p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Waiting for Spring


We are still in the thick of Winter up here it seems. Snow the last 2 days. Going to be June before the ice is off the lake now. Good thing I have my photography and my family or else I would be checking myself in

These 2 shots are of the river that flows behind my house. Shot with the d800 + 14-24mm + Fotodiox polarizer.

I really love the fact I don't have to use Grad-ND filters anymore with the increased dynamic range of the D800. I love working on just 1 image even though I'm still in the practice in the field of shooting 7 bracketed images.

Very nice captures - the word that comes to mind is "expansive."

Hey Corey,

That's a very nice backyard you have there. Both of these are very nice images, I think I like #2 the best, though the area around the sun may be just a hair too hot still.

Yeah, it's great with the D800 to simply need just one shot in most cases now, so you can stop with with the machine gunning of your camera with every shot. I did always raise an eyebrow though when I was out shooting and it was scene that even with an older camera would take maybe two shots at most to blend, and there would be this constant machine gunning by someone around me having to take 7 shots of every composition...

Jim

Great set!
Your second 'portrait orientation' comp seems more balanced to me. Perhaps because the foreground rocks are not so close to the frame's bottom edge.
The only distraction for me is the trees leaning to the sides. That was probably cause by tilting the lens up. If it bothers you, it should be an easy fix before printing.

I think the 2nd one is more balanced as well. However....they are both quite nice. Thanks for sharing them both. I hope Spring finds you soon!

Thanks Jim. I will definitely stop the bracketing .

Thanks Fred. Thanks for pointing out the trees. I will definitely correct that and must not have had the camera level like you said.
