The Landscape Thread

[Geoff Chandler]

Just a view I took looking back at Reykjavik from the Globe museum
last year - bit hazy - but it's how it was - so there you go...

That's a unique idea, Syndam. It's interesting to see the "landscape" we never notice. I never would have expected to see the green moss in there!

Since you were able to use a shutter speed of 15 seconds, you must have been supporting the camera with a tripod/book/table/etc.? If your camera will take pictures longer than 15 seconds, you might want to try using a smaller aperture (say f/8 or f/11 at the largest) with an even longer shutter speed. The smaller aperture will create greater depth of field, so we would be able to the mini-landscape more clearly.

Brian, thanks for posting both links, I especially enjoyed the 'redbubble' gallery and the way you give background info on each photo. You should leave the links in your signature for others to browse through because, wow(!), you are one helluva photographer! There were so many I found beautiful that it would be impossible to choose a fave, but I especially liked these half dozen or so: "Sublime", "Harem", "Stinson Beach", "Starlite Fire", "Sunkist", and "Fenced In." And only 23......again, wow!

Nooo, thank you! I appreciate you taking the time to look at my photos. That's a great idea to put the links in my signature. Thanks again for the kind words.

Prospero, thanks man.

Geoff Chandler, wonderful view you have there. I love the green trees in the foreground. It shows great contrast.

I'm still playing with the Singh Ray filters. I used the Galen Rowell hard-step 3-stop graduated neutral density. I stood the this location for about an hour with gray clouds the whole time. Just when I was about to leave the clouds broke and reveled this beautiful color right before me. This was really an amazing sunset. The only thing that it needs is some livestock of some sort in the foreground.

Here is an old shot I took using an old camera that I no longer have. I took this before I knew anything about photography, but I liked the way it turned out.

Oh My Goodness!
Just logged back into this thread and seen all these wonderfull shots!!
Too many to comment on all of them

Mumbles - excellent view/exposure - like a silhouete that is one - love that sky and then the foreground is clear as well!!! Great job!

tfa8rva ~ this B&W shot on an old camera just proves that it's more than the camera you need for a good shot - the person behind is just as important!!
The Hollywood Rapids is wonderfull - almost like a water painting such beautifull tones.

zmikers great creative shot - really like that!!
Great job everyone
