[Leslie Reid]

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.

 

A few days ago I spent some time trying to make a chain-link fence disappear while I was shooting from an old railroad bridge. Radical cropping works (the tree), as does putting the lens right next to the fencing to reduce the image of the wire to a diffuse shadow and then using a brush to lighten those lines (the river; the lines are slightly blurred but because they're away from the center of interest they don't jump out at you).

 

What worked best, though, was to shift position slightly between several images to ensure that every part of the scene was wireless on at least one image, then focus stack the sequence of images—the out-of-focus wire simply disappears:

This is as close as I could come to a fence in resent shots. It's sort of a 2 foot tall fence.

The fence became my focal point in the larger beach landscape at Cape May as the day drew to a close and drizzle moved in. There was about a 30 ft drop where the fence also hung down. At the time I wasn't equipped to effectively photograph the rocky beach in the distance, so the moody dune fencing seemed just fine. The deposition of sand was drastically altered after superstorm Sandy. The drop has been filled in and the rocky features are all covered. I didn't see the fence during our last visit.

Couple days late, but I just noticed the fence theme. This one is North Dakota, 1972 taken with a Yashicamat
