You have some awesome shots in there. My only feedback is that whatever it is you are doing keep doing it.

My office is in the front room of a run-down 12 megapixel sensor but the rent suits me and the landlord doesn't ask many questions.

The vertical line? This is a pretty old building, much of it isn't straight.

I would just like it more if the edge of the building was parallel with the frame. You don't have to change anything you are happy with on my suggestion, I am weird about geometry in photos.

No no, I am just as weird. I'll twist it a bit and see if I can't get it straighter. Thanks.

Nice, I like these. I Would maybe consider cropping a bit off the righthand side of the first image to remove some/most of the brown spot in the lower right.

I think it'd be a pretty good square crop.. but I don't have the aversion to square photos that a lot of people seem to carry. So maybe I'm just a dummy.

I often try to square crop my photos but it usually seems to make them look worse, so I never end up doing it. I think in that case it would actually help.

This is awesome. Agreeing with the cropping of the right side. I'd try keeping the same aspect ratio, though, so maybe shift-crop from the top right-hand corner and see how it looks. A square crop might look pretty sweet, too, but I like the wideness of it.

This is fantastic. I'm really envious of you guys who live near the water like that. My local landscape consists of boring, featureless brown hills, except 3 months out of the year when they become boring, featureless green hills. I have to travel at least an hour outside of the SF Bay area to get anywhere interesting.


Thanks. Although I am jealous of people who live near mountainscapes and such!

No, I do not process with HDR. They are all single exposure captures (multiple shots stitched together for the panorama, but all the same EV), all that has been done is tweaking shadows/contrast/highlights etc etc.

And thanks.

Thanks for answering the question, just wasn't sure is all, as the clouds look really good. Great job :) Didn't mean to insult you by suggesting you'd HDR'd or anything ha
