After limiting my presence here for more than a year to reading, watching photos and drooling on other members' equipment, I guess the time has come to share some of my photos on the forum.

I would love to have some feedback, especially on how I could improve my photos PS wise (while keeping it realistic).

Thanks for looking.

The first and third are beautiful sharp and clean, with lovely lighting ...i really like the mossy rocks on the first and the bridge is a fresh angle for me in 3.

2 not really my sort of thing, but otherwise great job!

1 is great! However, I am not a fan of tilts on a scenery shot,
For 2... 3 is good, though!


I wonder if the video editors on The Titanic ever went, "Sorry, I can't right now. I'm busy synching the Titanic..."

Agreed - Number 3 is the pick of the bunch for me - althought you could have got in closer!

Thanks for the comments. I tried to give picture 2 an ancient look but I still have to work of my PS skills I think.

Vintage? I created a couple of presets for this effect using LR, are you using LR? (LightRoom)

Yes, I use LR for all of my photos to convert them to JPG and do some basic post-processing (lens correction, saturation, levels). I used the post-crop vignetting for this one.

Would you mind sharing some of those settings?

Nice shots and fantastic lighting. #2 does not work with the tilt or vinegtte. Unfortunately, ever key and their mom has taken #3. You need to find a way to shoot the bridge in a way nobody has seen before.
