random shots - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

These are a few random shots I've taken in the past year.
I make no claim to be a photographer. I take pics of what catches my eye.
Any suggestions, comments or critiques are welcome.

Cape Cod canal bike path

The view from my sunroom after a storm last year.

The little pond in my backyard that I share with a neighbor

Mystic Seaport Mystic, CT

I like the first two locations... and I like the composition... but... I'd go back to these same spots and shoot around sunset/sunrise. Better light.

more shadows can make a better picture.
thanks

I like the second and third shots the best but I'd have sharpened them a bit.

And I agree with fnaqzna about the light - awesome composition in the first shot and it'd only be better if the color in the sky popped.

how would you have sharpened them? (not certain what you mean)

Manic_Skafe · 02-04-2008, 06:11 AM

I meant just to bring out the fine details a bit more in post processing.

It's just my personal preference to sharpen every picture I take - it removes a layer of haze and brings out the colors a bit more.

Fotzlid · 02-04-2008, 06:22 AM

ahhh...gotcha.

i currently don't have any photo editing software so everything goes from camera to HD.

hmmm...an excuse to go buy more software.....

I am more jealous of the amount of space you have - I guess living in a New York City apartment for a few years will do that to you!

I like them all. Very nice. Brought back northern memories and I just knew when I saw those masts that they were in Mystic Seaport. I was there when I was around 10 and still remember.

troit - I don't think I could live in the city. That house in the back bothered me for awhile when we first moved in. Too close. lol

jewels - thank you
