I can't think of a better place to be on Christmas Eve morning:

Neither can I. Wow very nice shot. I spent Christmas there in 1976 was simply wonderful. Makes me want to do it again. Currey Village is where we stayed in 2 cabins.

Another sweet shout Doug. How many of these do you put on the wall?

[B]Another sweet shout Doug. How many of these do you put on the wall? [/B][/QUOTE] Thanks Mike. I've got quite a few on the wall but I don't have a very big house. It's getting them on other people's walls that I'm working on. :D Here's a few more: Moonrise over North Dome [img]http://images.hopdog.com/_MG_0589-Edit-2.jpg[/img] Fresh snow on Cook's Meadow [img]http://images.hopdog.com/_MG_0597-Edit.jpg[/img] Moon over Cathedral Beach [img]http://images.hopdog.com/_MG_0605-Edit.jpg[/img] |
Stunning shots... wouldnt mind having any one of them on my wall ;)

WOW!!!! I have lots of wall space and Christmas present money!! :)
|
That right there... pure inspiration.
|
Sorry I don't know too much on photography, but would the moonrise picture and the Cook's meadow picture improve if the sharp line dividing the snow from the background be further away from the midline of the picture. I am not criticizing the two amazing photographs, they are very well composed but I am trying to learn what makes a good composition. Thanks in advance.

wow I always love your photos!!! thanks for sharing!

[/B][/QUOTE] It really depends on the what the focus of the image is. To that shot, the position of the "horizon" is inconsequential. The focal point of the image is the bottom third of the shot. I also don't mind having a dead center horizon on reflection shots. On another topic, please send me a PM explaining why you have more than one account. |
Holy crap thats nice !!
I was stuck in Crappy Cincinnati unfortunately choking to death on smog. |

Wow nice pics what camera do you use? also do you use anything like photoshop to prosses you're pictures? Unfortunatly I had to work christmas eve and christmas day :( but the family was cool enugh to get up at 2:30AM christmas mornig to have christmass with me then go back to bed right after I left for work. I guess it's the price I pay for working in security. I've never been to yosemite but that first pic is absoulutly beutiful, I think I may need to make a trip one time it's only a 10hr drive ;)
Oh and this........ I like it it's hillariouse [QUOTE][i]<a href=showthread.php?s=&postid=11464260#post11464260 target=_blank>Originally posted</a> by beerguy [/i] [B] Nuclear winter solves global warming. [/B][/QUOTE] |
Doug, seeing your nature shots is always a treat. Thanks for sharing them with us.

Doug these shots are simply STUNNING!! Can you give us a little detail for say the first shot? HDR?

[B]Doug these shots are simply STUNNING!! Can you give us a little detail for say the first shot? HDR? [/B][/QUOTE] Not HDR - that's a single exposure. Canon 5D, 30 seconds @ f/16, ISO 100, 24mm (24-70 f/2.8L), 3 stop graduated neutral density filter The split-grad NDs that I use are 4 x 6" Rather than use a holder on the front of the lens I hand-hold it and move it in a very small circular motion in front of the lens during the exposure. It softens the transition making it almost impossible to tell that I'm using one. You can do a similar thing from within PS but I generally try to get it as "right" as possible in the camera. Cheers |
Wow that's very cool. Thanks for the info makes me want to be better! :D
I need to get a lens for good landscape photography. |

We were also in a cabin for Chirstmas. So relaxing. Of course Northern WI is nothing as awesome as Yosemite, but still...
