The Landscape Thread

It's a cool area. Lots of arches. This is by far the most convenient though.

I've seen similar shots of that arch before, but I think you had better weather than most.

Since the end didn't come, business as usual. One day, one location, four shots:

Yeah, the composition isn't unique, but I was in the area so I thought I'd give it a sunrise. I like 2 best from your series, but I'm sure that's no surprise.

Here's one from a little trip up to Oregon...

raven: great idea, especially when viewed here where the outside temp is 41°C. I notice you wimped out for the night-time shot and went indoors (). What's the reflection in the glass door -- a wood-burning fire box?

Lukas: If you'd have said the location was somewhere off a remote mystical Japanese island I'd have believed you. Just has that Oriental look about it. Lovely.

There was an interesting article on Luminous Landscape recently about photo composition in the style of oriental paintings.http://www.luminous-landscape.com/th...tography.shtml

Here's one from a little trip up to Oregon...

My preference is #3 because it was an impressive night, I might have a shot at re-processing #2 to see if I can improve the colors though.

I like the mist in yours. I think I need to get out more.

Sir Les, actually #3 is a night shot also, about six hours after sunset. That is a wood stove with glass window in #4, I was trying to get that in the reflection on purpose.

Yes cool shots and a nice idea Raven. Don't blame you for wimping out and going indoors though, it looks pretty cold.
Another beautiful seascape Lukas, a very atmospheric feel to that one.

I think I need to get out more.

Haha, you do post a lot of shots from the porch. It's a worthy view though.

Thanks guys! Here's another one from Oregon...

Lukas - your photo must have been shot on the japanese side of Oregon Really beautiful and moody!

Now, I think the below one is more a landscape than old building shot ...

Thanks Gabriel! That's a landscape for sure! Very nice shot. The comp works well. Love that location. Where is it?


This was the sunrise on our drive up to Oregon...
