'Townsville-Magnetic Is' Photo

Photographer’s Note

Having moved up north to Townsville a couple of months ago I am still finding my way around this area,
shot this one from Castle Hill looking over to Magnetic Island (still have yet to visit), the temperture here is way hotter than Brisbane and the
wet season is due before long, overall I like this tropical city in North Queensland.

hi ian, amazing colours, i like this image - your new town looks like a project on a design desk of an architect preparing a draft of the marketing brouchure of new real estate; so this is how your new home looks like! nice;
best wishes, jerzy

Hi Ian,
Great cityscape. I like the oblique
light rays over the city and the nicely textures. Good POV, clors and depth of field.
Well done.

The late afternoon light has given this an unusual colour cast, Ian, but if you've done no PP on it, then I suppose it must be real. Looks like Townsville Grammar has really improved its sporting facilities since I lived there 10 years ago. You'll find some great photo opportunities over on Magnetic Island. Cheers . . . David

Hello Ian. A very pleasant sight. I think it was shot in late afternoon. Your exposure is really fantastic. and of course you have exposed the background also really well. I think you have had an excellent location on this hill, overlooking this pretty town. good work. I enjoyed it. regards. Behrang

Hi Ian, I like the bright green spots highlighted by the shinning sun in this picture. You have done a good job for the contrast and depth. I enjoy the PoV very much.

Hi Ian, I like this kind of views and this looks like a nice little town. The picture makes me think of visiting the country so I guess it is a success. There is a heavy cyan cast on it though. Unreal as they may be everyone seems to like the colors, so be it.

Hi Ian,
A colourful panorama of this scenic area. It looks very warm and humid here. I like the POV and the ocean colour. Good proportions, with the mountains in the background well seen. An alluring shot. Well done.

Hi Ian - wow what a change from the gray-brown water I saw in August. Great vantage point and nice strong colours.

chinchini (27335) 2005-10-24 14:25

Bonsoir Ian,
Une très belle prise de vue "aérienne" sur ce panorama formidable. Le PP est agréable quoique je l'ai trouvé un peu trop bleu au départ. Belle POV.
Bravo !

Hello Ian,
It looks like a well planned city. The beautiful sunlight over buildings and trees are looking good.
Great saturation of colours and depth of field.
Thanks for sharing.
I wish you and your family a Happy and Prosperous New Year.

Hi Ian
Great scene although I do believe it is a bit saturated.
Almost a mountain but not quite Castle Hill is a perfect place for a 360 degree view of Townsville.
Gret POV and DOF.

Peter

Hej Ian,

Dont know if you yet have visited Magnetic Isl. but I remember from my visit 1991 that it was beatutiful tracks to walk. Me and my friend started in horseshoe bay and went over the hills bak to the habour. On our way we saw two koalas.

Your photo is very well presented and I like the view showing both Townsville and the island. The sea has an amazing blue colour.
Hälsningar
