Recent landscapes from where I live (unfortunately)

I hate this place. The landscape. The only possible pro argument for living on the country side seems to be "At least you have landscape".
Well sure I have, but it's rarely beautiful. It's dull. No nature, no scenery, just fields on hills.

From a trip to the railroad range up in the hills. It' really scarcely covered with vegetation. Like a huge iceberg of short grass :D

you have a good eye for composition those all have come out well

did you do any kind of processing on the sky or was the gradient naturally occurring?

i use lightroom to process my photos. it has an integrated gradual grey filter that can decrease exposure on a gradient mask. i never used such trickery in photoshop as it looked fake, but lightroom is far better in this. thx again. wish this forum was more active :(

Here's another one. I was on my way to a friend to get some uni work done when this sunset showed up.
The air was filled with cold light, an eternal moment, really beautiful.

not played with the filters much in lightroom yet

may well give it a go when if I ever get around to processing my vegas pics ;o

"Unfortunately"?? This looks an interesting place. I live in the country and I must say there're lots of wonderful moments and places to catch. You should go looking for them! At dawn or at dusk, with a couple of clouds, landscapes are often magic! Sure, when fields or meadows are blooming, you can get stunning shots. Sometimes, a simple tree is enough to do with.
There're hugely possibilities to manage to get an amazing pic. Keep on trying several things at different moments!
I really would like to give you some tips but I unfortunately don't speak English very well... :(

As for those, I really like the two last one.

"Clear Winter Sky, Green Grass" is brilliant. The colours are gorgeous. Aint that bad over there.
