Thanks Mary Anne:-) This gets covered by water with certain tides & the environment here doesn't know whether to be under water or above. The light stuff on the ground is salt.

Not the most scenic of landscapes, but you certainly managed well with the contrasty light and shadows.

Thanks Jano & Tommy:-)

The 1/2 f-stop brighter exposure is a bit more natural than the Manly Building I think. Well framed for a 95% viewfinder. -tv

Thanks Penny:-) I'm really pleased that with the saturation turned up in the camera that it hasn't made the sky way too blue.

Nicely framed, great contrast, and gotta love that blue sky. Penny Street

Thanks Techo & Doug:-) The 10-22 works really well, it seems to be a great lens.

The contrast and colors looks great. Shot at 10mm, this looks really good. Always look forward to seeing more shots you get with that lens.

Thanks Troy:-)
I shot in Faithful picture style & upped the settings to......
Sharpness. .7
Contrast ....4
Saturation ..3
Colour Tone 0
And when downsizing in PS set the setting at the bottom of the dialogue box to Bicubic Sharper. Then the picy doesn't soften as you downsize it.

Fantastic! You have your camera settings pegged. Care to share what they are? -- Troy
