Black Cliff, Hallett Cove - HDR
Took this shot down at Hallett Cove Conservation Park. Had it in TV mode when I took these, by the time I noticed the tide had come in and could get back to this spot. Still turned out ok for HDR.
Three photos taken (-2,0,+2EV), then taken into Photomatix using Details Enhancer. Some colour adjustment done in Photoshop, USM and increase the contrast for the rock and cliff face.
Enjoy

Hallett Cove Conservation Park
Hallett Cove is one of Australia's most outstanding geological and archaeological sites, recording an Australian ice age some 280 million years ago and providing a treasure chest of more than 1,700 Aboriginal artefacts. Magnificently developed glacial pavements along the northern cliff tops are recognised as the best record of Permian glaciation in Australia and being of worldwide significance. The park also conserves native flora and fauna and has a beach for swimming and fishing.
History
Aboriginal stone implements were first discovered in Hallett Cove in 1934 with more than 1,700 artefacts being collected over a period of 30 years. Professor Ralph Tate was the first person to realise that South Australia had been subjected to an ice age when he discovered the cove's smoothed and striated glacial pavement in 1875. The area was proclaimed as a conservation park in 1976 for the protection of its outstanding scientific and historic features.
Natural Attractions
The fascinating geological history of Hallett Cove is traced in its dark Pre-Cambrian rocks which were once under a sea that covered a vast area of South Australia 600 million years ago. About 500 million years ago the region was squeezed by massive earth movements which folded rocks and formed them into mountain ranges. Such folds are clearly seen at the southern foot of Black Cliff and along the wave cut platform to the north. Four main periods of the geological history of Hallett Cove are described along the park's interpretative walking trails.
