Horseshoe Lake, Michigan

please view larger, thank you!

I am glad you said to view larger, it really makes it come alive. The colors are beautiful and I love the reflections in the water. Beautiful image.

 

Best Regards,

Dick... I don't know how I missed this one, but having found it now I have to say the large view is so real, I feel as though I'm standing there. That is my highest compliment for a landscape... Mike

 

 

Thank you very much, Debra, Ross, Jean-Marc, Monte and Mike! The colors are changing fast here and this week it's pouring rain. Snow is on it's way. I was lucky to catch a bit of sun and blue sky when I took this last Saturday.

 

My best to all!

Very nice autumn color potpourri, Dick. Enjoy as long as it takes... Compliments - El

Thank you very much, El! always good to hear from you!

 

Have a good weekend!

 

Dick

Beautiful peek at what's to come. There's about the same amount of color down here.

Hello Tim,

 

Good to hear from you! I think our color peaked here this last weekend. We had a bit of snow on the ground this morning. My work and family have been keeping me busy...in a good way. Less time with the camera, though. I guess it goes in cycles.

 

Keep shooting!

Gorgeous scene well exposed and composed. The colors are pretty without being oversaturated. This is really great, Dick...and great to see that you are so productive.

 

I saw you mentioned to Tom Keller you are interested in printing. My recommendation is a spyder 3 calibrator and then I print via white house custom color (whcc.com). Their prices are reasonable and their color prints are exceptional. Black and whites are good too but I miss darkroom prints. Give them a try! There is nothing cooler than seeing 11x17" copies of you work (I have printed 24x36 from my D300 on macro work...radical).

 

If you want to monkey with cropping and resizing, Genuine Fractals 6.0 preserves detail much better than the photoshop enlarging algorhythms. Worth trying if you want to enlarge to a size that requires strange interpolation (e.g. if you want to enlarge to 122% as opposed to 200%).

 

Great photographs...keep them coming.

 

One other thing: You may enjoy the "Nikon DSLR Forum" at flickr. Fun group, weekly challenges, civil discourse.

 

Cheers!

Jay,

 

Good to hear from you! Printing is a dilemma for me. I've read about Spyder calibration software. The time just seems to fly away and PN is relatively easy. I know I'll get around to it. It seems that I'm just beginning.

 

Thanks for visiting!
