rkynast 1 Posted June 7, 2008 I managed a trip to the desert while it was in bloom. This was cropped from the original. Link to comment
jmcconnell2 0 Posted June 15, 2008 The earthy colors and that awesome sky make a powerful composition. Thanks for the help with my tank pic. Link to comment
aepelbacher 0 Posted June 15, 2008 This is my favorite of the three new uploads, by far. The sky is dramatic (you know how I love a dramatic sky!) and the colors in the foreground are wonderful. You had nice lighting to avoid harsh shadows and still have the nicely colored scene. Link to comment
rkynast 1 Posted June 28, 2008 Lou Ann: Thanks again for stopping by. The sky was something else that day and all I had to do was wait a few minutes to either have full sun, part sun, or complete shade. I have no idea what the name of that flowering plant is in the foreground - I suppose I should do some research - but it was about chest high seemed pretty fragile. Jim: The colors in this area are a bear to duplicate accurately. I took a gray card but was not professional enough to shoot it... Thanks for stopping by. Link to comment
dominiquedodge 0 Posted July 20, 2008 Great sky and colours in this wonderful landscape. I find I'm craving a tiny bit more space on the left, or perhaps alternatively the pillar could be cropped down the centre to "tidy up" the left edge . Still very nice as it is though. And I look forward to viewing more or your work. Link to comment
rkynast 1 Posted July 21, 2008 Hi Dominique, it is good to hear from you and thanks for taking time to analyze this image. I just returned from my sister's wedding in Oregon and have not had time to do much photography. I've posted the original for you to see what I was thinking. The formation on the left seemed much too dominant to be kept in the photo and gave the viewer two focal points, which was a big distraction. I cropped the left side in an attempt to accent the plant in front. From what you are telling me, it didn't work. Thanks again for stopping by. Link to comment
