Mount Olympus, Greece

redhairkid · 15th January 2011, 9:09 PM

Hey Guys

Thought I'd share a few pics I took while attempting to climb Mt Olympus in Greece. Its the first 'mountain climb' I've done and I have to say it was a lot more difficult than I expected. The first part of the climb to the refuge is quite easy. The second part is quite tiring as there is no clear path which leaves you with the only option of making your own path. Going up is always easier than coming down. Unfortunately Zeus was nowhere to be found.

#1 takes the cake. I would have preffered a bit more green but it works the way it is

number 6, reminds me of Alan Wake

number 3 is my favourite, I think if you gave it a little contrast and some curves adjustment in LAB it would be even better, but that's a personal taste thing. The lines and textures work great as it is

I really like the last two misty shots as well.

It seems to rise like some sort of Kilimanjaro above the Grecian Plains...

Yeah, I thought the same thing. Great shot.

Thanks for the replies

. I'm working of an uncalibrated monitor so I'm unsure of how these images appear on your screens. To someone with a more accurate monitor, do they look right for printing?
