It was posters I meant. Some pix are fine to look at for a while, and others you want to see on your wall every day. I'm not sure quite what the difference is; I just know it when I see it.Your most recent mountain shot, for example, would make a great poster, IMO.
I have a friend who keeps talking about marketing some of my pix as decor (he's an interior designer, and particularly likes canvas prints), but nothing has come of it... yet. In the meantime I've signed up to a website that offers print-on-demand for all kinds of art/photography... with the artist/photographer getting royalties on sales. Take a look: Artist Rising
Many thanks, Doylem...for both the props and the tip. I'll look into that site. Always looking for ways to put cheese on my toast!
I'm uploading 50 of my 'look nice on a wall' kind of pix, and see if I get any sales. I'm trying to put my own tastes to one side, when choosing, to pick the most saleable pix (so not necessarily the ones I like best).
Maybe MR folk can help me. I've got a few shots which might work with the orton effect, and wonder which seems more saleable.
This is the original version (actually HDR, to 'beef up' the contre-jour effect)...
...and this is the ortonised version...
A lovely image either way, but I prefer the first one because it retains more of the wonderful textures.
One from me, this is an old grave yard that has been turned into a public park all the graves are at least 100 years old and all the old gravestones have been stacked up agaist a wall in the park

A terrific site for photography, very nice! Alas, I don't understand why anyone would prefer a footpath to being able to admire all of these wonderful old headstones. I can't believe they just pushed them aside like that!
Lovely fall colors and soft sunset. I can't wait for the Fall foliage to peak where I live. Photos like this one are getting me very excited for it!
I could use a little C&C with this one... I was playing with a new ND8 filter, and I was surprised to see that I had a hard time getting my pictures turning out as sharp as I would like. I was using a Nikkor 16-85, tripod mounted, with VR turned OFF. It was a little windy so I could have been getting some shake from that. I also had the two second shutter delay enabled so depressing the shutter wouldn't affect the image. Any ideas why I couldn't get it nice and sharp? Thanks in advance!
All good advice. f/36 will not produce a tack-sharp image on any 35mm camera. If you need a slower exposure, use a stronger ND filter or else stack up filters to get what you want. And if you're using a tripod, there is no reason to use autofocus. Just use Live View to zoom in as much as possible and focus manually. Wind is often a problem that can't be overcome, so it helps if you take the strap off of your camera so that it won't dangle and try to time your exposures between gales.

This is the kind of location, light, and eventful atmosphere that photographers dream of. Tricky exposure situation, though. For what it's worth, your exif info does not correspond with the settings you listed. It says f/7.1 and 24mm.
Did this one with the original iPhone. Hands up for the throwback!!!

Nice photo. Looks very familiar to me.
I'm Ohio born and went to Ohio University in Athens for both my Bachelors of Fine Arts and my Masters in Education. The first was in the '70s and where I learned photography. I spent a lot of time out at Old Man's Cave which is part of this Park District. Really interesting place, especially in the winter when the first snow comes.

Here's a shot I took on a ridiculously warm (for Northwestern Ontario) October day (28 degrees Celsius) over the weekend.
We went up to an apple orchard in Blue Ridge, GA, today. Because of the drive and the 6 other people going with me, I was only able to take photos right around noon. Fortunately the sky was quite interesting. When we were leaving the sky had completely clouded up with a storm coming. It's a good thing I took the majority of my shots before this happened.
Decided B&W was better for this shot taken of one of the bays on the westside of Flathead Lake near Somers, Montana
