That's stunning Pramote!

Pramote's fabulous shot in Mexico prompted me to rexamine some shots taken last summer. I had posted one from this series on the 645D thread, but wasn't really happy with it. Here are two different versions of the same scene taken seconds apart. Many elements of a good landscape are present: color, setting sun, cresent moon, blurred water...yet, it's not obvious to me which version is the better, so any input from the collective wisdom of this group would be appreciated.

Tom, excellent. My preference is for the second as the foreground seem so solid compared with the dream-like quality of the rest of the image. But both are beautiful.

 

[Landscapelover]

Thanks Tom for your complement.
The second photo is remarkable. I love the foreground, silky water leading to fiery sky and a crescent moon. Color is just perfect.
Cheers,
Pramote

Visited Owl Head Lighthouse this afternoon. Made a quick 5-image panorama. 55mm. Handheld. Except for the stitching, the images are straight from the camera.

Nice photo, but aren't those 2012 shirts?

Thanks Stephen. Actually I made that shot on 3/11/2011. I post it here because I posted it on my blog. I never have a lot of time for posting, but I sure do love to look at folks' work and feel I need to reciprocate when I can.

Here are a few quick-process from the Capture Integration Miami event. Saw some old friends and made several new ones, plus we made some time to shoot a little. Worked these up on my laptop and will rework them on the big machine hopefully this week. We stopped at Clyde Butcher's studio -- his gallery of amazing B&W images was a motivator to say the least, plus he was a delightful guy to talk photography with. A memorable experience for sure!

B&W conversions all done in C1, processed as shot. The first 3 image are with the 40HR on my Arca tech cam, the last one is the 70HR on my Arca tech cam. All used tilt plus varying amounts of fall. It's pretty dark in under the swamp canopy and exposures hovered around 1 second @ f11 ISO 35. C & C welcome:

PS: Yes, I *AM* wading in about 18" of gator and water moccasin swamp with my phase kit tripod submerged to get those first three images, and yes I was a little nervous and spent a lot of my time looking behind me! But IMHO the images were worth it and I would do it again in a heartbeat. The last image is taken from the top of a swamp buggy in a drier area.

PPS: Here is a link to Clyde's website -- lot's of amazing B&W images: http://www.clydebutcher.com/online-gallery.cfm?holdcategory=1

I have got CLYDE BUTCHER : Nature's Places of Spiritual Sanctuary as a birthday present some years ago .
A great book by a great photographer .
When I saw Jack's images , I immediately thought of Clyde Butcher .

No one alive today has said it is a problem...
