    thanks, brad. The splashing on the poles was closer than I realized and I got soaked all the way up mid shin...and that was some cold water, cold wind, cold feet that headed back to a car parked a half mile away...I'll probably catch the P-New-Moan-Ia...but silly me was going to get that shot no matter.

    Still cold and stormy weather in the Netherlands. Nice weather though to be walking around and I got to use my 12mm a bit. Bit of blue in the sky and the sun behind clouds on the right.

    This was taken at a hotel complex (Rosen Shingle Creek) in Orlando, Florida. I liked how the image came across in black and white. But a few questions, if anyone would like to provide feedback.

    (1) Is is too dark, especially the immediate foreground?

    (2) Does it matter that the horizon is slightly skewed? If I try to correct the horizon, the railing in the foreground is no longer horizontal.

    This is very sensual Ali
    You saw it under a different perspective/point of view.

    Hello Yen
    Personally I think any focal lens is good for landscapes depending of course what and how you want to capture the scene.
    In this particular case I think what you have done is correct with that lens. However, if you could have captured more to both sides getting a broader area, I suppose it could be better.
    In this case you could opt by a very tight crop with a large length and a small height like the one Edwin used here.
    But you could also move away from the scene and shoot with the 200mm capturing the same area or a broader one, which I would recommend. Don't forget you sturdy tripod
    I can also suggest you to manipulate the image, so we could have a perception of what is going on in the dark areas. It could be interesting.
    Thank you for posting here

    You did a good job showing us how the weather is in the Netherlands these days.
    I can only regret the absence of "something" in the foreground you could have captured with that wide angle lens of yours to give us a strong feeling of depth...

    Before answering to the first question: Do you really think the black and white is suitable for this ambiance ?
    It is rather dark yes in my monitor. Nothing too much anyway. And yes the foreground is really dark so we can't see any detail in this area. Did you use a CPF ? Or have you adjusted the black and white in the colours of Photoshop ? The sky look pretty nice.
    About the second question: I would correct the vertical not minding about the horizontal bar in the foreground.
    Why don't you clone it ?

    Feel free to c&c. Shot at f29 (as high as the Canon XSI would go), ISO 100, tripod. Why I am still up at 1:00am I don't know....

    Ha ha, I have that. Look at my other post on doggies in People and Pets. I just didn't want to 'spoil' the landscape. Apart from the doggies though, there is nothing else in this spot that I can use for that purpose. I'll try again and hopefully on a more sunny day.

    Hi Antonio, thanks for your feedback. To answer your first question: I preferred the mood in b&w to the colour version - though perhaps later I will post both versions for your judgement and advice.

    A problem I have when processing my images is that they tend to come out darker on other monitors (at least when posted on the web) - a common criticism I receive on the web. I have my monitor calibrated (using the Xrite: EyeOne Match), but perhaps I need to further reduce the brightness of my monitor? That said, I do tend towards the dark side

    The photograph was taken using a CPF to bring out the sky and I settled on the calculations method (after trying both the b&w filter and gradient methods) in Photoshop to achieve the black and white conversion.

    ...if you could have captured more to both sides getting a broader area, I suppose it could be better.

    I was thinking of a particular wide angle lens to get a broader area...is that the 200mm you mentioned? or i should have used the full 200mm focal length of the lens? I'm going to post another one but it's in another hard drive...the same concern re getting a broader area horizontally.
    Thank you for the advice and yes, i should not forget the tripod.

    Your picture is nice and it conveys a feeling of cold. Brrr
    Perhaps a better background could improve it ...

    Re: Landscapes - Please post them here

    Today I made a quick walk with two other people on a hill near Setubal.
    I took this photo. I feel I have to work on it a bit more or even try to re-shoot with more time. Certain cables are a minus in here and they must be cloned. And the composition can and will be improved. I have used f/6.3 which is not the most convenient because I don't have the stick in the foreground neither in clear and sharp focus nor decently blurred.
    But I wished to share it with you in spite of
    Post card style Bah !...

    Here's the shot i (i was saying earlier) took in Hongkong (handheld) with the kit lens...i was thinking after taking the shot that i could have gotten the best of it had i used the "proper" lens...was thinking of what wide angle lens is suitable for this kind of shot.
