    Simpson Desert Photo

    I know it’s a Toyota, but I thought this photo was worth sharing, not just for it’s subject, but because of it’s quality. Wish I could take pics like this, but think I’d need a significant camera upgrade. Photo is by a friend Rob Gray ( http://www.robgray.com) who has given me permission to share it. (If anyone would like to share it elsewhere please make sure you attribute it to Rob.

    I just compared that to a few of my Simpson photos that I had considered good and realized how they pale in comparison.
    I think mine always look good to me because of the memories they invoke.

    The pale colours you mention TPC, normally have had a little boost from photo development software, like Ronin's excellent panorama. There's no secret to it either, but many shots out of camera are a little flat.

    You can actually change your camera colour rendition profiles and continue to use them 'as they come', or you can import them into one of the many photo processing programs and give them a little help.
    Between Patrols ATM. Had a beaut GU with 6.5 Chev TD. Next is a GU ute with a 4.5 litre Cummins conversion and a camper on the back.

    A few more for fun LOL!

    In all honesty I think you take some pretty good photos Cuppa, the majority of good pics are a result of at least a little post production work even with good cameras.
