    The Weekly Landscape Thread

    This weekly thread, starting on a Friday, allows us to showcase our Landscape photos and get some feedback.
    Opening up discussions, not only on content, style, composition & techniques, but also on the emotion in the image, and of course about the place itself.

    It’s easy to participate

    Post an image or short essay with a title and description. To make it easier to view in the forum, all comments should include the original title and at least one of the original images as a quote.

    Thread Guidelines:

    1. This thread is for sharing and developing our Landscape photography skills.
    2. Entries can be a single image or a short photo essay (2 to 10 connected images that tell a story).
    3. Give your entry a clear title and perhaps also explain why you took it, or the story it tells.
    4. Provide constructive feedback on others’ images/essays.
      Try to go beyond simple praise or dismissal and explain why you like it, or what caught your eye.
      ”Likes” are encouraged too.
    5. Negative feedback and suggestions are also OK (be polite, honest, and constructive).

    Giving feedback is just as important as receiving feedback, both help to improve our artistic and technical skills.

    What is a Landscape photo?

    This means different things for different people. For me, it includes a wide range of photos taken outside,… from wide sweeping vistas to smaller details found along the route. Seascapes, landscapes, cityscapes, woodland shots, landscapes at night with some stars, and lots more are all OK. They could also include man-made objects and people or animals outside, but they are not usually the main subject. Show us, with your photos, what Landscape photography means to you.

    Motivation

    I love to go hiking in the natural world and capture photos along the way. It keeps me fit (physically and mentally) and provides some beautiful memories. Processing those images when I return is fun too, it often helps to enhance what I saw.

    Downloading and reposting

    It’s often challenging to verbalise comments about images. Instead, it’s sometimes easier to “show.” Unless the original poster specifically states otherwise (in each original post), participants are free to download, alter, and repost images in replies to express their analysis and critique. The reposted image may remain permanently or be removed after a short period. Downloaded and altered images shall not be used for any other purposes or uploaded elsewhere.

    Enough said,… Go out, enjoy the open air, take some photos. Bring back the memories and post them here in the Weekly Landscape Thread 😊

    ...looking forward to seeing your images,


    Wishing you all Happy Holidays on Boxing Day today.

    Looks like my main computer just died, (CPU hardware error) so that's not good news for me :-(
    At least the old one still works :-)

    Trying out the mini tripod for one of those hard to reach places. This is actually a two image blend via Luminar. Then imported to Apple Photos for some minor tweaks with Nitro photos plug in. C&C welcome.

    East Passage Looking North - As I mentioned, we have had rain and wind and darkness for 2-3 weeks. And more rain. And more rain. Which limits the shooting opportunities. There was a break today... but still windy. Our back yard had a lot of debris washed up onto the grass due to strong north winds for 2 days and big waves coupled with very high tides. So, I was cleaning things up (raking) when I noticed three people out on their wingfoils. I went to get the camera, but by the time I came back, they were just about out of range. I managed to get 5 or 6 shots, but the first two were overexposed (since I shoot manual and I had previously taken a night shot on tripod... so the settings were obviously not right). I quickly fiddled with the dials, but the shutter speed was still too slow (blurry). By the time I got the settings semi-close to what they should be, this was the last decent pic before a hedge blocked my view.
