The interstate at dusk

Shot on my way back from Portland this evening:

not to crazy about this one. I think its a bit soft and can use some more tender loving care (PP). I do like the colors in the sky and the sunset. Those three lights in the left screen are a little distracting and would be good to clone out or spot heal out.

Here it is with a smidge of sharpening and color correction:

I like the idea but I find that the trees are distracting as most of the color of the sunset is hiding behind them

Interesting . I composed it this way specifically so there was a foreground / background interest. I suppose I could of shot a set without it as well but I personally like the tree. Thanks for feedback.

I tend to agree with you the foregroound / background is nice. I like the shot though I wish there was more color in the sky. And yes the 3 lights on the left need to be removed IMO

I think the sharpening helped but I also agree with Bo4key about the tree hiding the sunset. Its not as bad because it does not hide the freeway/highway so I does not take much away but to bad the tree looks likes its falling over. I know thats not your control and the horizon looks straight so you can't really do to much about it. What lens are you using ?

This was taken 45 minutes after sunset

Not seeing the tree falling over thing. As you've mentioned and one other I will remove the lights as they seem to be a distraction. This shot was taken with a Canon G7

Ok g7 , g6 , g3 whatever works right?

Not sure what you mean?

 

[vipgraphx]

You said this shot was taken with a g7 . I was just being g silly , as long as it works in the end. The picture looks good with the g7

Implying that a g7, g6, or g3 isn't more than capable of producing quality images?

Fyi it does come off as a thinly vieled snide remark, not appreciated, whether you intended it that way or not. Either way, it's not the camera that creates a good photograph, it isn't the glass in front of the camera, it's the photographer.

 

[vipgraphx]

Ok…

 

[Majeed Badizadegan]

Ok…

Just don't know where you come off with a remark like that.

You've joined the forum for one whole month since December 2011 and have started an average of 2 threads PER DAY since then. Most with at-best mediocre images, and worse, throughout many of those threads you've spent a whole lot of time not accepting criticism and personally attacking other forum members because of said criticism.

As if your lack of experience and reluctance-to-accept-criticism attitude isn't enough, you're also snarky about the equipment others use as if that is in any way relevant.

Sigh.

Ok, that's your opinion great! I have not seen really anything better from you but that is my opinion. Since you are on attack mode, I really have not seen anything of yours that is strikIng and photo gallery material either. I do think my processing rocks and I am confident with what I do that may come off as arrogant but sorry I am not on here to please you. Look in the mirror and read your CC to people. You come off like a know it all but nothing to show you do!

As far as equipment goes I was not putting you down I have notice that most all your images are blurry so I asked what lens. I know what you meant by your comment so I acted silly right back.

But it's interesting though because in another thread you made a comment about someone using a 60d and good glass and replied with you thought with equipment like that you would expect sharper images.

But it's ok because it's you who said it right. That's kind of ironic to your response in this thread.

Interesting very interesting.
