Gyaaaa I hate backlogs! Ahh well unless they're work/money-related/otherwise really important take your time with them, they'll probably look better with a good dose of inspiration to back them ;D Do you do the magic numbers thing?
Are the rocks that colour or was that something to do with the lighting? Tose contrasts are seriously impressive, probably would have been moreso in person. Good trip then? :D
The rocks are slightly different shades but the lighting accentuates it as the middle ridge is in shadow.
As for the inspiration. I am not sure what the magic number thing is?
One of the photographer friends I had before (that I haven't seen for ages now) once asked me why I kept "finding colours" (I only ever colour pick if I need an exact match for whatever reason otherwise I tend to eyeball everything) instead of "just plugging in numbers". Apparently he had a bunch of magic numbers for settings that made most things look good so if he was low on inspiration he would just plug those numbers in to whatever filters or whatever it was he does when he edits and knows that what comes out will look all right.
Sorry for not being too clear, I have only ever done absolute bare minimum laughably basic photo editing so I only have a vague idea of what goes into it XD
Oh ok. I always edit each photo individually to what is pleasing to the eye.
