Is that HDR? looks well good congrats!
claustral (76 months ago | reply)
No HDR here. It was taken in 1987, nineteen years before I started using HDR. The scan from slide has used some "curve" adjustment though that does some of the tricks of HDR.

Is it easily accessible? i mean, how long is the trek before we actually get there.

love the composition & light rays
claustral (76 months ago | reply)
Thanks Oat! How to get there etc? Claustral is one of the most famous slot canyons in the Blue Mountains. Nevertheless it is serious wilderness and getting there requires abseiling skill, good skills with map and compass and a fair amount of equipment. This is not the place to learn to abseil! A number of people have died there due to falls and/or flash floods. So please, if you would like to visit, hitch up with one of the more experienced commercial groups after you've learnt some rope basics.
I have placed it on the map if you want to know where it is, though this is only approximate due to the low resolution of Yahoo! maps in this areas.

Claustral Canyon! Yay!
I nearly got hypothermia there about 25 years ago, with the ANU Mountaineering Club. It is a beautiful canyon. Doubt I'd manage it these days.
Thanks for the memory.

Very romantic and like a lost world. I keep expecting fairy tale characters to step into the light.

Nice

Your composition (ie, including just the right amount of foreground) offsets the brilliant light very effectively.

Hey Mark
I have come back to this photo several times now... it never ceases to amaze me. I'm contemplating doing a canyoning course this year and buying a EWA housing for my old mans Ricoh so I can go and take some of these types of images.... they are incredible.
