Outdoor Photos and Landscapes

Thank you!

 

You are most welcome! Right now it's not too regular. This is the first good showing of the lights in about a month or so.

The lights are made as a result of the sun's solar flares that are directed at earth. The colors come from sun particles attaching to a gas in the atmosphere, as the particles burn up. Right now the sun is in the middle of its 10 year quiet season, so the lights don't occur as much as they could.

If there is a decent flare, we normally see them! But the closer to the poles you are, the better the chance, as that is where they start (and travel down from there).

 

Wow, just some fantastic shots here! I have lots, here's a few:

Santa Cruz, CA


Big Sur, CA


Eldorado Canyon, CO

 

Very nice J. R. - ND8 on the last pic?

 

Thanks! Last pic is a hoya ndx400 (9 stop), first pic is that and a B&W Circular Polarizer

 

Sir, you are much more than an amateur! I really enjoy seeing your photos.

In this age of digital photography and affordable decent cameras, everyone fancies themselves a photographer. While it has no doubt introduced the masses to a higher level of "picture taking," true photography involves good equipment, skill, and a gift. You obviously have good equipment, the skill and the gift!

 

Stunning! Great combination of objects, colors, and depth perception.

 

Thank you very much for your kind words! . I have worked hard and studied hard to get to where I am with photography. Hearing that someone likes a photo makes it all worth while!

 

Beautiful!

 

A local eagle. Wow you have great wildlife in your neighbourhood.

 

Stunning. Both the picture and the landscape.

 

Wow! I'm completely in awe here. You probably do this for a living!

 

I wish! No, just another hobby. Thanks though!

 

Reminds me of Madison County, as in the movie. Do you find covered bridges all across the US? Think I've only seen a single one here in Norway.

How far North you live, Luke? AB certainly is magical.

 

Returned from trip to Quebec City.

 

Lovely pictures Doug. Looks like you guys had a great time.

 

We had amazing time. The weather was very good for 6 days. The last day a storm came in hard. We had already seen what we wanted to see so we went to dinner which wasn't far from our hotel. Quebec City is a fort. built by Champlain.

 

Adobe has an offer on-going offer where you can get both Photoshop 2015 and Lightroom 2015 for $9.99 monthly. The software resides on your computer. Updates are free. Support is free. IMHO, this is the best of the best in photo processing software. Just wanted to let folks know.
