Whilst eating my cereal this morning the TV show I was watching was broadcasting from Kangaroo Island, South Australia. Having visited there
recently I though about Remarkable Rocks which truly are photogenic.
[attachment=12258:remarkab...rocks_13.jpg]
I thought that there must be thousands of places out there that have great rocks. So come on, show us your rocks.
Cheers,

Hi Tom: Here are a few for you:
Mike.
Thanks for the reply, I was starting to think that clouds were more popular than rocks.
Here are some of our most popular rocks – The Pinnacles in Western Australia.

Nice rocks. Karlu Karlu (The Devils Marbles) in the Northern Territory is also a great place to see rocks. Aboriginal people believe that these boulders are the eggs of the Dreamtime's Rainbow Serpent.

Rocks and clouds, that would be cool.
Here are some rocks I've been wondering what to do with. I think they will end up as B&W prints.

Thank you both very much. I've been struggling with the issue of how to achieve a visual unity with these, before I travel half way round the world again to have another go, and attempt the stones I didn't want to photograph last time. Number 1 isn't part of the series, and number 9 I may leave as is. But I think properly converted and printed they will make more sense as a whole in B&W. Unfortunately I have no idea yet how to really do this. Um, another learning curve coming up this year . David

Vedauwoo in southeast Wyoming has some great rocks - 1.4bn year old Sherman granite sculpted into some remarkable shapes.

It's highly popular with the local climbing community.

Gabor, I do believe you are right. It must be the soil. Here we seem to only grow these:

One of mine. I remember thinking something when I took it, but I'm not now sure what it was. Looking at it, I can't quite work out whether it's worth anything or if it's just wasting hard disk space. Comments, anyone?

An interesting thread. Considering that they don't move or change their appearance much, I've always found rocks to be a fascinating subject and it seems quite a lot of you do as well. Anyway here are a few more:

Cheating slightly here; this is actually an outdoor sculpture called Deirbhle's Twist in Mayo, Ireland. Although they *are* real rocks!

Here is one of mine:

I'm new to using this board, so I hope no one will mind too much if I use this thread as an experiment to see if I can learn how to post a photo into a thread topic.
For me, The Windows Section at Arches NP rocks! (er, excuse the pun.)
Commence experiment:

Could someone reply or send me a PM and tell me how the little black framed reduced size photos are done? I tried looking under the "help" section but didn't see it. Anyone able to point me in the right direction? TIA.

Here are some rocks from Bombo, two hours south of Sydney.
Bombo is a world class geological site, so what did they do? They built a sewerage works in the middle of it.
If you were a Power Rangers fan you may have seen the quarry as scenes were shot there. The quarry is also popular for still and video ads. One video had a SUV going down from Bombo and then travelling across land and going up the Grand Canyon.
These pics were taken with my first digital camera, the Nikon 990, how things have changed Au$250 for a 64MB card.

Cool, it works.

More from the Windows Section in Arches.
Great. I guess some feel that the color is overdone, but sometimes I like it that way, and often I too stress the colors:
Btw, this is the Shakespeare Arch in Kodachrome Basin, Utah. The namesake was not the English writer but the rancher of the park, who found the formation.
-
Great. I guess some feel that the color is overdone, but sometimes I like it that way, and often I too stress the colors:
Not sure if you mean the colors overdone in mine, but both, incl the turret arch shot were shot years ago on velvia slide film, hence the more saturated warm & cool colors.
Cheers.

Funny you should ask.....NO, I wouldn't feel comfortable.
No word of lie, here is the rock's 'road' sign. It sits a few meters away from the rock. Somehow somebody with particularly poor driving skills couldn't avoid it. LOOK at the scenery! How could you NOT notice it/avoid it? Luckilys/he hit the marker and not the rock!!

Are those all on the Emerald isle? I am particularly curious about the formation in #5 (bottom row, left). What is that?

I guess I should include some images of our best known rock. Uluru is big, it is a 9.4 km walk around the base. It is getting harder to take photographs there as more areas get photography restrictions and you have to have a permit for commercial photography. Besides that it is a great place to visit and how many places do you see people line up with champagne in their hands to look at a rock?

Ok Mike, Here's round two. The first is from Volgelsang Pass, Yosemite backcountry. The other two are from Pointe Au Baril in the Georgian Bay.

Agawa Rock, Lk. Superior Provincial Park, on the north shore of Lk. Superior.
This sacred native site is special in the winter when snowshoes are needed to reach the massive rock wall. Along the trail, a warning sign
notes the loss of life when waves have washed the unaware viewers into the cold water. This is not Disney Land----The respect of native
tradition and skills are advised to view the faded pictographs which were painted there.

As a lot of these photos seem to be from Aus., I'll put one in by and Australian living in the States. Here's Shiprock in NW New Mexico; Shiprock is the peak in the middle back; the rock in the front is one of the dikes radiating out from it. Unfortunately I would only ever get there around noon.

I've just spent a week down the South Coast of NSW. These images are from Mimosa Rocks around 400 km south of Sydney. The three occasions I have visited the rocks have been around Easter (autumn in the southern hemisphere) and the weather has been cloudy and grey. The colour and shape of the rocks is something that has to be seen to be appreciated.

I just got back from a couple of weeks in Southern Utah -- many amazing rocks.
Here is one of the oddest I have seen anywhere. It was about a foot across, and there was one similar one nearby, but I didn't see anything like it anywhere else. Is it a fossil? Some weird erosion pattern (there are many such in Utah)?
[attachment=13324:utah_090...201030aW.jpg]
-
Well, it's definitely showing a pattern of erosion. The question is, what caused the depression in the first place? Is there a softer layer overlying a harder layer underneath, or was there a footprint that eroded away at the edges? Hmmm...

Bill, I went to your site and started to look at it, but I gave up when I realised that every shot was ruined by your large, obtrusive copyright notice. I understand the need for some protection, but I really think you've dramatically overdone it. It looks as if you have some good work there, but I can't be bothered to imagine what the images might look like if they were unspoiled.

This was exactly my reaction, too. I quit looking once I realized that I couldn't see the scenes for the "billboards". If you want to use included copyright notices, I suggest making them much smaller and placing them near an edge of the image, not across the middle.

Thanks for the advice guys. I think I can make a universal change to the watermark, so I'll try to come up with something more subtle.

Thank you both very much. I've been struggling with the issue of how to achieve a visual unity with these, before I travel half way round the world again to have another go, and attempt the stones I didn't want to photograph last time. Number 1 isn't part of the series, and number 9 I may leave as is. But I think properly converted and printed they will make more sense as a whole in B&W. Unfortunately I have no idea yet how to really do this. Um, another learning curve coming up this year . David
I think that B&W is the way to go ..... following what many noted photographers have done in the past. Rich, bold tones!!!

collum, those are remarkable rocks, they make me so very curious, what are they, can you explain some more?
In the netherlands we don't have rocks, or, better, no rocky grounds, only some in the very south and east. The rest is all alluvial, sediments from rocky Germany and Switserland. But during the ice-ages the scandinavian glaciers brought some real big stones, collecters-items. I don't have images from them. So, some summers ago in an Belgian green river I was busy with imaging the reflecting greens. Between the green a rock, hardly a quality-image, although the green is nice:

Hi all, first post here. These are Murphy's Haystacks near Streaky Bay, South Australia aptly named due to resembling haystacks. Took these with my old 350D and 18-55 kit lens. Pity I didn't have the 40D and 10-20mm back then. The haystacks are formed from ancient granite inselbergs dating back 1,500 million years. [The name inselberg comes from German insel, meaning island and berg, mountain.] The pillars and boulders in their present day form only go back as far as 100,000 years and have been formed by the uneven weathering of crystalline rock as densely fractured compartments break down through weathering more quickly than massive unfractured compartments. The distinction between the two forms is that pillars merge unknown with the underlying bedrock, but boulders are clearly detached. The haystacks are of a pink granite named Hiltaba granite after the homestead of the same name in the Gawler Ranges. It is extensive over the north-western Eyre Peninsula. The mottled colours on the surface of the haystacks are caused by growth of lichen, a tough plant organism which thrives on exposed granite. The granite hills of the district, including the haystacks, were buried by calcareous dune sand about 30,000 years ago. Subsequent erosion of the surrounding land surface has gradually revealed the forms we see today. Source http://www.murphys-haystacks.com/geo_simp.htm (http://www.murphys-haystacks.com/geo_simp.htm)

James Bond Island Phuket Thailand
Marc
[attachment=22326:IMG_5634...sBondIsl.jpg]
From Wikipidea "Ko Tapu is a steep rocky monolith, about 20 meters tall. This rock column lies approximately 200 meters offshore of the two-islet pair known as Ko Khao Phingkan (Thai: เกาะเขาพิงกัน, lit. "hills resting on each other island"). The islands are located within the Ao Phang Nga National Park. [1]
Departing from Phuket island, day-tours using longtail boats usually land at nearby Ko Khao Phingkan, where market booths are set up.
Ko Tapu has become a popular tourist attraction since it was featured in the James Bond movie The Man with the Golden Gun in 1974; for this reason, it is also often referred to as James Bond Island (the later 1997 James Bond film Tomorrow Never Dies also includes a scene in Phang Nga Bay, close to James Bond Island).
Scenes from the Bollywood movie Kaho Naa... Pyaar Hai were also shot here."

This weekend was the Queen's Birthday long weekend and I spent it down the NSW South Coast. I finally found the path to Glasshouse Rocks Beach at Narooma (third time lucky). I guess the locals want to keep it to themselves.
It was a great winter's day, sunny and 18°C (64°F).
Here's some of the day's pics.

Mushroom Rock is in Kalbarri, Western Australia. From the second shot it is easy to see how it got its name and the third shot shows how it got its shape.
I was happily shooting away when I thought the wave behind the rock was big, then very big and then I thought… I've got to get out of here. The wave chased me 30–40 metres across the rock shelf. A good reminder that the coast can be dangerous at any time.

Actually the images are a good example of 'liquid cloning'. On my previous trip to the Pinnacles I had to clone out all of the footsteps around the rocks. On this occasion rain was bucketing down as I drove to the park and I wondered if I should even enter it. As I approached the park gates the rain stopped and there was blue sky and white clouds. The sandy soil had drained nearly all of the water and there was only a few puddles left. The most fortunate thing that occurred however was the rain had washed away all the footprints and saved me hours of cloning. Now that is liquid cloning for you.

Wilsons Promontory, Victoria Australia. The Tidal River is typical of many southern rivers in that it gets its tea colour from the tannin in the local trees. The first rock is called Whale Rock for some strange reason.

Just heading off on a two week photography tour of the South Coast so I thought I should give my thread a bump before it falls too far down.

So they are, and I re-iterated the history nearly verbatim.
I managed to see a good chunk of the NT, went down the Queensland coast, across to Perth and settled there for the remainder of '07. Never did see the Pinnacles despite a few visits up to Geraldton. There are some great rocks up in Kakadu too!

The Pinnacles appear a couple of times in the thread and are a great place for rocks and clouds.

Thanks, what I think is the is the beauty of these objects is that they are a product of digital technology. These images were taken around the middle of the day on a dull grey rock shelf. I was there, I had my camera and I couldn't see anything interesting so I experimented. One of the images I took I just shot into the reflected sun which basically breaks all the rules. The image I got looked good and was nothing like what I saw. So I continued the experiment taking around another 30 images.
What I really like about digital cameras is they allow you to experiment. If you had a 5x4 or 10x8 camera you wouldn't take 30 experimental images in the conditions that I was in. The ability to experiment and to get instant feedback is one of the true advantages of digital technology. The fact that my strongest images from a previous trip were taken in the middle of the day and on a pretty boring strip of coastline are testament to that. All too often I see technically perfect and beautifully printed large format images which are so safe and boring. Perhaps we should be handing out digital cameras to these photographers and say go out out and experiment and then when you have found interesting images then use to you large format camera to take the image.

Something a bit more conventional., Glasshouse Rock, Narooma on the NSW South Coast. Summer is upon us and Sydney is suffering under heatwave conditions. Meanwhile Queensland is just about to greet a category 5 cyclone, as if the floods weren't enough.

I like the foreground rock in the first one, the second one doesn't do anything for me, but the third is my favourite. The light brown rock on the left balances the background one on the right, and I really like the placement of the tide line mid-frame. Well done!

This is a rock that moves around on a mudflat! See those tracks? That's where the rock has been before. Don't take my word: Google the phrase "racetrack playa". P.S. awesome thread...I feel sorry for those without some rocks in their lives.

BTW, is that like driving through wild horse country at night? Five horses on the road, and I missed all of them. And stayed on the road. :)

(http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ltwrwP2RxXY/Tfmf3SRacsI/AAAAAAAAA8A/Ols4C850pZE/s1600/kangaroos.jpg)
The signs are there for a purpose, I hit a kangaroo a few months back 5km out of Cobar in the NSW outback. I try not to drive at dusk and early evening, this is the time kangaroos come out to graze. Unfortunately the country town that I thought I could stop the night at just wasn't right and Cobar the next town was 260km away. I nearly made it but as the taxi driver who took me out to the car the next day said, you are more likely to find them close to town. It took three and a half weeks to get the car the approximately 700km back to Sydney ad another two weeks to fix it. The taxi driver had been a roo shooter and he picked out three roos on the way to the car. He asked me what colour it was and when I said it was red he confirmed how stupid they are,. It had hopped off the road when I hit the brakes but when I took my foot off the brake he hopped back in front of the car. The tow truck driver who took me out to my car told me he had hit four roos the previous night, three in one go.
Murphey's Haystacks are very close to 2000km from Sydney, I hate to think how long it would take to get the car back from there.
So it's rare that I take sunrise/sunset shots unless they are close to my accommodation.
Wild horses aren't a problem but we do have over 1 000 000 wild camels in Australia. I have seen the rare camel roadkill and I'd hate to think what a mess they would do to a car.

Tom. they are all good, but I really like the first. I think it is the roundness of the rocks combined with the vertical trees that really does it for me. Like tranquility fighting with tension. Really fine. The irregular shapes of the third set of rocks is also very good. Excellent work!

It's a tranquil place now but 160 years ago it would have been a whole different spot. Sofala, just down the road had 40 000 people looking for gold. I've seen people panning for gold a few metres downstream from the images. I'm surprised that there aren't people there now what with the price of gold being what it is.

It was. It's an abandoned tuna fishery. Pretty hard to find and out of the way of most Sicily itineraries, but well worth it photograhically. While there were buildings and piers, I found the rocks picured most intriguing. The seagulls seemed to be waiting for the fishing boats to return..

Was that intentional?
Thanks for sharing your work, you two!

Haha! No, it was accidental. I was changing it (going from 2 stop to a 1 stop) and dropped it. I caught it, but at a weird angle and put enough stress on it that it broke. New on already on order...

Glad to see that this one is still running. Clearly the supply of Remarkable Rocks is holding up well and long may it do so.
Here are a few more from the North of Scotland.

A triangulation point, used by the Ordnance Survey for mapping. They stopped using them several years ago (using GPS mapping now), and many were removed, but a campaign to keep some as a reminder of times past, means that there's still a few dotted around the landscape. This is one of the remaining 'trig points', and they seem to draw walkers (seeking the high points), such that any visiting space alien might conclude that they held some religious significance for people.
Not exactly a rock, but a stony concretion nonetheless, so a bit of poetic licence with this one.
-
Nice one Bill,
I’ve always liked trig points as they guarantee a good view.
I did Ten Tors as a kid and have a huge respect for the quality of the OS maps that trig points allowed. With a map and compass on Dartmoor it’s nice not having to worry about fog.
You might know anyway but there is a good website about trig points,
http://www.trigpointinguk.com/
Nicholas Crane in his series “The map Man” did a good article as well,
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/travel/731568/Britain-Master-of-all-he-surveys.html
Quote;
“The pillar on top of Cadair Idris in Wales took 12 days to construct, and required a team of packhorses rented from a Dolgelly coal merchant to carry the 42 cwt of chippings, sand and cement to the 3,000ft summit of the mountain. In his report, the builder complained of "terrible" mists and heavy rain. “
Puts carrying a DSLR and tripod in perspective. ;-)

Just down the road!? Why aren't we seeing more of your exploring here...I hear Wynn Bullock calling to you, "Mysteries all around, even in the most familiar things, waiting only to be perceived"
Both of your posts invite me to find this place, to want to know this place... (It would take more than Neptune's call to drag me away,) From the "visual notes" you have made you could fill long passages of time in this place. What a landscape!, with what looks to be an amazing geological story to tell. Selfishly as the viewer I want to see you drown out my thinking, my looking, with your seeing. I wish for you the gift of long time in this wonderful location by dark and all manner of wonderful light.

My first one is of the probably one of the most beautiful pieces of rock that I've seen and had the pleasure of climbing on.

I've been watching too many videos online lately and I had to restart my computer. Bridge opens up automatically on restart and it happened to open up on my last trip to Tasmania.
Looking through the images I found shots of the exact same rocks you posted. My shots were take around midday on an overcast day, so they weren't much to mention. Sometimes it is a small world.

Ooh, so many great rocks!
Here's a few of my favorite rocks from a wonderful local recreation area, Hartman Rocks. I mountain bike there a couple times a week in the summer and ski there in the winter. So many interesting rocks to enjoy!
This rock has some rude names, but in the tourism brochures it's called Pinnacle Rock. ::)

That's very cool, pegelli. That looks like basalt or some such igneous rock, with the fracturing into relatively uniform units due to rate of cooling. The Giant's Causeway in Ireland nearby has the best known example of this phenomenon. Local to me in Missouri is another small example, Hughes Mountain - lots of reddish basalt "bricks" of varying size. Cool rocks, indeed!
-
Thanks for the comments, there's indeed fantastic amounts of beautiful basalt rocks in Iceland.
Here's another one, a bit to the side of the cave entrance, it's nicknamed "the organ rock"

Here's a few random ones from local sandstone shores

An unnamed overhang on a local cliff

Another unnamed (but deserving of one I think) local rock.

Love your first image, it reminds me so much of the Royal National Park which I roamed for years.
Cheers,

Thanks Tom, that one is from Botany National Park, so just up the road from the Royal. Was there (Royal) last weekend, great place.
I love the way the sandstone here weathers above the waterline, all the little honeycombs and promontories, and colours from white through to almost black.

More Bridestones.
-
we came across an interesting erosion pattern in the rocks while camping.

Rocks and clouds, that would be cool.
Here are some rocks I've been wondering what to do with. I think they will end up as B&W prints.

Hey, today is very possibly the best day in a long time. I started this thread to get LuLa photograhers to post their photography.
Today I might get to be able to afford a balloon ride over Cappadocia.

Very interesting rock and an excellent source for interpretation!

Rock in a shape of a frog - Georgian Bay on Bruce Peninsula
-
Nice froggie with heavy eyebrows.
-
Thank you, Eric!
Here is another shot from the same trail, this time looking up, with a view of the Lion's Head rock.

Nice froggie with heavy eyebrows.
Yes, the frog was an obvious image, especially with the thumbnail.

Great thread, which somehow I hadn't seen before. Adirondacks. Tree captures rock; I dare say this tree is unlikely to be blown over by high winds.

Lol, that reminded me of this rock. The Chamber of Commerce call it Pinnacle Rock but the locals have other names for it. :o
