I was thinking alittle closer?? but its the first house built on my property back in the 30's... We are just waiting for it to fall over.

I like this photo. The colours are good. I think you could even get away with cropping some of the bottom off. For me, there is too much road. Also, I think you could shoot at a smaller aperture and lower the ISO to 400, and still hand hold it.

A crop like this(I didnt mess with aperture or ISO)

More 'ghetto lighting' with a single bulb LED torch. Rather than play the light around like the first time I tried 'ghetto lighting' I just held the torch in position above and slightly in front of the flowers. To avoid light bouncing back into the camera, I used a black reflector disc behind the flowers this time (see below for what I used last time I tried ghetto lighting :D). Bulb mode - 60 second exposure.

My first effort was posted here - https://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?p=8551769&#post8551769

^^^^ Where is that? I want to drive that road!
It's the Sequoia Foothills, about half way between Bakersfield and lake Isabella looking west ...

Great composition, such a pleasing image to look at just makes you dream away :)
Thank you :)

That is a really nice photo. Good use of exposure. Thanks for sharing the data as well, I see all these great photos on the net and it is nice to know what sort of settings your camera has to be to achieve something similar.

I never even thought your pic was in California. I thought it was in Britain!

That grey/blue in the backgound is dramatic. This photo really captures the blue that places like this can have. Where is that?

Thanks. The biggest challenge shooting landscapes in Ireland is that it's often overcast so a lot of work has to go in to balancing the sky and the ground. The location is Glendalough, County Wicklow.

Heat pits.

Farming beside the Howgill Hills, Cumbria...

Is that a recent picture? It's nice to see the sun shining at last, but the trees are still very bare for April aren't they? Nice colours and I like the way you have caught several layers in the photo. I don't know if there was anything just out of the picture on the left you were avoiding, but it'd be interesting to see what its like with the camera just swung that way a little.

I hope not!! :eek: If so, that car's just about to run headlong into another one coming around the corner. We drive on the left in Britain. ;)

The pic was taken a couple of days ago. I drive past this farm so often that I barely notice it. When I saw the sunlight on it, I just climbed a little hill, which gave me a view of the bare Howgill Hills behind. I'll do another shot when the trees are in leaf. God knows when that will be: after such a long and hard winter, the colour is only just started to return to the landscape...

There isn't a nuclear reactor just out of shot to the left. ;) Just fields, sheep, the usual... :)
 
howdy all :)
i am brand new here and this is my first post. i have a feeling i'm going to really enjoy the potd threads. there's such great talent here!

i don't want to get in trouble with the whole img/timg thing so i'm going to post a smaller picture and then link to a larger version, if that's okay.

this is a photo of dandelion parachutes:

I like this quite a bit.

Personally, I'd crop out the car interior. It's a bit distracting. Otherwise, I like.

I like the crop better. Love the theme.


Here's mine for the day:

That would mean that the truck is on the wrong side of the road, in flagrant breach of the Highway Code!

The location is Glendalough, County Wicklow.

Aah! Used to go there as a kid, when visiting the grandparents. Beautiful place!

Dude, are you sure you should be going out there?

Your C&C please. Personally I would have liked it to be sharper all round.
 
Sticking with the Ocean Sports theme...
