Wow, talk about neglecting to check in on a thread I started.

Thank you all for the comments. I have several photos now and I’ve discovered that ISO, the only auto setting in the exposure triangle, or literally time of day and how bright the sun is, affects the coloring of the photos. The balance between the…[Read more]

Thanks Rob ( @admin-2 ), several folks a year go missing up there, most are found alive, but by no means all, Its usually the “experienced” hikers that go permanently go missing, If your hiking, say in Colorado, most of the trails are well worn hi ways as thousands folks travel them, many here are not much more than Goat trails that may see less…[Read more]

Thank you @admin-2 @dahliaambrose

When I was a member of the long gone Perfectly Captured forum, one of its members used to say that my sunrise beach pictures should be displayed at the offices of cancer doctors, as they often produced the calming effect both of you mention. Sometimes, when in the field and when viewing the products of my work, I…[Read more]

“Montana doesn’t photograph well” ??,  @admin-2  That man was an Idiot, Glacier national park, the bear tooth hiway, Yellowstone National Park, The Muscle Shell, Rocky Mountains,  and just About anywhere off th beaten path.

@tersha

Thank you. Surprises in photography are usually what adds to a photo!

@robertapple

We have them too. I wonder if I look at the backside of that sign, I’ll find holes.

@admin-2

Thank you Rob!

Thank you very much for all the kind words.  @robertapple  @admin-2 @patography

Sheesh Rob ( @admin-2 ) , OK here’s a couple of our Pea Tree Flowering, I didn’t even forget  2 years after you whined about it.

Thanx Rob.  @admin-2

Thank you, Rob @admin-2

I’m always torn with indecision about adding foreground in this instance.  As the only thing that was there was more water.

But after thinking about it… I understand what you are saying… and I think having the ice a little higher in the image with a little bit more water below, would add to the isolation of the…[Read more]

Thanks for the feedback, @paul-3 @robertapple @admin-2. Sorry for the delay. I wanted to give plenty of time for comment and critique before responding.

Paul, I nearly always used an ND grad on camera for my sunrise beach images. I have gone through the originals. The steps in processing aren’t there (didn’t migrate all the information from one…[Read more]

The Reveal
Look for the red arrow.

@dahliaambrose @admin-2

Thanks. It definitely did the framing and leading line things. I just wish it was pointing towards something other than a street with cars parked for walkers/visitors. Still, it’s a nice place for a walk.

Thanks @admin-2

Thanks again for your encouragement & kind words, @admin-2! You know what you get when you encourage me LOL. Here’s a few more, hot off the presses today. BTW, I’m a big fan of Austin Kleon’s quote: “Anything worth doing is worth overdoing.” Finding out what doesn’t work & what does (honest LS feedback is a HUGE plus & motivator) helps me keep…[Read more]

As you wish, Rob ( @admin-2 ).

I would suggest cropping out that light at the top of the image I find it a huge eye snag.  This will definitely highlight you son’s face and make it the focal point of the image.

As for the softness? and grain?… for me, they are just part of this image and fit with the image’s lighting.

One of the biggest…[Read more]

@admin-2, Its a 1980’s Olympus lens originally designed for the US Military. picked it up a few years back on eBay for $400.
