Photograph Information Photographer's Comments
Challenge: Stationary (Basic Editing III)
Camera: Canon EOS-10D
Lens: Canon EF 17-40mm f/4L USM
Location: Lóndrangar on Snæfellsnes, Iceland
Date: Jul 1, 2006
Aperture: f/11
ISO: 200
Shutter: 1/250
Date Uploaded: Jul 4, 2006

 Hue/saturation and selective color to darken the sky in conjunction with channel mixer utilizing only the red channel. I then applied a curve to manage contrast and a slight USM with high radius to increase local contrast.

Too bad about sensor dust.

The two rock-stacks in the background are called Lóndrangar and are located on Snæfellsnes in Iceland. Those two are 61 and 75 meters high and are thought to be the remains of so called volcanic plugs.

Awesome tones and depth. I would like to see an edited version with the sky cleaned up. And possibly rotated 0.5 degrees clockwise?

Nice photo. I don't get "stationary," from it, though.

How cool, that rock looks like an egg to me. Other than all the dirt spots in the sky I really like this.
