I don't consider myself part of the tasteratti and my work mostly sucks, but I think I can help answer this question with what is kinda a good and kinda a bad landscape with a photo I took Thursday and Friday. One of these photos is currently my laptop background, because it's a pretty picture and reminds me of a cool hike . The other was part of quick photo story for a shootoff that got a couple of props and then an out from Eli Reed.

bad


less bad

Probably on the first one, even though I don't feel like I did to much post. The second one is just raw with me draggin the level slider to compensate for underexposure. The aspens are nuts. But yea the point is one kinda says something, the other says mountains?.

Getting away from dumb art chat.

Here are lovely jpeg versions of the raws, did I murder them with the ghost of Kinkade?

I think I get what you mean, yeah, one is "what a nice postcard" and one is "god drat that's a cool old house I wonder what the backstory is."

This is some good poo poo right here. Everything in the foreground is poo poo I've seen before, but not a scene I usually associate with fog.

Usually I don't nitpick on stuff like a wire / power line going through the frame, but when you're doing something that's pretty much purely a geometry thing, it starts to matter.

I'm not sure how you could have avoided it in this particular shot though.

Where abouts do you live, Dread Head? I see you posting cool stuff from beaches, glaciers, mountains, forests. Do you just travel a lot for your shots or do you live somewhere really varied and spectacular?

I live on Vancouver Island, I think all (or most) of the photos I have posted this summer have been from there. I travel around the island somewhat, it has a huge variety of scenery specially if you are willing to do some hiking etc.

That's a hell of a crosswind, unless you're (up there with) the pilot.

My guess is that runway runs perpendicular to the one he's actually landing on, so you can just poke the camera out the side window to grab a shot like that.

Yeah, it was a two seater plane, I was in the right hand seat. The cockpit was actually too cramped to get many good views out, and there was a lot of distortion from the plexiglass bubble cockpit.

I need to get up in a hot air balloon, I think somebody in this thread posted some balloon shots a while ago that looked great.
