Sorry to hear about your troubles. I hope you are staying dry.

Thanks for viewing.

Thanks for viewing.

thought provoking. It makes a person wonder what her life is like down there.

Great use of long exposure. Very well done, thanks for sharing.

Thanks for viewing.

Very nice. How was the lighthouse lit?

Thanks for viewing.

Have you entered or are planning to enter this one in the Banff Mountain Photography contest at the banff centre yet? Because the judges are sure to know just how rare and wonderful this is. If you haven't and are interested just google banff centre and you'll find it. I'm sure you know about this because your fellow timecatchers Darwin Wiggett and Marc Adamus have both been honoured in this show (with Adamus taking top prize in 07).

Hi Mike,

 

This one is typical of your style. Technically perfect as always. Very calming, great colours and a wonderful sky. I should remember to stop in more often.

I've long since given up on p.net as a place where I can get constructive critiques. I pretty much use this place as a repository for all my work, I would have left for greener pastures a long time ago only it's too much work to get started somewhere else.

 

This one is ok, I usually try to avoid jet streams but it helps lead the eye to the hill nicely.

Thanks for viewing.

Those are star trails. Exposure time was some 400 seconds or so. Thanks for viewing everyone.

Thanks for viewing.

Great choice of DOF, nice background and saturation. Nice subject too, spring is just around the corner.

Thanks for viewing.

I enjoy the composition here, the eye wanders nicely from the bird, to the posts, to the boat. Very well seen and composed.

 

As for what could be done better... the rule of thirds is more strictly obeyed if you were to lose some of the sky but I don't know if that would help the image. bisecting the horizon down the middle is effective here as the water so nicely reflects the natural purplish to blue gradient in the sky creating some very pleasing symmetry.

 

I think this one is a keeper. There are those who might want some sky cropped out but I prefer it this way. Well done.

Wicked sky. The flowing lines between the two dunes is outstanding. Very well seen, wonderful moment in time.

the forground grasses set this seascape apart. Wonderfully balanced exposure between sky and forground. Very well done.

Wonderful textures and composition. Perfect colour saturation as well. Nicely balanced exposure, I like this one, thanks for sharing.

nice exposure balance through the shot. The composition is nicely balanced between the rock in the far left of the composition and the island in the background. Nicely done.

Great composition and choice of exposure length. Wonderfully balanced exposure between the sky and forground as well, to me the snow looks right.

Well seen and composed. Wonderful B+W.

Lake Louise is always lovely. I've seen this shot many times before but this one is different, the warm light on the mountain and the rock seemingly floating in the reflections sets it apart. Well seen, well executed. I like it.

Thanks for viewing.
