thanks Tiff sorry I didn't realize I had put up that many I take so many I am having real truoble even selecting it do to all those

sorry everyone didn't mean to take advantage here I tend to put stuff in gruops as I have no one esle to show it too

trying to look outside the box take things I wouldn't normally do not there yet I know


The distance is a bit far away in this one to make much of an impact. There's no reason why you cant zoom in for landscapes. It compresses the foreground and the background to make them appear closer together. more punch.


nicely lit Gypsy. gotta love the sunlight. great attempt using the fencing as the leading line. you starting to think about them know before you press the shutter button


This is your gold star shot!!! strong leading lines, simple and clean lines, well lit. A square crop to lose some of the sky would be perfect for this one.


You are really working those leading lines now. Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Other than the horizon slipping down a bit on the left, I like it!

Love what your doing here Gypsy. This is your best set yet!!! I can see you growing with confidence, and you are 'looking' at what can work in the shot before you compose it.

Well done matey!!!!!!!!!!

About 90% of what I have put on here is allready on extencive zoom I really can't get near most things unfortualty will see what I can work on thanks

Oh and chipping in here....

Gypsy...I've said it before... and I'll say it again...

I'm thoroughly enjoying your photography!!

your photos are great gypsy. I am yet to have a go at this. Maybe tomorrow.

Loving all your photos Gypsy! It's such a beautiful day here today ... I took some photos on the way home from Innot Hot Springs. Not sure if they are any good but will upload one later .

Stopped at the local lake to take a few photos this morning - think I might need to try again at a different time of the day - love the sun on the lake but it did show up a few dust spots on my lens that I didn't notice until I put the photos on my computer! Don't think I focussed very well either. Oh well - what are your suggestions Tiff, so I'm more prepared for next time!

wow gorgeous!!!

Love the second one specially!

hiya Pepper.

good effort chook. I suggest if you would like sun on the lake to try sunrise or sunset so you can have wonderful colours in it too. (you'll need to tripod/rest the camera on something and use your timer button so you dont get camera blur due to slow shutter to catch the ambient light). The lake will also mirror the remaining light so its brighter too. You can shoot straight into the sun when its at its very lowest, but be aware of sunspots.

In these shots here the brightness of the sun and the whitest bits on the clouds has overwhelmed the sensor in your camera and it has exposed for them, leaving your actual landscape very dark, particularly in the second shot. And having the sun where you had it in the frame has left those orange sunspots in your image. Try a different angle with the sun just over your shoulder or behind you, and/or see if you can shade the front of the lens without your hand or hat getting into the shot. That will help against the sunspots.

Look where the sun is the brightest on the water. It has created blowouts. Meaning those over bright white areas, which when in an actual print form, look awful. This is because the camera has recorded that as a true white colour which has no digital information (no hint of any colour at all) so when its printed, you are actually seeing the white photo paper in those areas, not your photo.

Great cloud in the sky, better than endless boring blue. You've got the eye for detail, you just need to be aware of the light and what it can do.

doing well chick.

MWAH - Thanks lovely - am looking into filters, (as soon as I get my BAS done)

AWESOME!!!

Go for the Lee Neutral Density Graduated Filters - Hard edge - from Media Vision (google for their phone number as they dont have an online shop) and say hi to Trevor. He's wonderful. the 0.6 is the one you'll use the most. You'll need the Foundation Kit and the adapter ring to suit the mm thread of your lens. And if you're using a wide angle mention this to him.

Lee currently have a bit of a supply issue atm and aren't available hardly anywhere.

the Lee big stopper is the blackest piece of glass to get that really milky look.

mwah.

Thanks Tiff - might have to drag myself out of bed a bit earlier one day this week & see if I can catch the sunrise - I don't think this particular lake will be very good at sunset as it has a hill on the west side of it, I suspect it'll just get dark without reflecting the colours first!

Good to know about the white areas too, thank you!

beautiful lake, like the first one with more land showing, great clouds developed a new facination for clouds recently
