p.1 #1 · Davenport & Coyote Hills

Here are a some recent shots, the first two were taken on an outing with the SF Bay Area Flickr group. The last one was taken at Coyote Hills. I actually was going to look around for some beaches, but I saw the clouds. (:

I like a lot the last two images. The dark tones are a little too close to solid black for me, perhaps you can try opening up those areas a little bit ?

Nice stuff, very nice. The first is a bit too contrasty for my taste, or maybe it's as Santiago suggests and just the dark tones are a little too dark.

The 2nd is great!

Very nice set. I'm with the others....the 1st is a little too contrasty. The last is a delightful foothills scene.

Thanks guys!

@santos, which image(s) are you referring to? My monitor isn't calibrated so maybe there's a difference. 2 is probably the darkest, but it was during twilight. I kind of wanted to convey that, lightening it up a bit would work pretty well, thanks.

@all, Yeah, it definitely is contrasty, I actually had to decrease the contrast in ps. I'm guessing I should decrease it even further?

#1 doesn't do it for me. The stack is too silhouetted compared to the brightness of the foreground.

#s 2 and 3 though are just awesome. I really love the vignetting on #2, I think it really enhances the photo. And #3 is even better. I really love the subdued feel and I'm really glad you didnt push the contrast or sharpness too high.

Thanks Matt, I'll see if I can brighten the stack up.

Thanks! (:

Natural vignetting at work!

Yep, because it isn't super sharp, it feels like a watercolor painting to me (the clouds).

I like the sky in #1, it looks 3 dimensional.
