I don't know what I am doing :)

I really overestimated the depth of focus in that last shot. I guess I should focus on something a bit further away, and possibly lean the lens forward to get more focus?
Great images everyone... :)
A recent image.

Jim,
Such a beautiful image! The long line of trees and that dramatic sky!
Hugo
I agree - the trees look like an advancing army, with the smoke of battle ahead of them.
Beautiful, Jim.

Damn.

I haven't posted an image in a while. Here's something I've been holding onto for a couple of years, haven't printed it yet but am considering adding it to my catalog. I hope it's not too small here....
Gentlemen,
Thank you for your kind comments... :)
The wind was howling when I captured this image, because a cold front was quickly marching through the area, which caused me just a bit of grief, but I managed to stumble upon a couple of interesting images that day. Speaking about an advancing army, I must go out and assist my young son find materials to build a "Rat Trap Catapult..." this weekend for his science class that happens to be due on Monday, and where I must try to find a rat trap somewhere in the "rat free" Province of Alberta.
I have short circuits written all over this weekend, when it comes to being in the mountains with Alex.
Go figure...

I'd like to see pictures of the contraption when it's built, Jim. :)
Here is one from this morning - more testing of TMY-2, and a first chance to use my new Rodenstock Grandagon-N 75mm.

Nice image. I like the reflection of the sky in the water.

Very nice, David.
This is what remains of the boiler plant at the Treadwell Mine on Douglas Island, near Juneau, AK.
This is one of the horizontal entrances to the Treadwell Mine.
We'll take your word for it. ;) Wow, nice vivid, eye popping greens!!

Nice shot. I love the lighting and how the one foreground tree creates a mindset to follow the curve of the path. If that tree had had the same straight trunk as the others, I'm sure the effect would have been entirely different.
Nicely done. My first impression would be to get the weed wacker out, but I'm glad they were included in the scene. :)Quote:

I think I'm getting better at the focus thing (tilt helps!) but it's not perfect. I'm just trying to learn how this works :)

This image was taken at a location along the coastal line of northen Califonia I think that is in Humbolt county? Toyo field AII, fujinon 90mm, Kodakchrome VS100.
d -- looks like Dry Lagoon in Humboldt County. Nice!

That pair of images work together really well, it also looks extremely cold!
I like them. There's a tendency, in both photography and life, to get upset over what is perceived as "clutter", but that clutter is often an integral part of things. I like the inclusion of it in landscapes; nature is not tidy.Quote:

iml,
Inspiration to use my S.G. & 127mm Ektar lens. Come to think of it, I own everything you used to make your photograph. Alas. No seashore like yours.

Thanks, Iml and Simon.

Thank you, Jon.Quote:

Gentlemen,

A chilly, lonely morning on the Olympic Peninsula (Washington state) – spring 2009.
These are worn-down remains of rain forest trees. They toppled into Olympic rivers, which carried them into the Pacific. Then rough seas ripped-off their bark & branches, and storm waves tossed them back ashore here. A rough life! Come to think of it, those sea stacks on the horizon take quite a beating too.
