Latrobe Valley
THE PHOTO:
View across the Latrobe Valley, east of Melbourne, with the Loy Yang Power Station creating it’s own cloud (Yallourn power station is shown middle-left of frame). Taken during a short driving/camping trip at the end of last year. Here’s the remarkably similar Google Street View, showing the spot the image was taken.
POST-PROCESSING:
Almost entirely processed in LightRoom, including B&W treatment. Mostly crop, levels, small vignetting. Minor dodge/burn and curves in Photoshop. I chose black and white because of the sky, and using the black and white filter I could increase the contrast between the clouds (both artificial and real) and the background.
