hi all, had a day off today so decieded to go for a drive in the hills and try my hand at some landscape shots and try out my ND grad filter. also switched a couple to B&W, i like how they came out but some C&C from everyone would be appreciated!

I really like the first and third.

The second seems a little lost in the foreground to me. Have you tried a tighter (or even square) crop?

Hi,

I tink he second requires a little less foreground..As dviv said a square cro may work..

The last is wonderfull..

Thanks for sharing.

Hi David,

Nothing like a day off in the Adelaide Hills. In Sydney you need to drive for a couple of hours for an open field : )

The first image appears to dark in the foreground and not interesting in the composition.

The second is much better and can be transformed by cropping to a square and using the rule of thirds (ie the dark foreground bottom third / the bright sky and tree silhouette for the middle third and finally the darkened clouds for the top.)

The layout of the canola field is good though a clear blue sky day with perhaps a few white puffs of cloud (choose your next day off in better weather : )) will give it a more interesting colour compostion with the blue/yellow contrast.

Cheers
Greg

I like the subject in #2. Very nice sihlouete.
I aggree in part with the others in relation to the crop though. I would like to see it with less foreground and a bit more sky above.
Regards Colin

thanks for the feedback, i agree with you all about the foreground in the 2# pic, but i not much of a fan of cropping pictures! im in the market at the moment for a 6X6 medium format. if only i already had it! thanks again

Was that around Mt Barker? I used to live at Auchendarroch (now a stupid bistro) and went to school on Dumas St

hey critter, the shot of mt barker was taken from a spot near Wistow and the other two were shot on the way out to kantmantoo. two places i can assume 99% of people have never heard of!
