Hey, I have not posted here in a while but I finally decided I would. I am studying abroad in England right now, and before the semester started I went traveling in Italy/Switzerland by myself for about 10 days and was able to bring my camera! I got loads of shots but I will just post a few of them for now unless more are wanted. I hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoyed being there taking them.

Looks a bit like Lord of the Rings!

A sweet waterfall from my first day hiking here. I wish I had another chance to go back and shoot here because I was rushed. Was hiking with some other people I met at the hostel and did not want to keep them waiting too long!

Beautiful place for sure. Your 4th. pic is really well composed and looks great.

Be careful not to over saturate the sky like in the first pic as the shadows are also blue.

Okay. I get what your saying, but I went back to look at the JPEG original of the shot and the shadows were 'blue'. Its just how it was at that time with the atmosphere I guess or something. I kind of personally like that feel better, but I will see if I can darken the shadows a bit in PS.

Here, I attempted to darken the shadows a little bit and take out the some of the blue, but not a lot. Not that easy for a noob with PS since the picture itself was very blue originally. I kind of enjoy the feel of it anyways, so I guess I will just settle for this version

Goregeous set. The blue in the panos are bit too blue imo.

I will look into it again. Maybe on my monitor the color is off... which would not shock me!

I feel like I took almost everything you can without making it B/W from the mountains.
