Skyrail Cable Car Cairns - a photo on Flickriver

Here's a sneaky photo taken from inside the Skyrail cable car before the Kuranda cableway stop. We bought the diamond class experience only to find out in horror that all they did was remove the bottom metallic floor panel and wallah! the regular cable car view was magically transformed to the diamond view. #tourist-trap

If there was 1 thing that this journey to Cairns has taught me its composition, composition, composition. Having the tic-tac-toe grid there reminded me every time to actively hunt for an interesting composition. And having the histogram show up on my A6000 prior to taking the shot helped me get the exposure right.

Once taken into Lightroom not much else was done but to play around with the shadows, highlights, white and blacks, contrast, clarity and HSL of the colours. The image was sharpened in Photoshop using unsharp mask and minor dodging and burning was done to finish off the image. Didn't use any noise reduction for this one as ISO was 100 and I was satisfied with the low noise levels in the image.

Feel free to use, share, distribute, remix this picture as per its CC licence as always.

Until next time my lovely friends!
