Some diverse landscape shots

[Roll on Moon]

Hi everyone,
I'm new on this forum, I'm 19 years old student coming from Toulouse, in France. I have been practicing photo since June 2008 with a Canon EOS 450D and EF-S 18-55mm lens, and, of course, I'm keen on photo.
Although I mainly make ordinary shots, from time to time I do some HDR images.

Well, here are a few of my landscape shots I consider good:
"Just because of the moon..."

Thanks so much to you both for nice words!
I'll post new pics soon.

"Gloom in the mist" is spot on! "Essence of autumn" is great as well, but I think a standpoint a little lower would have been a great add-on.

Great photos, show us more!

Love the first three. Only advice I have now is to try to keep the borders simple. Too much can distract from your photos.

Keep posting! :)

Thank you for commenting!

all right, I'll do that the next time ;)


Well, I've not been into panoramic photo for long but that's very exciting, hope to do wonderful panoramics soon.
Here are my two first panoramic shots:

"Snowy day"

"Old church"
Colours were too much tasteless, I didn't see interest to keep them so I aged the pic

Really good photos in your first post, you have a good eye for composition! :)

I have to second rose regarding the frames, though, some of them are too distracting, like the one of "essence of autumn".

Nice work with the panoroamas, too. In the last one with the church it looks a bit like you had some dirt on your lens when the image is enlarged - you could try to remove that with photoshop or whatever software you're using.

Keep up the good work and show more! :)

Yea, you're right. Even though I like shots with framing, I'll take care of that next time ;)

In fact, this shot reminds me of the past so I aged it by adding some dirty things in order to emphasize on that thinking... I don't have those on the original shot.

I put on display another pic I took at an amazing sunset. This is the blend result of 3 shots with 3 different exposures but is not a HDR treatment:
"Blazing sky"

[Roll on Moon]

Link edited :).
I merged the shots in photoshop and played with opacity ;)
