Ok, I hate to be predictable, but you seem to like them, lol

Heading towards Earls Seat, the highest point in the Campsie Fells, with an old boundary fence as a marker for the route.

A two frame vertorama

View on BLACK (sooooo predictable!)

Another wonderful shot, Paul. I was wondering (as one does) how you get that look. I thought colour burn on a copied layer, then brush through the lighter areas from underneath. Are you willing to share your secrets?

Nothing wrong with being predictable when the outcome is like the above picture. Another great shot. And loads of great work as well.
Cheers

I could say the same when I say that I never tire looking at this type of image you create. Love it.

For this one i shot various exposures for the fence, sky, foreground, background, etc to merge together to recreate the scene again and adjusted everything in masks and levels. I normally do use lights (car headlights, big spotlights, etc) but this location is really very remote, so i just had to do it all in processing.

Thanks for your vote!
