 Thanks, I would have loved to take one with the sun/rising setting behind the hills but I would have had to be there much later/earlier, temperature might have been more bearable though.

 

Excellent night pics, you've made very ordinary surroundings look great

 

 

Thanks, that is my goal after all.

 

I think going later/earlier for the golden light would be worth it, but it's up to you of course.

 

Here's two more images.  I'm posting the first one twice because I believe they work best as a set.

So i gave that Exposure Blending technique a try.  I went hiking 2 weekends ago and got some good stuff.  The sky was clear enough that my afternoon shots didn't get blown sky, so i just took some morning stuff to work with. Here's my final image (and scaled down to 1280x960 from 1600x1200 that i shot at):

 

Here's the foreground shot:

 

And here's the sky shot:

 

So am i approaching this right?  I know the sky value doesn't feel right (which i know adjusts with the % layer slider, will get a better feel for with practice) and i was sloppy with the by-hand drawing, but this was a quick 20 minute experiment.  I used a 75% reveal mask for the sky and a 25% reveal for the slightly blown sections of the top half of the background mountains.

^Yup, you're definitely getting the hang of it.

here are a few from last week

Interesting shot of the shadow patterns in a parking ramp.  Try cropping it down to just the ramp without the scenic background and see if it might sell.

Not a bad idea - I actually really liked the buildings/airport runway in the back myself, but every shot is worth revisiting, so why not?

I took some panoramic shots a few days ago but couldn't upload them to FB

[MandelSoft 2,775]

Today, I encountered an empty motorway A12. Since this is a quite unique sight, I took a camera and a bike and shoot this event...

 

 

 

 

(The VMS was still working, despite the fact that the road was closed)

 

And here is the cause of the closure: a severe accident!

 

 

 

Around 15:00, the eastbound roadway was opened again. The westbound roadway is still blocked at this time...

Best,

An old grain silo.  It doesn't seem to be in use any longer.

 

[A Nonny Moose 8,262]

All I get is a message in any number of languages saying the image is unavailable.

 

Now fixed, thank you.

Click for full size. Had to upload to Photobucket as Facebook wouldn't take it.

[A Nonny Moose 8,262]

Seems both facebook and flickr have some serious limitations.

[AkemiAzula 280]

I have never used 'Flicker', but I have used Facebook and Photobucket. Photobucket hasn't limitations on file type/size I believe (as long as it is a picture format) however the free version only allows limited storage slots, thus old pictures have to be periodically replaced, or you have to have several accounts/emails which is burdensome in extremis.

Not the best picture ever (I took it with my Nokia Lumia), but it's an amazing view anyway (taken from the restaurant of the Music Instruments Museum in Brussels, one of the best panorama places - they gave us the best table ). The two darkish stripes are from the panorama-app of my phone.

 

If you ever go to Brussels, you really should go to this place for a drink.

This is a sculpture on the campus of my college. It is called The Seed and it sways in the wind spreading the DNA of knowledge.The picture was taken with my phone.

Detroit from Windsor

 

Detroit Skyline by haljackey, on Flickr

[Chuck The Mayor 28]

Windsor, ON is seriously that close to Detroit? Wow

 

Nice view you got there;) 

[A Nonny Moose 8,262]

Yes, and it is south of Detroit.  A big chunk of Canada is further south than the 49th parallel.  Me, for example.

A few pics from my summer holiday in Cornwall, hope you enjoy...

Porthcurno Bay, near the Minack Theatre.


Mullion Cove, near Lizard.


St Ives Harbour.


Glendurgan Garden, Falmouth.


St Michael's Mount from the ferry boat. At low tide there's a walkable causeway.


Looking over towards Marazion from St Michael's Mount.


Don't drop the camera! Looking down from the summit of St Michael's Mount.


Sunset at Land's End.


The famous signpost at Land's End.

Some photographs of my 2013 painting portfolio:

 

 

 

 

(More pictures coming soon)!

[Jazzmaster 716]

Some great photos being posted here.

 

Bipin, I really like your artsy fartsy stuff.

 

EDIT: Went back and fixed the image of mine that wasn't showing up.  It should be showing up now.

[Chuck The Mayor 28]

I'm an avid skier here in Canada, and I have taken some great shots last winter with something as simple as a GoPro, here is one of them that I dug up. 

 

[Jazzmaster 716]

^Your image is definitely quite dramatic.

I went out shooting tonight, and aimed for a certain type of light.  Many photographers are familiar with the "golden hour" as the sun is lowest on the horizon, but there's also a "blue hour" which comes almost immediately aftewards (ok, so the blue hour is only about half an hour, but "blue half-an-hour" sounds silly )

 

[A Nonny Moose 8,262]

Rather neat.  Looks like the beginning of civil twilight which only lasts for 11 minutes in most latitudes followed by nautical twilight of the same duration which is the ideal time for navigation star shots.

Star shots eh?  I'd like to get into astrophotography some day, but it's very money and time intensive.

 

Here's another blue hour photograph, only in the morning rather than the evening

 

 

 

And another image from the same location, on a different day.  Both were taken at Tampa International Airport.  Surprisingly, security seems a bit relaxed about people standing on the top floor of the short term parking garage and taking pictures, but I guess since so many people are doing it it's not  "suspicious".  

 

[A Nonny Moose 8,262]

Looks like a great spot for abstract photography.

Sundial on the side of a building on campus. The timing is off, it was between 1 and 2 PM when I took the picture.

[A Nonny Moose 8,262]

Nice piece of art, but the building would have to rotate to make the sundial work properly.

To correct for daylight savings time?
