it's landscape time again...
Posted By: Marc Langille, 01-22-2007, 07:57 PM

Hey Everyone,

I've been lurking mostly as of late, and posting just a bit during that time.

I've not picked up my camera since Jan. 2nd to do any serious shooting for several reasons: the weather/darkness, and prepping for exhibits of my work is taking up lots of time!

However, I decided to go back and review my progress in 2006, and I think my most significant day was October 28th, 2006. That was my first serious attempt at landscape photography. I took maybe 15 shots the day before as a "warm up", and anything before that, well... they just plain sucked...

Below are just some of the highlights of that day. I hope you enjoy them!

Cheers,
Marc

LOL... Thanks for the kind comments!

Just an FYI that 3 of those shots were with a "telephoto zoom" lens - my FA* 80-200/2.8 on my K100D.

I've blown 3 of them up to 20x30, and these little photos don't do them justice.

Don't be dismayed, be encouraged! I am a rookie at landscapes... honest...

Cheers,
Marc

Most excellent photos. It is hard to go wrong with such clean reflections.

It's worthwhile considering the final size and presentation at the outset if at all possible.

I agree that images like these are best viewed very large and from a longer distance.

They would probably project beautifully too.

Evidence here of a natural talent.

You should be so lucky to get this many great images in one outing. Of course talent has something to do with it All are excellent but #4 is the eye catcher for me.

Hi Marc. All these landscape shots are so crafty punchy and colourful. The water reflections are really something. A feast of compsition and patterns. They definitely delivers!

Marc,
Great shots. Would you mind sharing what method you used interpolating these images for the 20 x 30 prints?

Thanks,

Excellent shots. They really capture the beauty of the Ozarks in fall.
