Fourth section is Sunsets

This is the last section for now.

The 3rd photo is a zoom in of the same sky as in the 2nd photo, but for some reason the sky went very red.

Beautiful stuff Snowflake.

my favs are your flowers. keep it up!

[Crimson Dark]

wow I love the architecture and sunsets.
on the 4th landscape, the concrete pier is distracting, and the slight tilt is throwing it off personally
awsome pics I am looking forward to more updates

[Snowflake]

dkounios: Thanks a lot! I'm glad you like them :)

Crimson Dark: Thank you very much ;) Yup, both the pier and the tilt is bothering me too... The thing is, to get an unblurry pic (I didn't use flash) I had to place the camera on an egde made of rocks which (obviously) wasn't completely even. But I guess I could've avoided the pier :/

I took a few pics in my garden today, it has pretty much been raining the past days, so there were some waterdrops out walking (waterdrops = niiice).

Enjoy :)

I see your reflection in the water on the purple flower and your camera reflection in the last one. :)

Very nice clarity on the water droplet ones! You may want to play around with cropping on #4 though.

i find most to be a tab dull, mostly due to not having pure blacks. They are great shots though.

if you use photoshop at all, bring up levels and slide the left to the right til you get it juuuuussssttttt right.........or not

[Snowflake]

Thank you for your comments purplerose and Mhouse :) I don't know a heck about photoshop, I haven't even got it :S If I did though, I would fix some of the pics ;) Especially the ones with the waterdrop-reflection-mistakes =P


Just adding some new photos from an island here in Norway where they plant exotic flowers. The shots could be a lot better, but my camera isn't top quality or anything and I'm not one of earth's great photographers :) Hope you like them anyway.

I agree with what has been said above. I think these are nice, especially like the red sky with tree silhouettes, but they would benefit from a simple level adjustment. The lack of photoshop is not a huge problem, I think there are free software packages out there like GIMP, and since the shots are strong on their own, even an autolevels is probably all that is required to really push them to eyecandy.
