Hi for the first time, I'm new to this site and hope to learn some new photographic concepts. I will probably lurk in the background for a while until I see a post that moves my meter photographically speaking. I'll post some photos as a way to say hi. feel free to critique what you read and visualizeĀ

Hi
The first 2 are nice but there is something about the third.
The third is stunning, the clouds are almost something you would expect in say, Independence day, amazing

Thanks for the reply, The use of Nik HDR Software in the third shot and a high image structure used in the 5 exposure bracketed scene brought all the detail in the clouds out. Main post process was done in Lightroom 4. :wink:

You have a great eye for drama, sadams! The first one is disorienting for me, though... can't tell if it's crooked or fish-eyed or what. Was the garden built on a slope?

I understand your position, there is a place for HDR and only when it works to tell the story better should it be used.

Good observation, the 14-24 mm fisheye nikon lens was it's first outing and I didn't leave enough room around the scene to fix the vertical perspective, but I liked the clouds in relation to the tree shape which put me in the choice arena to publish the effect which emphasized the tree/cloud shape, all other parts of the photo i viewed as supporting negative space, but in the end it does detract from the effect, A lesson learned...
