    Another newbie here

    Welcome from another Mike Glad you found us. Being from Newberg, do you know of any great wine country photo locations? I'm thinking of some nice scenic vistas when the grape vines are showing fall color.

    The good, the bad, the ugly

    I recently returned from two weeks cruising from Bellingham to Desolation Sound, Princess Louisa Inlet, and the Gulf Islands. Here are some of the other boats we saw along the way. The Good: The Bad: The Ugly:

    Mt. St. Helens

    Even with the orange sky I kind of like this one. Especially in the way the haze has created multiple layers in the hills. It's definitely a different take on the subject.

    by the light of the silvery moon....

    Beautiful shot, Rocky. It has a bit of an "alpenglow" feel about it. Alpenglow with sprinkles (stars, that is.) :D

    Lost Creek waterfall

    That first one is great! Rocky, I really like the first shot. I especially like the bright spot at the top of the falls balanced by the bright green mossy patch on the left and the bright rock on the lower right. The second shot seems to have an optical illusion of being tilted - I'm sure...

    Panorama software and work flow

    Thanks Scott Scott, thanks for the feedback. I've been using Photoshop Elements 8 up to this point, and it has worked ok. But sometimes it has dificulty stitching a sky with a smooth gradient. It seems to leave blotches. Maybe that's related to the fact that it can only handle 8-bit tiff's in...

    Panorama software and work flow

    There are several forum regulars who have shown some outstanding pano's here. I'm interested in your perspectives on a "best practice" pano workflow and the tools you use. Question #1: For those of you who shoot pano's regularly, what stitching software do you use? I know it can be done in PS...

    Definitely worth the wait! I know, easy for me to say - I wasn't the one out there in the cold.

    July In Central Montana

    All of these are spectacular, Steve. I'm curious about that lightning shot. How did you manage to get the fantastic color at the same time as the bolt of lightning? Or was it a double exposure?

    Summer Flowers~7 Oaks Farm So. Oregon

    I'll give it a go. I'm not any good at shooting flowers so this is just my humble amateur viewpoint. ;) Sombody with more experience may see things entirely differently. #1 I like this a lot just as it is. :) #2 The side-on composition leaves too much of the background in the scene for my...

    a nice little waterfall

    t.a.n.s.t.a.a.f.l. "There ain't no such thing as a free lunch." Life and photography are about compromise and balance. It shows in these two photos. I agree with Bob in that Rocky's shot overall is a better compromise. The saturation of colors and position of the branches are better in...

    a nice little waterfall

    Bob, could you put both photos into one post so we could get a look at them side-by-side?

    Southern Utah in Panorama

    Thanks for the comments! You could be right about the color. They look fine in Lightroom, but something happens when I export them to Flickr. I'm guessing it has something to do with Internet Explorer being not color-managed.

    Comment by 'Mike-PDX' in media 'Improved Technique'

    I like it a lot - the composition, the pose, the backlighting - especially around the ears. Well done! How long a lens did you use?

    Southern Utah in Panorama

    There is something about the scale and expanse of southern Utah that begs to be photographed LARGE. During my visit there last May I found myself shooting many panoramas. You have already seen a couple of them. Here are some more: [Edit: Oh yea, forgot to mention that C&C is encouraged!]...

    Herding Ducks

    Did you notice? Have you noticed that ducks smile even in the face of adversity. They must have wonderful dispositions. :)
