Autumn in Nelson

Great autumn scene.

I like this shot - great colour!
For me, I might burn in the 'hazy' background a bit.

Thanks, Marko - I really do need to utilize dodge/burn more often. Here's a shot:

Now I have to get to work!

And all night long the sound of sleeping bodies thumping the floor as the residents roll out of their inclined beds can be heard throughout the town. :headslap:

Nice shot made even more so after the crop. Good work.

I love that part of the world...Nelson is a great town...I really dig Trail too...Thought of moving there recently actually...they look very similar.
You've captured it well. :)

Number 2 was much better. Maybe that bit of fence was distracting me more than I thought. It came back in number 3 and I noticed that I didn't like it either. Still love the beautiful colours and wonderful image otherwise.

Hmm...
Looks like I goofed somewhere. I also noticed that the colors have come out somewhat duller than in the original shot. I have noticed this with PS in the past, and not sure what to do about it. I think it may be when I rotate photos, but not sure - PS seems to dull everything.

OK, I fixed no. 3 - how's that?

Looks the goods to me. I didn't mind the haze either though.

This is nice photo but there are a few things that really go opposite with fundamental landscape photography:

1. And the biggest boo-boo... Landscape photography called landscape not just for fun. Panoramic pictures look much better as a they photographed horizontally.

2. There is no focal point. I don't see what is suppose to bring my attention and my eyes looking for the subject and can't find it.

3. The view is too narrow. In ideal situation I would take a lens setting wider, or get a wider lens period. That is why it looks too congested.

4. The picture is very colourful but there is no sky contrast. No body say you have to take a picture with the sky but I would take one with the sky and maybe one with out and compare them. Thanks God we don't have to worry about the film anymore.

5. The time to take a shot. I bet if you would take five pictures from the same spot of the same area in different times of the day, you would be very surprised. You would get 5 different pictures. It easier to wait for the sun to change position, then founding a new shooting spot and most of the time it's impossible. I understand that some times you can't wait for the sun but from your story I understand that this is a photo of your own town and you could of done it.

Go back and try to do this photo again, just remember the rules. Take a local church as a focal point or townhall.

Good luck!
