Post Images here using the power of triangles

Took this hiking through Kodachrome Basin in Utah. Triangles a plenty here...

Sorry Paul I missed this image the other day when I looked. There is certainly some good angles going on here. I do like the triangle of light in the bottom right. The lighting is difficult as the shot probably needs some fill light to open up some of the shadows - just a tad, but the triangles make this a stronger composition. This is my type of country. I love harsh deserts and terrains. Well spotted.

An interesting proposition Oner.

Hi Jim,

Funny thing that. Come November I am about to do up an old hay loft as my studio for workshops, etc. Looks similar to this but the cross-members are a bit higher and the walls are corrugated steel. I will post a couple of images showing before and after in the post where everyone is showing there working environment.

Thanks. The desert has to be my favorite type of landscape. The harshness, desolateness and mystique of the desert really fascinates me. I hope to explore more of the southwest in the near future.

I plan on going to Australia eventually to see the Outback and the Great Barrier Reef. Its our Holy Grail of vacations.

I thought of you Peter! - the rider from Ireland is working the angles on the climb as well

[Peter Ryan]

Much more interesting with that angle than straight on. I like it.

You got some great cycling shots Kay. Fantastic action, crisp and colourful. I have enjoyed them.

Here is my go at triangles:



While driving to Waterton Lakes National Park in south western Alberta, we came upon a roadside viewpoint. This is the view looking north west. I was not fully conscious in regards to seeing all the triangles. I was looking more at the converging lines.

Thanks, I was too ill to go out so the scrabble board it was

Yes, this is what I mean about triangles in the landscape . Roughly the bottom half of the image is taken up by two large triangles formed by the light and dark vegetation. You can also see another in the open field within the dark vegetation (on the left side of the image). You could also say there is another one bordered by the fence line back o the bottom left hand corner. These are all made up of slightly different vegetation and hence textures and hues. To me these add interest in the foreground and break up what could be a boring shot if all the ground had the same vegetation. If this shout were blown up large you would see the effect even more.

Well spotted.

Hi Pono and welcome to CiC. Do you have a first name; we tend to be a pit more personal around here?

I am sorry but I missed your posting when I last looked at this thread. I like #1. An odd number of items (in this case the flowers) works well. The image could do with a bit of sharpening but the background is nicely blurred so the flowers are the feature.

What Post Production software do you use?

#2 is interesting. It looks like a spooky forest out of some nursery rhyme. You have divided the frame with a nice diagonal line along the creek bed but I find there is too much happening in this image. I am not sure what the centre of interest is; i.e. what I should be looking at. Maybe if the heavy rocks were not in the foreground and we could see more water. I feel these boulders almost block the view. Then we could see the trees falling over the mountain stream as it recedes into the distance.

The colour also seems wrong but I do not know where you come from or where the shot was taken so I do not know if these colours are correct but they look very red to me.

Please keep posting.

Not a particularly good photo, I'm afraid, but an interesting location. This is the "welcome mat" at Murray Island (Mer) in the Torres Strait, North Queenslnad. When walking through the mouth of this shark it reminds one that the Murray Islanders were fierce and feared headhunters just a few generations ago. My offsider (a Kiwi from Invercargill) and our pilot discuss possible exit strategies should things turn nasty.

I just Googled Murray Isl - what were you doing way out there. I have been to Thursday Isl and Hope Isl but that's a bit of a swim to Murray Isl?

Just got it up on Google Earth. That's a long way out in a big ocean! Saw the airstrip. Think I saw the welcome mat just beside it?

What do folks do there? Is it predominantly fishing. It doesn't look particularly agricultural.

EDIT - That's another aspect of the power of this site to teach. Just googled and found this site. I am now much more informed about the planet I inhabit that I was 30 minutes ago.
