Colorado/Iowa. I live in both, like two vacation homes. One
for winter/fall, Iowa for summer/spring. I might move to
Omaha soon. It was nice and my parents liked it there.

over-do it.

A good landscape photographer doesn't need photoshop effects
to create the mood or setting.

True but a good landscape photographer also has a better
camera and lens' and filters and zooms. Of which I don't.

They are nice photographs. I think they would have looked
even better unphotoshopped.

I've got to learn to control my editing. There are some
areas that need fixing, but you are right, not as much as I
have done. I guess in a way it ruins the quality.

why are they so small?

overphotoshopped indeed. there is no bottom on the first
one...

I like small, thats another one of my problems, miniscule
things and detail. I need to make things on larger scales.

the more you like details, the more you take huge pics. the
bigger the more detailed.

I like them, the blur sort of shows that you've actually
thought about the pictures beyond the initial shoot.
Pointing and taking photos is one thing, but editing them
(even slightly) to get effects is quite another.
Crimson Crown is a particularly nice photo. Is it possible
you could make them larger? Say, wallpaper size? They would
make dandy wallpapers :)

Points: 5764 Status: Lurker | Show recordbag



I like them, but you could just get another lense/filter or
something to make up for the fake blur, it just kind of
throws me off if it's not done 100% perfect.

Now this is the kind of feedback that I like. Thank you. I
can't resize them now. (I forgot to save the images when
they were raw.) -is an idiot- But the next patch I shoot, I
will keep them larger and not do the effects so much so they
are more natural. And I don't think there are any lenses or
filters for my particular camera: Sony FD100 Mavica 1.2
MegaPixels

You could make your own filter though, just macgyver some
kind of texture in front of the lense or something :)
