This is really cool. How did you get the straight vertical lines? Perspective correction or did you crop out a big chunk of the lower frame?

Thanks, it's just a healthy dose of perspective correction in LR.

To be honest it looks like its supposed to be that colour, with maybe a little bit of twiddling with white balance on your end.

I like it.

There's something about visiting home that makes me wish I was one of the New Topographics. I'm finding, however, that there is a fine line between a 'dry portrait of beauty in banality' and 'a snapshot.'

Any suggestions for landscape shots in Grand Teton/Yellowstone? Maybe something off the beaten path?

I like those. It's not easy to make really green shots of forest etc like those look good - you have a good eye for composition. Keep at it! But you should put a line break between each photo when you post them, it makes them easier to look at and distinguish.

I uploaded this to flickr, realised I wasn't happy with it 10s later and went to delete it, some random guy with 40k followers had already favourited it

Guess its not as poo poo as I thought? I really want to go back and get more of the sky in the shot

Don't worry about some guy with 40k followers, going by his photo stream I'm not sure why he has so many.


Get the photo the way you want it first, then ask for critique.

Getting faves can be a nice ego stroke but fave getting is more about finding an audience than it is about your work being "good". And some people spend lots of time following huge numbers of people (sometimes subsequently unfollowing them) in the hopes that those people will reciprocate with a follow. As a result there are people who post nothing but snapshots of their kids who get 99+ faves on all their photos. Does that mean those photos are good?

Do what Spedman suggests. Post photos you are happy with and try not to be too influenced by whether or not you get faves from strangers whose work you don't know.

Is buying follows a thing like likes on facebook? I didn't look at his shots but they all seem average as hell.

If you're not doing back country hiking, nothing in those parks is off the beaten path. The good news is you can point the camera at just about anything and get some cool scenery.

The least visited part of Yellowstone I can think of is the blacktail plateau drive. Is a dirt road but city cars can handle it okay, and not many people drive it.

There's some good stuff on the west side of the Tetons but I haven't done it myself so can't be much of a guide.

What's more important is whether you like your photo or not, and not whether random guy on Flickr likes it. I regularly get people liking photos I don't really like that much on my Flickr stream and there are many photos I love but no one faves. All you get out of it is an aggregate feel of what the general/random person on the street is going to like your photo or not, but it should affect your own feelings towards the photo. Otherwise you're going to end up pandering to the tastes of others online.

What about when someone quotes your photo to tell you to throw your camera in a canyon and kill yourself?
