Arroyo Seco Confluence in Pasadena, CA

[StuartLosAngeles]

I prefer to photograph urban landscapes. The Arroyo Seco park in Pasadena offers an nice blend of infrastructure and nature.

Stuart...this is the second posts I encountered from you but you didn't have any image here nor on the first one. Here is the answer to your prayers on submitting and posting an image in this site:

HELP THREAD: How can I post images here?

Good luck..and don't give up...we all experienced this one way or the other at some stage of our CIC life...

IzzieK... thank you for the help. I have read many of the tutorials on Cambridge In Colour and now excited to be apart of the forum.

Welcome to CiC, Stuart! Your image displays a great eye and creativity.

This scene is well worth revisiting to capture using varying light and perspectives. For me, your photo is made up of the upper and lower compositions, each of which stands on its own even better than together, recognizing that they're quite nice together.

Nice bit of landscape capture.

IzzieK... thank you for the help. I have read many of the tutorials on Cambridge In Colour and now excited to be apart of the forum.

I am glad you decided to be anointed here. We are quite an easy-go-lucky group but you will learn a lot from posting and also joining us in any of our conversations here. Sometimes you might have to forgive some spelling mistakes and some tenses, but otherwise understandable comments coming from members are very heartwarming to receive and be given. Your thoughts and opinions will always be welcome. So get us engaged as we engaged you through your images.

BTW, I like this shot you uploaded. I not have thought of taking this but now I think it is interesting to go around and try to show many things. Urbanscapes is an interesting genre...decays and graffiti are just part of it. Thank you for sharing...looking forward to more of your image sharing...

Stuart, welcome and great shot! Don't know if you're a B&W fan or if you ever convert images to B&W but I think this is a perfect candidate for it. There are great lines and textures in this shot and the vines climbing up...very end-of-the-world look to it and I think B&W would work really well here (I did a quick conversion to B&W and it looks really cool, just a thought.)

[StuartLosAngeles]

Thank you! Yes I am a fan of B&W for the right image. I am learning more with PS CC every day so let me work on it. I look forward to critiques! Please be harsh.. lol. Part of joining this group and others is to cash in on experience and grow.
