Personally, I didn't think what he said was funny at all.

I like the contract between the colors in #1 a lot
#2 doesnt work for me as it is; think I would like to see a panoramic crop of the top 2/3 but that just my option

I like the first one because of the subdued color interplay but the second one appeals the most and I don't know why.

Of Course I was making a funny!

Matt Needham is a professional photographer. By the term professional, I mean to say that photography is a source of income for him.

Sorry for the confusion.

:scratch: first posting in the off topic, then posting colour shots - this is strange occurance. I really like the composition in both, definately not your calendar landscapes.

The colours seem to have bit too much of a greenish cast, at least on my my screen - especially in number 2. I love the foreground in that though. I am sure that one looks good in the full print. Was it the film or post processing that made the colours come out like that (ie intential)?

I personally don't care for these shots... at this resolution. I would love to see them at their original size. At the shrunken size I see here, they aren't given justice.

As far as canonrebel's post, I think most of you missed this line...

I think so too. I'm pretty good at color correction via the CMY dials on a color enlarger, or a lab printing machine, but I'm still learning in Adobe PS (and I don't get much practice since I'm always messing with BW).

Usually I go into the RGB channels and adjust the levels: just tucking in the highlights and shadows to the edges of the histogram. The lighting on this day was strange with the mist and fog, so that hasn't been good enough. I'm going to have my photog buddy who does mostly color landscape teach me his techniques. He was shooting with me the same day these were taken.

I really need to do a better job of picking pictures that post well. I'm sitting at home looking at a 16x20 color print (traditional) of the first shot; you can see the lines on the individual blades of grass. Everything is crisp and clear (and the color is better :lol:

). I do shoot a lot of these "texture" shots, that many folks probably find boring, with my MF and LF gear, and no one is going to see what I'm seeing if they can only view a 72 dpi/500 pixel image.

But it's hard not to post when you are excited about a photo

Maybe some of the tension can be relieved if the entire thread were to be taken into consideration.

*WOW, these smilies are simple*

These are my posts at the beginning of the thread...

I really like #2. It is great. It has an isolated focus point almost as if it were intentionally manipulated. Good image.

These were my posts and I'm stick'in to'em
