Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Yosemite Visit

Postby kurokaze204 on Tue Jul 24, 2007 6:26 pm

A few shots from my recent visit to Yosemite National Park in California.

An amazing place. I highly recommend a visit if you are ever on the West coast of the USA.

Great series Kurokaze. love the simplicity of #4. The water surface is almost surreal. By way of friendly advice our forum asks that we limit our images to 4 per post. :)
cheers

Thanks guys, I tried to manually correct for lens distortion in the last one and got that as a result. Normally I would then crop the image out, but my son really liked it that way so I left it.

Sorry about too many images.

I've had a look through your flickr gallery as well. I noticed one of your comments on an image of half dome about how difficult it is to represent the sheer scale of Yosemite - agree!

It's a magic place, and the only way to really get a sense of the scale is by standing in the valley floor itself! Your images have inspired me to finally get back to finishing processing my shots (shamefully still unprocessed since June 05...)

Yosemite is a truly amazing place. We used to live about 90 miles from it, when we lived in California.

For those planning a trip, April is the best time of year, when the snow is melting, and the waterfalls are just ..... awesome.

Great images.
