Really nice rendering of your subject – the morning mist. Superb colors as well and the like is indeed spectacular. What I would avoid in the future is the edge of lake hitting the exact middle of the shot. But that is just my suggestion.

Good effort.

Great set, Greg. 3rd image would be my favorite, but I wouldn’t discard any of them. A great spot and you made good use of the conditions.

I hope I wont sound too subjective about it, but I like NY images in general. Must be the place itself. Your BW conversion really suits the image. Good spot you’ve found. The only 5% negative is the title which, I say, could be smaller, it just cancels the scale of the subject you’ve photographed. But that’s your decision to change it or not.

Good job.

Don’t worry guys, I am a strong contender for the last spot this year :)

In the right place at the right time, Bren!

Did you use any light painting on the arch? Incredibly how you got it in the 30 seconds or so exposure. I might be wrong here, but since there are no trails in the stars, it must have been a short exposure. Really, really cool!

Great image, but super-super subject! I’m happy that everytime I come back to visit this forum, there’s one image that makes me post a commment once in a while. In this case it is your image, Mike. All the above suggestions are true, better that you corrected the perspective, maybe it’ll look better B&W and definitely less red sepia. But the image overall has a great potential. Love it!

Hi Greg,

I remember visiting this place…nice and…far! I like the way you composed the shot. If you allow me a little suggestion, it feels it’s missing something in the foreground, the focus is on the silky waves splashing on the rocks. I feel is a bit unbalanced because of that. But this is just my opinion, otherwise I’d be happy with this result. Lovely palette of colors.

First one has a Africa Plains feel to it, dunno why. Nice! Well done!

… Would you be willing to share your knowledge sometime.

Hi Dave, I’ll be happy to. I’m not going to cover the camera equipment.

Most important is to be in group of minimum 2, to kill boredom. The image above is a stack of 5 images, 15 minutes exposure. Imagine sitting 1h and 1/2 in the cemetry…alone. Not much to do, wi-fi and phone coverage can’t help you kill time because there’s none of them. Weather is another factor. I use accuweather dot com. We were happy to have clear sky in the north where we were pointing the cameras. But above us and in the southern part of the sky was cloudy, for some reason they dissappeared. After 5 images, condensation appeared on the cameras. That’s a show stopper, even though we had a fleece collar wrapped on the lenses. It worked for most of the time.

And, generally, you need a bit of luck. I was happy checking each image after the 15 mins exposure. When the meteor appeared, we were stunned. I totally forgot the camera was on, with 2 minutes left for the shutter to close.

Greetings all,

I took this panoramic this morning at Terminal 2 in Dublin Airport. Not really your typical landscape!!

The image is very nice, lovely morning colors, interesting angle, well worth it for a panoramic shot. Yeah, perhaps not a typical landscpae, more a architectural shot ;)
Nevertheless, good effort!
