Leslie Reid Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 You are invited to upload one or more of your landscape photos and, if you’d like, to accompany your image with some commentary: challenges you faced in making the image? your intent for the image? settings? post-processing decisions? why you did what you did? the place and time? or an aspect you’d like feedback on? And please feel free to ask questions of others who have posted images or to join the discussion. If you don’t feel like using words, that’s OK too—unaccompanied images (or unaccompanied words, for that matter) are also very much welcomed. As for the technicalities, the usual forum guidelines apply: files < 1 MB; image size <1000 px maximum dimension. I spent an exquisite morning at Fern Canyon (Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park) last week with two visiting photographer friends—exquisite both because of the setting and because of how much fun it is to hang around with other photographers. I selected this image of the canyon wall because I like its monochromaticity, verticality, and ferniciousness. (And I didn't touch the saturation or vibrance sliders.) 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andy_szeto Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 Upper Antelope Canyon. Can only booked the non-photographer 7am tour. So no sun beam pictures. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laura Weishaupt Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 What a coincidence......I was in Fern Canyon last week also.:D We all had a wonderfulicious time in the land of big ocean, the highest trees, and unending beauty. It was good to be back on the California coast. We spent a morning on Trinidad Beach with plenty of sun. Soon the onshore flow brought swirling fog which makes the whole place look other worldly. That's a different image. This is a 13mm view. It's a fun place to play with wide angle. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim_Lookingbill Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 Well it's no Antelope Canyon, but my local Panther Canyon Park offers some decent landscapes. I love the look of white rocks in overcast light. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glenn McCreery Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 This a panoramic view of the developing thunderstorm that I posted last week, but was taken at a slightly different location, and includes a center-pivot irrigation system in, I think, a wheat field. The horizontal field of view is about 120 degrees. Three images, using a 24mm lens on a full-frame Canon 5D IV camera, were used to stitch the panorama in Photoshop. The camera was hand-held since I had no tripod with me. I can see that I need to make it to Fern Canyon and Trinidad sometime. I have a couple of photographer friends who live in Trinidad. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura Weishaupt Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 Glenn, I loved the shot you posted last week, and this one is really nice. Sometimes that hand holding works well. Yes, you'll like Fern Canyon. I'll post one from there next week. Bring your waterproof boots. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sallymack Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 (edited) Please let me know if this picture doesn't fit the "landscape" category. I was photographing egrets on a pond when, turning around, these turkeys were disappearing into the bushes. I had time to get off one shot.

Good instinctual timing. I’d probably see it as more of a nature than a landscape shot, but I don’t particularly care for using categories as a means of exclusion, so I’m glad you posted it.

The egrets on the pond would have fit my definition of "landscape" better but I liked this picture. I was shooting landscapes, turkeys intervened. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
