How so?
Taken from the top of Haleakala, Maui.
For anybody planning to see the sunrise there, yes, it is as cold as they say it will be.
Sorry, I know this is a "Digital Photography" thread (no?) but, I'm going to bend the rules and post a digital scan of an actual film-based photo; shot with a Holga 120N. No photoshopping involved other than to save the scanned negative as a jpg:
Fantastic!
This is really great! Awesome color, especially her eyes.
Topiary anyone?
I've been out doing a shoot of a local public golf course. This is a view from the clubhouse deck, with the 1st hole on the left, 9th hole coming back in on the right. C&C welcomed.
Doylem - I enjoy a lot of your images, but have you cranked up your saturation more than usual here? The green is very green and the sky has a similar effect for the blues. If there was one element that seemed too much between the two, I think it's the sky. A bit of a tone down there, a horizon level, and, well my eye would still probably go to the light area of the house - but it's a lovely building.
I agree with Doylem, the building is level. It's the fault of the hedge in the right foreground that makes the image look like it's not level. If you cover the hedge up the photo looks level. I hope you don't mind, I have taken the liberty of straightening up the hedge.Colour saturation is a matter of taste; if you thinks it's too much, fair enough. But how could I level the horizon when it's level already?
There's no (visible) horizon at all, so I made sure the RH side of the building was vertical, 'cos that's where the eye is directed. If you slide the image over to the side of the screen, you can see it's spot-on. So I'm confused...
We agree... it's a lovely building... and some of the finest formal gardens in UK...

Cheers Doylem. The gardens look beautiful, but definitely wouldn't fancy the job of trimming all those hedges !!!No, I don't mind, Father Jack, but the charm of these gardens is the combination of natural, organic shapes, and the rather severe pruning they've been getting these past 300 years. It's a job that needs scaffolding!
