[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.

I suppose this is an attempt to make up for my rather pathetic representation of green last week. Meanwhile, my 80D stopped communicating with its lenses a few months ago, and I found out that it was going to cost about the equivalent of a new mirrorless to get it fixed. The new mirrorless arrives tomorrow.

Grand Canyon from the air.  Taken on an American Airlines flight from Phoenix to Idaho Falls. The Colorado River flow through the middle of the canyon, and where the Little Colorado River joins the main river is seen in the distance.

This was taken on the Welland Canal trail in St. Catharine's.  I had to resize it and didn't know what dimensions to select or how it affected image quality.

If it's any help, when I resize images for PN, I try to make them 1200 px wide (for landscape shots) or 1100 px high (for portrait), using FastStone. Usually seems to work for me. Resizing is the last operation in PP.

I  would have tried for razor sharpness all image, and pulled down  the yellow vertical branch right of center out of field. Good exposure.

At the top of the forum Leslie gives guidance on the sizes recommended.

I have an 11x14 of this image framed in my family room.  It was shot on film about 20 years ago.  It is a loop trail off the main road through Shenandoah NP, VA.  I've always called it "Foggy Pines".

Thanks so much, that's very helpful.
