Landscape Shots

[boxgirl73]

Thought I start this thread so that it wasn't so specific...maybe getting to see some of your pics that don't fit in the exact category currently up on the boards but are worth showing! I love to take nature and landscape shots.....

here are a few....

[Geoff Chandler]

Great colours.!
Let's hope we get some more on this thread - I'm going away later this week - so I will watch out for some nice English country landscape shots.

Wow....enjoy...... a co-worker just got back from a trip to London...really enjoyed it! Can't wait to see some of your pics!

Here's a bridge in Philadelphia...

I like how you played with the images in post-processing. Great results! For the bridge shot, did you use some kind of filter on you camera or did you add that in PS? I think it lends a good sense of atmosphere to it.

[boxgirl73]

thanks wall.....for the bridge shot, i happened to be lucky enough that the clouds were perfectly positioned which affected the light.....did tweak the colors but that's it.

tweeked colors...
Tweeked colors, she said. Holy crayons, boxgirl! That certainly grabs your atention.

The thread is a great idea. Here is my contribution, a river in the rain:

More of a seascape than a landscape; the Golden Gate Bridge.

[Bald Eagle]

very nice bald eagle!

[gstafleu]

Nice, tranquil shot, ekk.
Bald Eagle, that's a great composition. It must be a long time since any revolution was started from that balcony.

Here is one of mine, trees in the snow:

Thanks D! That was my intro into digital photography and into photography itself as a hobby! Now it's like a drug :p

Here is a night landscape for you. It was done in Hong Kong, taken from the Kowloon side with a Fuji F-10.

[gstafleu]

Not so much a landscape as a sea-, or rather lake-, scape: seagulls in stormy weather over Lake Erie:

[DiJ]

Speaklighty,
Thats a beautiful shot of Hongkong! You got the exposure dead on so sharp and so clean.

[speaklightly]

Dij-

Here is a Tokyo Night Landscape. It is not quite as good as the HK one. F-10 Iso 800 F2.8 1/150th. But what the heck this a $300 point and shoot digital camera.

Sarah Joyce

[speaklightly]

DIJ-

Here is another downtown Tokyo attempt. Fuji F-10 ISO 800, F 2.8 at 1/28th. It is a little better.

Sarah Joyce

[speaklightly]

DIJ-

Here is one of Beijing taken at about 11pm. Again this is an F-10 ISO 1600 F 2.8 at 1/4. It is still pretty good for a $300 P&S camera

Meilana, great colors on the second and last one. This place is just beautiful. My kind of paradise. I want a holiday now!!

[meillana]

thanks for the kind words DiJ, did some PP on those.
btw, the place is Anvaya Cove, a resort which we're launching this afternoon in fact.
should you come visit the Philippines in about 2 years, the resort would have opened already :)

[sherlock]

Hey,

Here's my contribution....taken last summer in Nova Scotia, Canada. My photographer cousin really drove me to find good compositions, I guess he decided I needed some help considering I'm only 14 years old. I found this composition by myself though! Comments welcome :D

I really love the tonal qualities of your photo and the emotion it engenders. My one (niggardly) concern is that the fence actually leads my eye out of the photo before I have time to appreciate the beauty of the textures of the walls of the old house.

For me, this photo is very emotional; that is, it provokes gut feelings rather than a "considered" reaction.

I think "visceral" is the word I'm looking for. :rolleyes:

Thank you -- at your age, you've "done good", as they say in the classics.

[Sigbhu]

i've finally created my landscapes page, (though i haven't cross linked it)...critisms of all kinds welcome (i'm not that into landscapes)...click here (http://www.sigbhulandscapes.blogspot.com)

[Sigbhu]

any by the way, alka, i've managed to fix the white background thing. clciking on the cpitures will now show screen filling borderless things.

[alceuzinho]

Here's my contribution from Brazil.
Porto de galinhas, PE (state of Pernambuco) Brazil.
The last one is from Olinda, PE.

[Phill D]

Love the colours on the first shot very atmospheric. Definately my favourite thanks for sharing.

[sherlock]

Hey,

Here's another one inspired by my cousin...again though, it's my composition. I actually saw him frame this same shot, so I must've done good! :p Comments/critisism welcome....

P.S.-All of the other shots are just amazing, these photographs just don't seem to get enough praise!

[Bald Eagle]

sherlock, that is awsome shot, heres mine, the unending trail ;)

[sherlock]

Hey,

Thanks a lot Bald Eagle...your shot is amazing also. I have another contribution, I have a lot of landscape shots because it's kindof what my passion in photography is for. I took this shot after a 5 kilometer (1 way) hike. Comments welcome again! :D

A lot of these threads overlap - I wasn't sure if this would fit here or not.
Maybe a gardens thread would be more suitable....

Hope u like it

[sherlock]

Hey,

Wow that shot is simply amazing with all of the contrasting colors in the rocks, grass and sky. Great job!

[iplayazi]

especially with the kid with the red shirt in the bottom left :( thats the job for photoshop! Thanks for the compliments!

[gstafleu]

That is a great shot with all those bumpy shapes and horizontal lines. It shows that you don't always need morning or evening light to get a good shot. Nevertheless, if you live in the region, try it one day near sunset or sunrise.

[emalvick]

I know... this shot is technically not a landscape, but it is a Sequoia tree that my girlfriend was hugging. As you can see, it takes a landscape shot to give you an idea of how big these trees are.

Taken with my old Fuji Finepix camera at 2MP, full automatic.

Erik

[emalvick]

Here is another Sequoia Tree... The biggest living thing on Earth, General Sherman in Sequoia National Park. Same trip, although I don't know any of the people in this photo. These trees are slightly less than 300 feet tall and up to 30 ft across. They are not the tallest, but definitely the biggest.
