Since I have recently "found" this forum again I thought I might put up some landscape images that I shot whilst down the snowies this winter.

I never shoot landscapes so it was a challenge looking through the lens and not seeing people!!!









So what do you think? Stick to weddings!!! LOL.

Looking pretty good here! Maybe you should work on landscape and leave the wedding business?
#1 could do with a slight straighten, but the processing has really added to the image (the vignette works really well)
#2 is a bit plain and bland (I do this ALL the time) there lacks a feel to it
#3 is GREAT!!!! love the overly contrasty almost comic book look to it
#4 could do with a sliver cut off the bottom to reduce the dead space.

Overall these are really good, you should get out and shoot more landscape!

I am a people person and I often find landscapes just dont 'do it' for me (what ever it is). But I love 3 its stark i love the sun coming through .... and my second favourite would be 2 with the house. The colours are so warm and gentle, its like you can feel the cottage.

awesome

challenge looking through the lens and not seeing people!!!

complete opposite for me..its always..'hey you move outta the way'

As cam mentioned, the first needs a bit of horizon adjustment and a nice boat smack in teh middle would be the ticket, but hey cannt have everything!

I do like that third one, in concept and execution! my only comment would be to go just that fraction wider.

I see the potential in the stream image, but my first thought was ' camera has tilted down on the tripod'. Some more room up top and alittle less water on the bottom and this would be very nice. A circ polariser would have also made this a bit more magical.

Landscapes - Something I never do...

It's always good to push yourself outside of your comfort zone, it can and will make you better and probably also help with your normal day-today photography.

I'd keep doing them if I was you. Number one is lovely and serene (yes the horizon needs straightening but that's a simple fix). Number two might have looked better with a lower f stop- when I first looked at it I thought it was a model house. Number three is really stark and arresting.

I really like No. 3. It's a great high-contrast image, it looks surreal.

The first one is good, but for me, lacks a point that draws my eye.



Well done!

Thanks for all the replies guys. It is good to get out and shoot different stuff

I'll straighten the horizon on the first

@biggerry - Funny you mention your thought on the third... this is exactly what I was thinking when I took it. I was actually after a higher view point then getting low and looking up the stream (I got plenty of them as well). So even if it doesn't work at least you thought what I wanted you to

I shot a lot more of the hut (number 2) and made them into a little "horror" house scene (very desaturated processing). I think they may look better than this one? Maybe I'll do another post on that series.

Cheers,

One more thing...

Finding a nice shot in the snow lined trees (number 3) was HARD... it felt like I could not isolate anything, or get the right framing. So I'm glad you all liked this one because I spent ages in there and it was COLD!!!

I think desat or BW would work well for this idea! Post a few up, i know i am keen to see them.
