Wednesday Landscapes, 15 December 2021

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 another local creek, this time at sunrise as it enters the Pacific Ocean. Wavelets from the ocean were propagating up and across the creek as the creek's own ripples were headed downstream, generating the sort of confusion that can keep a photographer amused for hours.

A few weeks ago I visited a planet with an atmosphere of rich orange and amber tones. I returned for another look. Who wouldn't do so? Those warm colors were absorbed by the cyclonic storms and have been replaced with hues of blue, gray, and occasionally white. Eventually these colors will, in turn, be absorbed by greens. It will take approximately one Earth year for the gold tones to return.

Not too mention Chaos Theorists.

 

I shot this in glorious apple colour and the resulting bw conversion (landscape bw preset in LR) looks like IR to me which I’m not too keen on

Ludmilla, don't beat yourself up for the IR appearance. Besides, the image includes a rather comprehensive range of grayscale tones to satisfy most photogs, in my uneducated opinion.

Don't worry about the cyclones. It's the maelstrom on the planet's surface that's more threatening.
