hello roanjohn,

I have taken many landscape shots during 2004 but I always liked this one taken October 18, 2004 of the Saint Nicholas River in Kent County, New Brunswick, Canada with a digital rebel

This is tough! I've taken so many and it's hard to choose just one. But I kind of like this one

This was taken somewhere between Nordegg and Banff National Park in Alberta Canada.

[roanjohn]

Maz - Wonderful shot!!! The yellows on top of those trees and the refelction looks very good!!!

Stoneylonesome - Great shot.........I like the way you framed the subject with the tree and the fence...........it looks inviting....:)

Boomer - STUNNING!!! WOW!!! Let me guess..............its either Colorado or somewhere in Canda..............did I get it right??

We need more!!!

beautiful shots


this picture was taken in nearby mountains (county wicklow ) a few months ago:) http://www.pbase.com/image/33202729/original.jpg

[KarinaB1970]

This is probably one of my favorites...scanned film photo, pre-digital.

This gazebo shot was taken in the early morning as the sun was lifting off of this flooded park.

[roanjohn]

Scottes - Love the refelction!!! Looks like a great day for birding ;-) hence the telephoto lens only (I'm guessing...........)

Marie - Interesting contrast between a foggy background and a colorful, sunny foreground.............NICE!!!

Karina - OOHHH..........dreamy and surreal.............great mood.

MORE MORE MORE!!!

[sparker1]

All so far are wonderful shots. Out of several thousand shots taken this past year, this MAY be my favorite. It shows an old cabin near Salmon Glacier, located in British Columbia near Hyder, Alaska.

As a newbie in photography I donot have the skills to match the shots posted on this thread. These are absolutely stunning photographs with excellent sharpness. What lenses do you guys use?

Here's my favourite... this was taken in summer of 2004 on my way from Banff to Jasper. Mountain Ranges of the Rockies, Alberta. Taken at around 9:45pm just after the sunset.

Thanks, Roajohn! Sparker, I absolutely love that image! Beautiful shots everyone :)

[Markus]

I like the clouds in this flat landscape. Philipsdam, Zeeland, Bruinisse, The Netherlands.

[RogCincy]

I would have to say that this is my favorite that I shot this passed year. I really wish that I would have shot it RAW instead of JPG so I could tweak it a little bit.

Taken in September along the Fairy Falls trail in Yellowstone National Park :

[jmjmotorsport]

My favorite of the year. To me it captures a sort of dark, eerie feel.

[roanjohn]

Sparker - SURREAL!!! It looks like a frozen sea.............nice!!

Boomer - Thanks!!! I should've just looked at your profile :-) I was close though...

Mikesd - NICE!!! Love the fog (I need to take some fog pics........must wake up early!!).

Chets - I'm SPEECHLESS!!! stunning shot.............WOW!!

Markus - beautiful clouds......interesting how you framed the photo........with the road in a diagonal.........very unconventional.

RogCincy - Always wanted to go there.........nice shot.........I don't know why you need to tweak it anymore......the exposure is spot on with good colors.......this shot could've been a tweaked RAW shot (nobody would even know if you didn't mention it :-p).

Jmjmotorsport - eerie and desolate.......great tranquil mood.

Damian - our first IR shot............I like it!!!

Where are the others?? There HAS to be more!!

I think these are a couple of my favorite shots last year,
Up at Lake Tahoe in the middle of August, it was just so blue and clear.

We were in the vicinity of 20,320 foot hi Mt McKinley in Alaska for 3 days in June last year and were extremely fortunate to be able to see it all 3 days. Some people don't get to see it at all even on multiple trips. This photo was taken 62 miles inside Denali National Park...Harvey

Some incredible landscapes here. This one is one of my favourites (not that I've got all that many to choose from http://www.photography-on-the.net/forum/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif ). Not sure why I like either - (maybe I'm just excited by the fact that I got the horizon level for once http://www.photography-on-the.net/forum/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif ).Perhaps its the "isolation" of the building in a "sea" of blue.

[sparker1]

Just have to say it again: All these shots are awesome. I'm enjoying this a lot.

Here is my winner of 2004.

It is taken on the most western part of Europe, the isle of El Hierro.
I like the gloomy impression of the water and the mountain.

[johngraham2002]

[MarkoPolo]

My first post to the forum!

Rocky Mountain National park, September 26th. Canon 10D, 100-400 at 200mm, 1/20th at f20 with tripod.

Comments welcome!

[MarkoPolo]

OK, now I've done it!
First question, I had to keep downsizing in PS to get below 100KBs and now the photo isn't as large as others, how do I get around that? Is it JPEG quality setting that is limiting the size? Thanks for the help to a posting newbie! Mark B

[kawter2]

hahah the irony, a landscape taken in portrait ha!!

Resize in PS (Longest side 800 pixels is about right) then open the resize dialogue box again and this time make sure the Resample Image check box is ticked and then change the Resolution to 75 Pixels/Inch this will retain the image size and reduce the file size.

Well thats the way I do it, if anyone has any other ideas I would love to know too.

This was taken in western Canada in July of this year. In an area that is famous for its wind, hence the windmills.

love that pic....GORGEOUS Dahhhling

[stoneylonesome]

Thanks AprilShowers. I was real happy with the way that one came out. More so than the one I took of the same place during a snow storm that I posted on an earlier thread
http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?t=52995

[MarkoPolo]

Thanks Neil_R for your reply! I'm trying this again. The only way I can keep it aroung 100k is to lower the jpeg quality setting to 1 in PS CS. Still is 1000 pixels on longest side and 72 pixels/inch. Hopefully this will be a better size post.

Thank you. Btw... your ballroom gallery is great. The #40 and #45 are fantastic.

[roanjohn]

Thanks Juliano..........

Come on folks...........we need more............I am really inspired by these shots!!! I'm just waiting for some snow to come here in NYC then I'll do some snowscapes :-)

Roanjohn,
Thanks for starting this thread. The work submitted here is pretty incredible. For my work, there were quite a few I liked, but these two are my favorites.

The first is from the day we hooked up in NYC with Vadim.

and the second is from the Giant's Causeway in Northern Ireland
