Leslie Reid Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 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 some time dashing from puddle to puddle to find a view where reflections of both the moon and the pink clouds would show up well in a place where the sand ripples were well-defined. Once I had the images up on the screen at home, though, the composition for some reason wasn’t quite hanging together—until I cropped to exclude the moon itself. It turns out that the issue had been that there were one too many centers of interest. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leslie Reid Posted November 14, 2018 Author Share Posted November 14, 2018 Part two: David Rosen posted an intriguing challenge a couple of days ago at the end of last week’s thread, and I want to repeat it here so it wouldn’t be missed: “Here is an idea for a photo assignment. What's outside your hotel window?” I’m modifying it slightly to skip the hotel part, since I haven’t been in one of those in years. Anyway, as soon as I read David’s post, I picked up the nearest camera and looked out the window by my computer, resolving to find some kind of interesting photo there. After trying unsuccessfully to focus beyond the screen to make it disappear, I decided to switch tactics and focus on the screen itself…here’s what I came up with. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura Weishaupt Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 With all the rain we've had there is plenty of puddle jumping and high water stream fording. Rain, like fog, makes many things more interesting. The last leaves of spice bush give the forest understory a nice dirty mustard golden glow. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikehegarty01 Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 This is a small pool of water about the size of a diner plate. there was fast moving water behind and I tried to contrast the two. If that makes since. I didn't get the exposure right and the white water was completely blown out. So I coped in and focused on the treas reflecting in the small pool. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn McCreery Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 Here, I was trying to make an obviously three-dimensional scene look more two-dimensional by increasing the contrast and sharpness of the background and by making the foreground and background luminosities similar. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
