A Rain Shower in California Cowboy Country (Yes, there are still

cowboys in California)

What do you think? Does the shadow of the windmill on the barn roof

help or hurt?

I think this would work a bit better if you raised the brightness level a little.

All in all, a great shot.

Great Shot(s). I'm curious about 1) where on the rim you were when you took this panorama and 2) THis is the first time I've seen someone add noise to a picture. It'd be interesting to show both w/ and w/o noise.

Again, this is a wonderful photograph

I'll bet you didn't know there is this sort of country in

California. This is about 10 miles east of Oakdale, CA, the self

proclaimed 'Cowboy Capitol of the World'. Lots of western movies

were made in this area and some ranchers still manage their cattle

on the back of a horse.

Canon 300D, 35mmF2

An attempt to capture the sunset in the water below. I'm learning

both the 300D and RAW conversion via Capture 1. This was the best of

several exposures. Comments?

My first submission to this forum with my new, more serious camera. I

intentionally overexposed the background w/ low backlight to set a

mood of many hours it takes to train a horse.
