The Cliffs
no images were found
Another reprocessed image. I fought valiantly against the high noise in the original tonemapped image. When I originally processed it, I was discouraged because of the loss of detail in the cliffs. My trusty old D80 did not perform well at higher ISO.
This time around, I decided to embrace the defects and make them work for me. I gave it a pano crop to eliminate some of the thick distracting grass in the foreground. There is also a companion images to this one, almost a mirror image showing the O’Brien’s Castle on the right. I’ll post that one tomorrow.
The Cliffs of Moher was the most spectacular place we visited on the trip. It made the “whirlwind tour” list on the recommendation of a friend and a quick Google Images search. We were there in the early afternoon on a cold, overcast and very windy day. I think there was a bit of drizzle in the air as well. While I was thrilled to be there, I wondered what the scene would be like at dawn or dusk, with some clear sky.
It was not easy to get to. We were staying in a rented cottage in Clonmel. From there the drive to the Cliffs was about 3 hours. We decided when we visit again, we would spend a couple of days on the west coast near the Cliffs.
I hate you. This is so awesome.
This shot is ridiculous, I love the processing work. What plugins/etc did you use? Seriously fantastic work.
Just beautiful.
I hate you too…this is EPIC.
Cliffs of Moher…what a damn awesome name.
Love what you did here with it.
This is phenomenal. Great processing for a lovely scene.
Fantastic shot! It is fun to go back and reprocess images after learning more. Wow!
I don’t know you, but I’ll jump on the hate bandwagon :o) Great capture and processing.
This is beautiful. I want to sit there all day long.
I remember you telling me about these images mate, and they don’t disappoint. Freaking awesome!
Definitely love the softness of this scene. Beautiful image!
Hey Bob,
Crazy cool image! This is a great place to shoot, hope to make it back someday. Love your processing!!! & your pano crop!
Wow. I’m so glad I reprocessed this image! I’m completely overwhelmed by the comments. Thanks so much!
Love the Cliffs of Moher! If you ever go back, check out the Cliffs of Mulloghmore. Not as remote and just as dramatic IMHO with some castles perched along the edges. Great shot!
Holy smokes that’s a great shot! I love the processing!
Outstanding imagery Bob. I hope youll have a nice huge print made of this as it is a serious wall-hanger!
I love the tea-stained effect.
What an amazing shot! It’s impressive to see great results from a single raw file.
Beautiful photo from single raw image. The fog adds a great touch to the overall photo.
lovely image – the processing works very well – sort of bleak!
