Quote: Each photo got so much progressively better when I looked at it, I'm simply amazed by your talent here. My favorite though is the last one because of the purple sky, but the second one comes in very close, followed also very closely by the first one.
Thank you for your kind words. JIM
Quote: Wow, I love the first and second photos that you took. The composition and the colors are great and really make this a amazing photo. If you don't mind me asking what did you use to balance the sky and the foreground?
Thanks,
Cory
Thank you Cory. Since I shoot mainly Lanscape shots I have been working on finding a better balance from sky to foreground. Time of day plays a big role. [this shot was doner around dusk] I uped the conpensation by + 1.7 and combined a ND 4 and 8 covering just the sky line. Surprisingly there was very little PP work. I small adjustment in levels and added a little sharpness. I also found my landscapes improved when I adjusted my focus point to the first one third of the frame. I was more center before. always use a tri-pod know matter how fast a shutter spped I have. Later I have been using the live view to set up my composition prior to shooting. Not sure if this helps. RIf the lighting was different then my approach of coarse would change. JIM
Quote: That second photo is stunning. Love them all. You are really wetting my appetite for next year. Keep them coming.

Quote: WOW! Beautiful location and beautifully captured. Banff has been a place I've been wanting to visit, and your pictures make me want to pack up and leave right now.
And I'm with Cory, I'd love to know what you did with the second photo to balance it so well.
Appreciate you looking and commenting. JIM
Quote: Man, you keep churning out the great stuff, buddy. I love all three, but I'm particularly taken with its very slightly blue hue. A neat shot that records a time of day few of us see but seldom, yet gives the world a completely differentl look.

Shot that one with the CP filter and a ND 4. The timing was dead on too Jer. Five minutes later it was gone. JIM
Quote: must say, Day 2 was divine, and you captured it with the eye of a master. Superb PP too. It accentuates some nuances without exaggeration
What I liked about the second image was the mountains. The light was hitting it just right and that small amount of lightr also give just the right amount to balance the forground plu a little help from my ND's. JIM
Quote: Wow your photos are always amazing. You captured well the colors on the second one wich is my favorite.
Thank you. JIM
