Landscapes

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

Stunning work!

Excellent exposure.. Did you use any filters? (Grad ND?)

Or was the light "Just right"

Did you shoot raw? What Glass?

Thanks mate. Using the kit lens, mostly at 18mm. No filters but I did bracket (all shot in RAW - 170+ photos) and merge in photoshop. It was overcast but as the sun was setting the sky cleared up and the light was beautiful.

Thanks for checking them out :)

Cheers,
Owen.

Thanks Hlop, although it's not well defined in that pic I think it kinda leads the eye with the rocks and then the clouds.

Thanks for commenting.

Owen.

Owen - #3087 does it for me - fascinated by the bench :D

They are all excellent shots from a composition point

owen, outstanding stuff. I love the fact that you are taking landscapes in "portrait/vertical" orientation. Number 1 (3136) is my favourite, but I like them all. Really good work.

Thanks Chris and Greg. I really appreciate the comments. These were taken after a landscape photography workshop, so I guess the lesson worked well :)

I'll say it worked well. Those are terrific shots. On the bench one, I wonder what it would look like with more foreground and less sky? Not a critique, just curious.

Looks like you got the right knowledge and light and landscape for a winning combo. Great pics.

Hey Dooda. I'll have a look amongst the collection when I get home, there could be one that has more foreground and less sky as I took many shots of the same scene.

Thanks for the comment.
Owen.

Owen. They're all pretty impressive, but the trailing clouds really make the shots they're in. Plus I'm ashamed to say, I've never thought of doing landscapes portrait :oops:
