Attachment 1695As a rule, I generally photograph landscapes, but am getting into more and more subjects over the weeks/months, so I thought I would post a couple of my recent ones for you to have a look at.
Hope you like :D

Hope you like :D
I like them both, the contrasts are superb.
Did you have to use much in the way of manipulation Spooks?
Nice captures. Well done
I used a HDR program Rolf. The Field image was one exposure, which I first put through a RAW editor and adjusted the exposure, then imported the files into the HDR program. LOL The next bit was fiddeling with slider until I got the effect I wanted.
The Church image is composed of several RAW files taken at different shutter speeds, then directly imported into the HDR program. Then tweaked slightly in Photoshop.
Hopes you understand what I am babbling about tho.....
Am really pleased you like them too. I will have to post more if anyone else likes
Thank you Chocky :D
Your welcome
I can see the mistake I might have made. I would have put the main object in the middle which I can see now, isn't where it goes.
I hope you know what i mean (I do):-lmao
I know what you mean Chocky. Dad has been drumming into me the thing about rule of thirds, and yes, I still get it wrong... :-lmao
I will post an image, and he if i got it wrong, the first thing he says to me, "You know what you've done wrong, don't you?"
Yes, Dad, the horizon is in the middle etc... LOL - but he helps me out a lot, and its thanks to him I am into my photography
Cheers Pops :acclaim:
The rule of the thirds is a new to me. I learned in math about the golden rectangle in art which is a similar rule with the same ratio.
In all great paintings you will see an invisible rectangle be it horizontal or vertical but this rectangle also has a spiral which goes on to infinity (that is the math part of it and is found in nature. Like the snails shell and the centre of a flower) I am not familiar with the photography's rule but am learning.
I think it works in the same way, Chocky. LOL, every thing I seem to look at now, being painting, image in a paper, tv or even signs on wagons, I am looking for the rule of thirds. Maybe I am finally getting there....:-lmao
Well . Your dad knows what he is talking about I read his tutorials They are good. Have you read them??? :4-bounce:
Yes, have been looking at the HDR (High Dynamic Range) manipulation programs, Photomatix looks like quite a good one, trouble is that I don't do enough landscape at the moment to justify the purchase. :)
Post as many landscapes as you like Spooks, the more we have here, the more others will be encouraged to join and post their photos. :)
Wow some excellent images you have posted Spooks well done.:clapping: I am hopeless at landscapes. If it hasn't got wings then I've no chance.:frustrated: But I will try to take in what you have said when I have more time and hopefully put into practice at the weekend:)
Thank you kindly Babs, am pleased you like them!
Here is another one. This is the famous White Horse view, in North Yorkshire, not far from where I live.
Chocky, remember me saying that dad reminds me of the rule of thirds etc... Well this is one instance, the original horizon was wonky! :-lmao so this time I've redone it and posted the better one!
LOl. Very good. I always forget to straighten the horizen.
There is a straightening tool in CS 2 . (Some where) and once you have straightened your horizon (you think) Yo just draw a line across the pic and the pic straightens it's self.
I'm not a landscape person really but now getting quite interested in it.I has to be interesting like the one above with the rainbow and it's reflection
