The Chanctonbury Ring

A great perspective here - it looks almost like a fish-eye. I would perhaps like to see a little more detail in the trees but a fine shot!

Thanks Colin,

 

I agree about the trees, I'll see what I can do in photoshop, but I'm still a bit of a novice. Glad you like the shot (didn't know if people would with this one).

 

Regards, Nick.

Nicholas, looks like a long walk.

info-help in Photoshop please do try shadow & highlight, you will find this under Image then adjustments and then shadow/highlight. this should help.

but it would be better if you started with RAW files.

Give it a go and let me know.

I like pix like this.Got a few pathways and roadways too. Some of us appreciate a perspective

like this. It's a little bit too much elongated,it distorted a bit the horizon.

Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the comment Sally.

 

This isn't a fisheye lens as has been suggested, but a humble 28mm. The horizon is not distorted, even though it looks it. Believe it or not, the topography of the ground is actually like this. The Chanctonbury Ring is a ring of trees planted in the 18th century on top of a much older iron age hill fort on the South Downs (hills in southern England). The fort was built there because of the natural defendability of this unusual hill. You can see the real horizon in the far distance at the extreme right of the frame, behind the hill.

 

Thanks for looking, and I'm pleased that you liked the photograph.

 

Kind regards, Nick.

I like the Space

Since you were unsure, here is another vote for this one: very nice. If you do tweak it in photoshop, I hope you post your results so we amateurs can see the difference.

Oh, this is really nice, Nick. I loved it even before I saw the path on the thumbnail, but it is even better with the path.

Any comments would be welcome - Thanks.

i think i went there once in my childhood

really not sure about this one; i'm wondering whether I would have cropped it to more of a portrait attitude so that the path heads to the top left and the people (are they people???) are kind of in the rule of thirds position (I hate rules). but then you lose the left trees. that's just my 2-cents, back to you Kent

7/7!
