Lots of great photos in here. Personally I like shooting mountains, but since my widest lens is the thrifty fifty often the scenes are a little cramped on my 10d. I'm just starting to get a handle on post processing...most of the time I'm simply adjusting levels to remove the gray in the RAW images, a bit of sharpening, and that's about the extent of my abilities. This, and other threads like it, are invaluable to people like me and I'd like to thank you all for your contributions. A couple summers ago Waterton National Park had some serious forest fire smoke happening and made for some great layering. This one I had to crop funny due to clutter on the bottom, I'm not totally happy with cutting off the lake, but it still works:  And this is probably my favourite from the entire trip that summer:

JAY ZERO SUM GAME posted:This is a nice photo but I feel like it should be cropped a bit? The subjects seem to be the trees, cropping the sky out a bit lets the arrangement of the trees become the focus, and the sky just floats back there, as skies often do. Hope you don't mind an example: Overall I agree with your suggestion and definitely appreciate the feedback. I cropped it the way I did because to me it seems to give a better picture of what the day was like: standing on top of the mountain, pure white snow, those crazy trees, and big blue sky above it all. What happens to me during a ski tour, is that I work like crazy climbing up the mountain and there comes a point where the whole scene just sort of pops into existence. Exhaustion, thirst, blisters, all disappear as you suddenly find yourself in this amazing and alien environment with this weird sense of THE SKY above and all around you. That's me being all artsy and thinking too hard. Another goal of my composition was to have a balanced diagonal run through the image with the sky reaching down into the frame roughly the same length that the snow on the left reaches up, fudging a bit due to the cloud. I'm not entirely sure I was successful but that was my thought process at least.

Hi! I got back yesterday from three weeks in Peru and Bolivia. Took almost 4000 photos, I've barely even started sorting through them all. Once I get my stuff organized, I may post a trip report thread if there's enough interest. Otherwise I'll just sprinkle a few throughout the genre threads. Anyways, here's a couple that immediately jumped out at me: Morning on top of the Amazon  IMG_0668.jpg by Brian.M.K, on Flickr Early morning sheep herding at 4400m  IMG_2149.jpg by Brian.M.K, on Flickr

whaam posted:This is something else. The perspective, the angle, the motion of the grass, and the animals that I didn't even see at first. As someone mentioned earlier, I love seeing "busy" landscapes especially when they draw my eye in like this one. I guess my only critique would be the foreground is overexposed a bit but its so minor I feel silly mentioning it. Thanks for the complements. I have to admit, I'm very proud of that one. And this is just ridiculously awesome.

Ninja Woodchuck posted:Really great photo. The tiny tree at the top, the rock texture, sky, everything is just perfect. Thanks. If you look very close (maybe at the large res on flickr) beside those little trees on top you can see the ruins of an Inca traveler's house. Peru is an amazing place for photography! Bring extra mem cards and batteries because you'll never have enough of either.

Zhe posted:Stunning, where is this? Sorry, I missed this when the thread moved to a new page. Best guess, I was somewhere inside the circle when I took that photo:  We were ferrying a machine from point A to Vancouver. Weather was moving fast and we had to move the gently caress along otherwise we'd be in big trouble. Due to the height of the mountains (the photo was taken at around 4500' and there was lots of trouble higher than that) and the weather, we had to dodge and weave a bit, which means I can't plot an exact course. I suppose I could dig up the flight history on the tracking system...yeah I should really do that one of these days. I just want to say that during that flight I seen the most amazing, gob-smacked, breath taking terrain I have ever witnessed. Towering glaciers pouring over the mountainsides, waterfalls tumbling 100s of feet from a lake into another lake and falling another 100 feet into the ocean. Evidence of vastly powerful seismic upheavals and ancient volcanic explosions that have literally erased the tops of mountains. Completely incredible. Unfortunately, due to the flight conditions I outlined above, I was barely able to capture a fraction of what I saw. Plus I was wearing a yellow t-shirt and mostly shooting through plexiglass windows, so almost everything turned out to be a glare-ridden lovely mess. The decent photos are the results of making a tent out of a coat, or shooting out of a little opened window (hugely uncomfortable and noisy for everyone). 140kt winds will tear a lens hood off instantly. Guess how I know this  Santa is strapped posted:The highway. This is fantastic. I wish I could shoot stuff like this, but somehow it never turns out. Please do what VomitOnLino says!

Santa is strapped posted:I'm curious what you mean by it never turns out? I just mean that there's a certain look (in terms of colour, composition, and "feel") in good urban landscape photos. Every once in a while I try to shoot something like that and it doesn't work out as good as I'm imagining in my head. Yours, however, works.

Wife and I spent the weekend at a friend-of-a-friend's cabin in the North Cascades National Park. Pretty nifty, as I ski there all the time but never been in the summer. My wife doesn't ski, so I was keen on showing her around a bit. These are all sort of cheesy as they were taken right from the road but we weren't equipped to do more than the easy touristy stuff. However, ski season will be here soon enough and I'm really looking forward to pushing deeper into this area. It's amazing to see areas that you're familiar with in one season, and how they look so different in another:  DSCF1768.jpg by Brian.M.K, on Flickr Mt Baker Ski Area, with Mt Shuksan looming large in the background:  DSCF1806.jpg by Brian.M.K, on Flickr Closer look at Hanging Glacier on Mt Shuksan:  DSCF1785.jpg by Brian.M.K, on Flickr
