On my first trip ever to Glacier National Park I was overwhelmed with the

beauty and possibilities. We had some time limitations (under two

days) and were traveling by car. This was one of many stops on the

road to shoot. This image is from 3 exposures cooked a bit in both

Photomatix and CS4. Very little if any cropping at 10mm with the

Canon 10-22 and 7D.

 

Thanks,

Mark,

Very Nice!  It looks like the water was without a single ripple.

Sorry to hear about the broken toe.... but as far as broken bones go a toe is a decent choice.

Inspired today for a couple of "self" portraits.

Thanks for your comments. I have a love/no love for HDR but keep

experimenting with it. 7D 10-22

I really like the textures and tones of the stone.

Tone mapping and BW post processing. Thanks.

Dock and boat in need of repairs. This is a combo of tone mapping and

BW PP. Thanks, Richard

Thanks for sharing your comments.

Thanks for noticing!

 

 

I like the idea. I think the "aging" you have applied gives it a look much older than the 40's.

Freaky... the wound is very convincing but would be a bit better if there were some pus oozing from it.

I take notice for several reasons. In a sea of nudes it stands out because of the graininess. It makes me think of the days of Tri X and pre anorectic models. Nicely done. Yes, the arm has some blown out areas.

or.. the state of health care...

I think the texture is a bit distracting and would like it more without it.... however, very nice.. I like the darkness and tones.

This evokes good feelings and memories of good times..... fun, happines, innocence.

Of the three... I like this best.

 

 

I appreciate the solitude.... not so much the danger. I would have cropped out the light on the left edge.

Curious Piece. Nicely done. Nice and clean.

Very nice. The composition is clean and simple with nice contrasting colors.

Very interesting portrait. I like the distortion you achieved from what is probably the wide end of you lens. The textures of the wall and ground add to the image greatly. The exposure and shadows of the face are exceptional.

 

Very Nice.!

I would like to see more water cropped out.

I really like the image and the sharp contrasts.. but that is bait.. not sushi! :)

Gotta love it!

Greetings,

 

I ask the same question all the time, "how can I improve". Unfortunately this is such a wide open question it is likely to go unanswered here.

 

What do I do? I look at images..... hundreds a day. I shoot..... a lot....15K in the last 8 months (I've had my 450D for 8 months so I'm only a hop skip and a jump ahead of you)

 

Read.... everything I can find.

 

Workflow and post processing.... this is constantly changing and just this last weekend I attended a workshop with an artist who demonstrated his general workflow and now I'm again off in another direction.

 

The critques around here can be brutally honest..... so be ready when you post here.

 

Regards,

 

Richard

 

 

Ouch. :)
