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.

Here’s a sunset at Klamath Lake, in southern Oregon, from a few years ago. And yes, that is indeed a volcano.

Another view of Seal Rock in late afternoon light. We have plane tickets and plan to return in May, so hopefully all will go according to plan. The pinkish foam on the water is ever present. In one area the rock formations work with the wind and churn the foam up into a spinning vortex. At other times the foam can be blown about up onto the road and splats on cars driving by. It happened to me often when I lived in the area. We have 2 trips to the west coast planned this year and I can't wait to get back.

Allan,

It's nice to see an image of Great Falls of the Potomac. It's a marvelous place for photography and I can't think of the last time I saw an image from there posted on pnet. My great grandfather was commissioned to paint the falls in 1919. I have many early photographs that he took of the area. I have been there a couple of times and really like it.

Thanks Laura! I live fairly close to Great Falls on the Maryland side (C&O Canal) and go there several times a year, I never get tired of it. I've photographed it at least five separate occasions with examples on my Flickr page... I should probably create an album solely dedicated to it!

 

What a great connection you have to the falls... a part of its history! It would be fascinating to see the perspective of that place from over 100 years ago. And your image of Seal Rock is brilliant, I've never been there but looks to be a lovely place to photograph as well.
