Went to watch BYU vs Utah on Saturday in a rugby match, first time to go to one of them, it was a lot of fun.

Great location, of course... but the image looks 'overcooked' to me: too much saturation, and there's something wierd happening where land meets sky. Have you 'shopped another sky in?

thanks, i'll be posting a lot more light painting stuff real soon. i'm gonnna be shooting tonight soo it'll be pretty interesting what i get.
Distant memories of early summer:
I love this photo. The colours are beautiful, the sun highlights the edge of the dim wood and the stream winds its way into the picture. Makes me wish I was there!
If it wasn't for the calendar on the wall and the man's hairstyle, I'd think this was taken in the 1950s!

^^^ Great colors and composition. This is one of the best mountain photos to come up lately. The castle is a wonderful touch. How long did it take you to move it in there?
About thirty years I think
Thanks to all for the comments on this one.
For technical comments. EV+2/3 in camera. Fill Light at 20, White Point set to 240 in PhotoShopCS3.
EXIF Summary: 1/400s f/8.0 ISO100 Tamron 28-300 VC@42mm
Learning to expose to the right. I have one at a full stop over, but that seems radical to me.

No editing done after this photo was taken. Thought I'd take advantage of the nice sun we had this weekend and shoot the dog.

A full stop over isn't radical if it buys you some desirable detail in the shadows without losing any highlights. The trees here still look a bit murky, but that might have more to do with the lens than the exposure. Also, the color temperature is rather cool, so that's taking some life out of the trees. Lastly, there is some pronounced chromatic aberration here, especially visible in the lower corners.
Thanks. I have the article on white balance from your post on the topic that got me going on this and I will see how far off my camera is. There is so much in digital work that wasn't there in film work. This is like developing a positive in full daylight. When I learned this the variables were fewer. Or so it seems.
Dale
I like the lighting and the repetition of forms in this one.
There are indeed many variables. I actually keep a little checklist on a magnetic bulletin board over my desk so that I won't forget anything when I'm submitting stock images, but there really is no limit to what I might do to an image to get it to look the way I want it. White balance is something I adjust by eye. I start by using the auto-eyedropper (since I use UniWB and my images are therefore all green out of the camera), but I then adjust the temperature sliders to get the right feel.
Just something I thought was interesting...

Thanks for the really nice comments... I'm glad the sense of the place was captured, at least a little bit.
Winter's last gasp...
Up here on the Oregon coast, we'll be enduring a few days of chilly precipitation as a cold front moves across the northwest after several weeks of fairly balmy temps. Just before dark late this afternoon, the sky unleashed a sudden flurry of hail. I only had a few seconds to record it, as it stopped as suddenly as it began...

Your last two posting's have given me a bit of a laugh (great when your tired and ill...)
Great mix of contrasting new and old here, and the composition really makes it.
Cheers.
The most amazing sunset this evening...
Very nice! I wish there were hills where I live to be able to get a shot like this.

Very nice cityscape. The ambient and artificial lighting are well balanced. I especially like the light hitting the water at the right and wonder what a composition that includes more of it might look like. However, as you've framed it, I'd probably crop in at the top and on one of the two sides in order to get that horizon further away from the center. There's a lot of sky in the frame, somewhat bifurcating the image and making the city more distant than it needs to be. I realize that such a crop will sacrifice either the hills or the water, but I think it would make for a stronger composition. I'd probably preserve the right side to keep some space at the right of that foreground road (which makes a nice entry into the frame).
