Love the last photo! Lighting the inside would of distracted the mood of looking out the window.


Ditto what drest said. I love the last picture. It made me feel something. Like I was glad I was inside and not out in the snow!

What type of lens did you use? What were you doing different than you usually do?

I love #3. Did you apply a vignette glow to it? Just wondering


Yes I did , thanks. I don't usually mess with photos like that , but the last week I have been playing around a bit with some trying to get almost a painterly feel to them ...just for fun.
Thank you

I used a wide angle 18 mm at ISO 100 (unusual for the dark room) 1/320 s and f3.5
I wanted the room to have that dark feeling because it is a very dark room . The walls are deep green and it is all built in bookshelves and dark wood. However I did not want the outdoors to be overexposed it was late afternoon and the tree was so beautiful aginst that blue sky.
Glad you like it... ;-)

I like 3 out 4. The chapel on its own is sort of boring. There is so much more to like with the people in it and the snowman.
I like the window picture too....just the way it is...I think fill flash would have taken something away.

But most of all I like your attitude...yup you will never please everyone.

The photograph looking out of thw window is a perfect example of what HDR processing was made for. The effect here is good but if a client wanted to see the detail in the furnishings he would be out of luck. HDR would have been the answer, 2 pics 1 exposed for the bright outdoor area and the second for dark inside detail, merge em and you have got the desired shot.

That's interesting, I have never used HDR.. would you loose the dark moody shadowy feel of the interior ?

If you lightened the interior original just a tad you might not take away from the ambience and of course you could take several interior shots (assuming the camera was on a tripod) and altering the aperture by half stop intervals and somewhere you will find the perfect merge that suits YOUR taste.

I have in the past photographed house interiors where one exposure would have sacrificed the interior or exterior but you could not have both (assuming you were not into expensive and bulky lighting equipment) You could also (if you have several images try Paint Shop Pro and use their merge technique.

Ha ha... Thanks I gave up a long time ago trying to please everyone...I don't mind at all when someone does not like a photo. Usualy there are a few that do ... sometimes I think I like a photo and then I post it here and say...hmmm what was I thinking ha ha. The chapel with the kids was such a moment it was beautiful but I was a good distance away and used my 300 mm .The other picture of the chapel I tried to catch the shadows that were so amazing but I was not too sucsessful capturing that , it was so much more beautiful than the photo shows. sometimes it is hard to get the life behind the light . Thanks for looking :thumbup:
