The Landscape Thread

Lake Murray, South Carolina.

Not the view I wanted, but I would have had to have a boat and be rockin' in the water.
My preference would have been to see water/air on the right too, so it would be three islands of increasing size.

Ya need a wider lens... doan-cha know.

Sorry... snowbird influence.

Nice photo Juan.

I needed to be 20 feet out at about 270* to get the shot I wanted, that would put me way in the water.

Thanks, D70FAN.
It's been 5 years and I still don't know your name.

I used to use my name, but changed it to D70FAN... maybe I'll change it back.

George Reihm!?
Haha, well then, I guess a welcome back of sorts is necessary.

Lukas, I like that shot in vertical orientation much better than horizontal. Maybe it would have been even better if you'd gotten closer to one of those purple flowers to make it more of a subject.

Looks like Crystal Springs Resevoir in the background...

Made that drive a zillion times... from San Mateo. More fun in an open sports car or on a motorcycle. I used to ride skyline from the 92 junction to Lexington Resevoir (turns into Black Rd. by Saratoga)

Nice shot incidentally.

Yep, it's Crystal Spring Reservoir.

Thanks Tori. I didn't spend too much time on the low angle shots because my leg was falling asleep from squatting down. I wish the flowers were larger in the frame too though.

Thanks for the return welcome.

I never really left, but after by-pass surgery in '08 it took a while to get my head back into it. Having one of my shots on a magazine cover didn't hurt to pick-up my spirits either... no dreams of grandure, but it validates my efforts to some degree... and the money is nice too.

The last name (Riehm) follows the "i" before "e" rule...

I didn't think the "i" before "e" rule applied to non-Enlgish names, it looks Germanic.
I saw your post on the magazine cover and gave you congrats and didn't even know it was you! Ha!
