Autumn Evening

A very pleasant if windy evening by Lake Abraham.

 

Canon 5D, 16-35mm 2.8L, 3 stop soft + 2 stop hard ND grads, f22, 1 second, ISO 100

This is absolutly beautiful, I dont know what else to say. I love the contrast between the yellows and blues. Beautiful photo, congrats on the capture.

Beautiful!

Fabulous compositon with eye popping colours - first rate!

Great perspective and a wonderful scope of colors! The essence of the scene is well captured! Doug

Interesting landscape composition with an unusual combination of color tones. Well done.

I must commend you on a landscape that is in a higher league than most.

Its interesting that I spent most of my life in Melbourne.

 

You clearly enjoy you travels.

 

One little thing that you will probably appreciate is the distortion on the horizon / end of water - the curvature. This is a typical wide angle. It got into some of my photos too. I found the only answer was the raw converter DxO, which corrects for optical shortcomings based on the DxO analyzer. I suggest you have a look, because with your striving for perfection, you will appreciate it. It will also fix the vignetting, which the Canon seems to do.

 

But, I really enjoy what you have and look forward to seeing more.

Technical details I'm no good at it. But I can tell that this picture ROCK.

Lovely evening. Esp love how you capture one corner of the sea within this Autumn landscape.

I'm aware of the distortion. When I feel it is necessary to correct through PS I do. It disturbs me a little here but the correction causes loss at the edges which I felt unbalanced the composition more than the distortion disturbed me. I have recently acquired a tilt-shift lens. Generally distortion in landscapes don't bother me, as they can give a greater sweep to the scene. However architecture shots are more of a problem and I bought the tilt shift to make sure things are straight in my pro work.

Looks like you've had fun at Abraham lake!

I thought Kootenay was the most spectacular of the parks (you can see my Floe Lake photos if you are interested).

This is a really lovely fall scene. I particularly like the blue hues so present at dawn. The distortion is not a distraction IMO.

BTW: were you at the Athabasca falls on Sept 12 early afternoon?

All I can say, Kah Kit, is, 'Bravo!' This is really very, very beautiful. I do love looking at your work. A 7/7 anonymously. Cheers! Chris

Wonderful shot your eye moves all over. Colors are perfect, great job.

Perfect composition! Cheers, J
