Those are fabulous shots, John. I downloaded your .nef file that you posted, and I couldn't come up with a better way to process it. Just the LR or PS shadow lift seems the most natural. I tried the Camera Raw noise reduction, but didn't get much improvement in the slight colour blotching. Perhaps one of the stand alone noise reduction processes could do better? I'm not sure.
I also tried additional layers to lighten the shadows but to no avail. Its a very difficult image and I absolutely love the ones with just the plane silhouette again the moon. Those are awesome. A closer crop would be amazing.
Shearing on Gunnong Jugrawah on the Murrumbidgee River near Jugiong NSW
First morning. About another 20,000 sheep to go.
It has been 20 years since I was in a working shed .
How times have changed. We in Australia are now in a Nanny state. When I was growing up, before I went away to school I would be all over the Shed at shearing time. If I got in the way and didnt move when asked I would be picked up by one of the Rous a bouts and either popped down one of the chutes where the Shorn sheep get put our dumped in a wool bin. It was all a great adventure
That photo was taken illegally because unless you are employed and insured, you are not allowed on "the board"
How truly pathetic we are getting in the western world when we cannot be trusted to look out for our selves and if we dont, we sue.
Anyhow, for all of you who have never seen a pic taken i a working shearing shed; enjoy
was at a wedding and while walking to another building I saw this horse & carriage,, the horse had its head turned to the side offering the appearance of being headless,, good time to have a ready camera in hand,,
