Hello Siva
Thank you for posting here
Your photo is nice and well composed. However, I would rather the tree to be placed a little more to the left or, saying another way, more field to the right of the picture. The idea of the Sun is great as it has a great impact on the image.
However, as you may know, sun light directly into the canera shortens sensor's life. Well, just a trifle observation because we need to change camera from time to time.
And something else and you are probably aware of this: should you have closed more the aperture you would have a better star in the Sun compared to the one you have. A small bonus
Perhaps the dark side of the photo could benefit from some kind of work as we could see some detail. What do you think ?

Interesting place to be. Kolkata ?

Hi Kit,
thanks for suggestions! I understand what you mean, even if it makes me troubling a bit! I try to explain:
I've also an orizontal pic of this scene, with the boat on the right. however in the left side there is the earth, as the boat wasn't sailing but was anchored near the coast with total lack of wind.
finally, I took that picture on january the 2nd, that mean in the middle of the winter with about 6°C...

Yes, I can see that you would be a bit limited by having land to the left.

And it is interesting that you have taken it in your winter, with colder temperatures, as I really do see this as being taken on a hot summer's day, with those heat waves rising from the water. That is because it is the middle of the summer here and very hot - so the image automatically suggests heat to my mind. Interesting, isn't it, how one's own context colours things so much.

And yes, I do like the second one - you have kept the whole of that nice reflection.

[Antonio Correia]

I had an idea.
Why doesn't everyone post here a picture of the place you lieve in ?
Well composed, well shot showing an icon from her/his place, a magnificent view of the mountain nearby or the sea, the river, whatever.
As to Kit she could photograph a picture of the place she is at the moment.
And you, yes you, I am talking to you who is not at home but working or travelling for leisure, show us an image of the place you in now.

Thank you all. How about that ?
Some people already do it I know.

Why's that ? Take a nice picture of the place where you are and post it here
Come on Nicola, come on... Don't be lazy

No....Place is in Bangkok

[Ashwin]

Indeeed. And do you know where I am planning to go in March ? India for the 4.th time.
And yes, sometimes I spend too much time here. But I enjoy.

This time give me your detailed programme, so that if possible, I will try to meet you in your location....
or you happen to be in Kolkata please give me a ring

well
let me say,
even if I'm able to take a nice shot,
at the moment it is impossible to have a nice shot as I'm in the office... and (at least in my eyes) it is all the opposite of something nice....

I have been digging through my archives to find some photos that I want to reprocess. This photo of West Mitten Butte in Monument Valley, Arizona, was taken a few years ago using my Sony F828 digicam. I use RAW almost exclusively now, this photo was a jpeg. I used DxO to apply lens corrections (remove distortion and CA, capture sharpen, etc.).


ISO 64, f/4.0, 1/250s

Hey Jinseok82,

Thank you very much!

I like this landscape I am sorry if you have it only in jpg as it is difficult now to recover some details from the shadows.
The light was very harsh at that time wasn't it ?
Thank you John for posting here

I like this landscape

Harsh light is pretty much the norm at that location. Even though it was morning (~8 am local) and there was a slight overcast, the light was still fairly strong. That camera has a RAW mode but its very slow to record, so I only tended to use for 'very special' photos.

I understand that you, like myself, we are not of those lucky guys who go to the spot at 5 o'clock in the morning to see and shoot the rising Sun...

I took this pano after the flood waters had subsided @ Villenueve, Queensland.

How many photos ? How did you merge them ?

[Edwin Harvey]

I think it was something like 8 Antonio & I used the photomerge panorama tool in Elements 8. I'm thinking of buying the upgrade to Elements 9, do you know anything about how good it is, compared to E 8?
Cheers.........Edwin Harvey.
