shouldn't be double images where the shots overlap. Adjusted levels, colour balance and perspective correction.

Even more famous lookout is Echo Point with a view of Three Sisters. Direction of light was wrong when we were there, but shots from Echo Point can be found at the gallery of Katoomba.

Please click the image for large panorama version.

the expanse of this area is lovely. i liked the large panorama, although the sky seems a little bit bright, but that's a personal view. is that a waterfall on the right? i went to the blue mountains and the caves of katoomba many years ago. obviously i am long overdue for another visit. i hope you enjoyed my country and you come back soon! well done...

Panos get can get very tricky, but they are always full of surprises for the viewer, such as the waterfall. It caught completely by surprise. It looks like a great place for hang gliding.

Thanks for sharing!
Cheers,
Enrique

hi Kari,

good work here. i like the panorama en stitching looks OK. maybe some small adjusting the the background, that looks rather blue to me, but that is personal and minor.

Nice overview on a heavy vegetated valley.
Stitching is fine here.
I like the play with light and shadows on this valley, which is created by clouds. Good details, nice colours to. Good that you've captured a few different tones of green, including that vegetation if the lower left corner was a good idea, same for the right corner. Strong POV, amazing view.
Indeed a bit bright sky. Could decrease the highlight there I think, maybe also blue and or cyan saturation, or play with levels, I think that would enhance the sky a bit.
Thanks for capturing anyhow. Great work.

Hello Kari,

Lovely panorama of the Blue Mountains: believe it or not, I still have to see the east coast of my own country for myself (Perth is close to 4,000kms from Sydney!).

Best wishes,
Jeff

Hi Kari, beautiful stitch-work, this panorama truly is worthy of a post-card. Great colours, beautiful depth and contrast. TFS, Lisa.
