[QUOTE="Piano Player, post: 10580762, member: 32181"] O.K. here is how I think you could have made the pictures better: (by the way they are "good stuff.") In the first picture I like the white hill rising out of the clouds, the cool monochromatic colors, and the softness of the clouds contrasted with the hard sky and hill. The brown field in the middle ground distracts from those elements, and worse, leads the eye off the frame to the left. Too bad the clouds didn't cover that part, or too bad you couldn't have changed perspective to either eliminate the field, or at least have it be a graphical element that leads the eye to something important in the picture. (the hill?) The picture's softness (camera shake?) actually could add to the atmosphere in this one. The second picture suffers from contrast problems and lens flare. Slide film not only must be exposed spot on, but cannot hold as much exposure contrast as color or b/w. The overexposed lens flare muddies the whole picture as if gauze were placed over the lens. While gauze is necessary for some over the hill actresses, it rarely suits in a landscape. Some things to try next time: 1) graduated filter lets you hold back the sun while letting foreground come out a bit; 2) While camera is on tripod increase exposure time (expose for foreground to be dark, but not too dark), and while looking through viewfinder use a hat or some soft object to "dodge" exposure of the sun. In other words, you will use the hat to block the sun for some part of the long exposure (make sure to keep it moving so the outline does not show up); and/or 3) wait for the sun to get lower. The lower the sun, the less intense it will be in comparison to the foreground and middle ground. [/QUOTE]
