Gorgeous Landscapes

[Alpha_7]

Sometimes I find myself both inspired and disheartened in the same breath. While Smugmug was undergoing maintenance I stumbled apon this guys work. http://www.emmanuelcoupe.com/ Some really gorgeous landscapes, of a lot of places I've been and also taken photos. Its inspiring, because I know its possible to make photos like these, but at the same time I've come back with photos that aren't anywhere near this level. Mind you this is his job, and right now photography is still just a very expensive hobby (and obsession) for me.

Anyway thought I'd share his gallery with you, its well worth a look on a quiet Friday, or even a busy one. I found it interesting that some photos seem to be fairly heavily processed when others don't.

What do you guys think ?

The 8th photo of the main gallery is awesome! There's not a single ripple on the water.

To my uneducated eye it looks like most of these have a HDR type of effect, yeah?

Thanks for sharing that site Craig.
It's great to have inspiration like this but FWIW I have found your own work to be inspirational to me too.
Your wonderful images of Eilean Donan Castle for example, inspired me to travel there to photograph it for myself.
Cheers

Bugger, I am living right near some of the places in Alberta and my photos don't look quite like that!! Oh well, a few more months to practice. Thanks for the link.
