Return to Fossil Cove

[Jeffmurray]

There are few places I return to more than once. Fossil Cove is enchanting. It helps me feel alive and each time I leave, the light has run out before I have finished shooting. Each corner you turn, or ledge you climb there is another angle - a different perspective with its own unique beauty. 

I still have unfinished business at the alluring Fossil Cove.

Very nice. I like #2 best.

Thanks Miran.

Very nice! where is this location?

[rtoddlowe]

Chrome, it's between Ralph's Bay and Tinderbox. 

 

Southern Tasmania - If you go, pack enough clothes to spend a few years.  It'll take that long to even scratch the surface of photographic possibilities of the place.

Google finds it in Tasmania, which is probably right, but unfortunately quite a bit out of my league as a teacher in the Netherlands.

Wonder why your google wouldn't point you in the right direction.

 

Nice pics, I'm going to get a big stopper or similar right away.

Thanks all. Sorry I missed your post - yes its in Tasmania and the whole Island is beautiful.  Its the Iceland of the Southern Hemisphere in my opinion.  Probably along with the South Island of New Zealand - and Patagonia.

 

The Big Stopper works well and especially now the A7Rii has new firmware and we don't get the hot spots anymore :-)

 

Thanks for stopping by.

Have you applied the firmware update ?

I am curious if the update has really resolved the hot pixels issue...

Yes it has fixed the issue for me. I shot mostly long exposures on the weekend and haven't seen any white pixels in the shadows.

Good to hear that.

 

Have you ever been limited by the actual lossy RAW ?

At times yes. I recently had a shot of the super moon and noted significant banding in the sky when the shot was down sized for the web.

 

Also have seen this when using luminousity masks and making curves adjustments on parts of the image. Usually its on an image with a clear sky. I find I have to be very light handed.
