i'm continuing my landscape journey with moderate success. i still dont have the knack for understanding how to compose shots properly and i hope tht comes with practice...but it was a good learning experience all the same. the main thing i'm leanring is how to adjust for shooting still life....you need patience and you need to take your time in thinking about the shot before you take it.

i had a perfect sky, very little wind to note, thebest lens' nikon has to offer, pretty good even light but my competance as a landscape photographer wasnt up to the task and i couldnt take full advantage of it. the 3 P's Chris...the 3 P's...





so after some frustration, i went back to some things i like taking best. here's an improvised bug shot...



and some birdies...

I like the Alfa shot. The first and the last seem a touch warm and the two OH shots look a little dark. Bearing in mind I am looking at this on a crappy work monitor which has about 15 colours.

Pat, they are all shot in cloudy WB. i didnt really pay any attention to the PP cos i'm trying to get my compositions right first. when i actually take a shot i like alot, i'll spend some time in post. no amount of PP on earth will fix the lazy, unimaginative composition of the OH shots. i freakin suck.

Chris,

Crop about 50% of the sky from the top of the first image, turning it into a pano crop.

The Alfa shot is good, but of course you're talking to somebody who knows Alfas somewhat better than most, having owned about 15 of them over the years. You do realise that "Alfa" is actually "ALFA", a FLA, don't you?

Perhaps I should revert to using my Alfa avatar?

The ALFA shot is really good!!! Keep at it with the landscapes, you will get there someday.

Agreed. The Alfa shot is spot on!
