I can actually see myself there. <br /><br />I don't necessarily need a specific focal point, but just enjoy the view, looking at all the different aspects of the shot, from the green hills to the bottom of the pond.<br /><br />The color is amazing!!LisaNewtonhttp://www.travelinlocal.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3509149353007705957.post-91720288003152659982009-06-19T10:09:29.162-04:002009-06-19T10:09:29.162-04:00@ Dave: It is a really nice pic & the colors ...@ Dave: It is a really nice pic & the colors are great. I do agree with Summer though, there's not much drawing your eye into the photo. Have you tried doing an Ansel Adams style high-contrast b&w with it? With the colors as saturated like they are it might really make for an interesting pic.<br /><br />@ Dale: I shoot with an F-828 also. Like Dave said, it's a nice camera and can take great pics. Don't be afraid to take a whole bunch of crappy shots to get one great one (that's what I do ;) ).Jay Ballietnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3509149353007705957.post-43698506983270185722009-06-18T18:21:42.381-04:002009-06-18T18:21:42.381-04:00@Summer: Heh, yes, we see lots of those out on the...@Summer: Heh, yes, we see lots of those out on the 'range. :P You always have great ideas for photo series though... I'm going to have to do that one (also)!<br /><br />@Dale: Thanks! The colors are actually a bit bizarre, to me. I used a polarizer, and I think it made things a bit TOO real. We'll see. Your Sony is a pretty decent camera -- keep working with it and you'll get some good stuff.DChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12433176037815688789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3509149353007705957.post-23435603274901147902009-06-18T09:44:55.141-04:002009-06-18T09:44:55.141-04:00You're right, Dave!

I've got a Sony DSC-F828, which is a decent camera, but my problem is the lack of skill in the photographer.Dalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06504453306432073868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3509149353007705957.post-9747228678388492752009-06-17T21:58:26.452-04:002009-06-17T21:58:26.452-04:00Hmm... perhaps something to draw your eye to a spe...Hmm... perhaps something to draw your eye to a specific point? I vote for a werewolf or bigfoot;-) <br /><br />Maybe some desaturation with a focus on the colors you want to bring out, like water or tree color?<br /><br />Also, long term idea, do season shots from the same angle and do a merge like you did with the bridge.Summerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13247477979560861388noreply@blogger.com
