Hi All,

Have scanned a few of my landscape slides. Will have to get them scanned off a Drum Scanner though for quality.

Nosh, you should definitely try and make to one of our meets. I believe there's so much we can learn from you. You create wonderful world class images.

Nosh, I agree, they are 1st class landscapes. Equal with any I have seen published.
Thanks for sharing with us

Nosh,

I agree they are great shots - just one question about the first one with the person on the right hand side of the ...hut? or shed? - the scale seems a bit wierd. The person seems further away than the building and yet seems quite large proportinatly.

Are my eyes playing tricks on me again?

Cheers,


Ps. can't wait to see some more.

Thanks Onyx, miecw and Jordan,

I would love to come to one of the meets in Sydney. Am happy to share what I know, but still have a lot to learn.

About the proportion, the back of the shed is in the same line as the person. There was actually a small drop off after that, as you can see just the top of a pine tree to the left of the person.

Will be posting some more images shortly.

Nosh - all I can do is add to the others acclaim for your work. The layers of tones is so ”Japanese” - beautiful.

Just one question - the photo of the boatmen - did you use a mirror lens on this shot?

Hi Sirhc,

The pic of the boat in the sunset was shot using a fixed 200mm Nikkor Lens.

Hi Nosh,

Amazing images

What I like most about 11 & 13 is the human element. I am a big fan of including people in landscape images.

Can't wait to see more of your work.

Hi Woody,

Yes I am a fan of the human element as well. In most cases it serves as a great foreground subject and also brings scale to the image. The main thing with landscapes though is waiting for the right lighting and the right mood.

Dont mean to sound nutty, but I find that most "places" change their mood throughout the day and the seasons. In that sense, the landscape is as much a living entity as the human element in it.

Makes sense... I actually think that is quite a good way of saying it.

Hi Woody,

Dont know if you have had a look at some of my pics from New Zealand that I have recently taken with the Canon A85, 4mp 3x zoom camera. Even though the scenery was breathtaking, I found the human element was required.

The images are on earlier posts, but here is a quick link as well:

Nosh.

Are you saying you wished there was more human element?

I went through the show twice and only saw 2 or 3 images with humans in them.

My opinon on these images are they work VERY well as they are... Some of them are spectacular. Can I ask how much PP you had to do one them?

I think it was the last 2 images, one with the field (yellow) and then the clouds above and the last with the light coming over the mountians, really great images. I hope you got these blown up and hung on the wall at home!!!

Yes. In some of them I was hoping for more of a human element. Though I am more or less happy with the way they turned out.

There was minimal PP for the images except for sizing, sharpening, bringing up a few of the shadow areas and a bit of playing with the saturation. But for the most part, as a lot of people will agree, the NZ scenery actually has these amazing colours.

I am sure MHD will agree with you there.

My problem with NZ is I always go in winter and can't seem to get myself off my snowboard long enough to get the camera out

We are heading over there next year though so hopefully I will get a few days were I am too tired to board and get my camera out

Nice work Nosh! First....you have to be there...second, you have to photograph it and third, you have to photograph it well. You've done all three. Even though they've been digitized they still have that "Kodachrome" look about them. I wonder how different they would have been if you'd used a D70?

Hi Matt,

I was just comparing/likening shooting on Digital to shooting on slides in my People - The Fabric of Life post.
