The battle scene from the Chronicles of Narnia was filmed here.
Another view from Elephant Rocks
near Duntroon, North Otago, New Zealand. To be able to roam this area where the limestone rocks are estimated to be a million years old is a priviledge due to the generosity of the owners of this private land.
I really struggled with the fading light and am disappointed in the quality of this but perhaps the beauty of the scene makes up for that to some degree.
My thanks for your comments :)_

Never argue with an idiot. They'll drag you down to their level, then beat you with experience.
Breath taking scenery Lyn, I can understand why film crews love this location. It's a beautiful photograph Lyn but if you feel you can improve on it you can always return!

Certainly is a beautiful scene, Eve. I don't think you used your HDR plugin to recover that golden light spreading across the valley. That's tough landscape lighting when so much of it is compressed. the image is softer, but you can apply that to the recovered detail and tonal range quite easily.

Why are you disappointed Lyn. The scene looks wonderful with everything bathed in that glow from the low sun.

Smooth seas do not make skilful sailors.
Yes, I wish the DOF was longer, spreading beyond the Elephant Stones, but upon first seeing it as a thumbnail my response was "Religious bovine, the color contrast is gorgeous in this one!!!" So no worries (or do they say that in New Zealand?).

If you've ever wanted to make a difference but found it hard to believe that one person could... check out the Kiva Team Caedes discussion thread and discover that anything is possible.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.
I think that light did you a great service Lyn - this is gorgeous.

I think it's a lovely shot . I like the lighting and the color contrasts. Well done.

I would travel only by horse, if I had the choice. ~ Linda McCartney ~
Sure is and it has a lot of lovely blue to compliment it too. Such a grand scene, Lyn.

This is a great capture and I love the way you have captured the low sun falling across this landscape. Well done!

It might not be perfect, but Lyn I think you managed the lighting, and color layers very well. Tigs♥ =^..^=

So generous of you to share this top notch landscape with us, Lyn. How kind of the owners of the land to let you ramble around. This is what I call a breathtaking view. The golden hour adding some delightful warmth to this overwhelming panorama.
