74 Sep 22 Comment Jeff, while I am admiring your September entry (Lighthouse), I am especially interested in your "My Kind of Place" in the Digital Dialogue. Could you take a moment and discuss how you processed the wonderful color...do you use luminosity masks? If yes, please direct me to a tutorial. Many thanks. Sep 30th

93 Sep 22 Comment Dawn, we just received a booklet...a list of travel tours from Collette Travel. They mention a tour of Grand Canyon where they feature a photo of the Horseshoe Bend. Their image is Not Nearly as vivid as yours! Sep 30th
93 Sep 22 Reply Thank you for your nice comments. The image is a bit noisy because I shot it from a distance with an 85 mm lens, at a relatively slow SS. I'm working on using Darcy's techniques of faster SS, higher ISO. Sep 23rd
93 Sep 22 Reply Thanks...where in Wisconsin ? Sep 21st

93 Sep 22 Comment Great light...great image. The sunset on the bridge blends beautifully with the sky. Regarding your new technique...how fast SS? how wide open aperture ? and how low ISO. Sounds interesting. I like your bridge! Sep 13th
93 Sep 22 Comment I have a folder where I save textures and clouds, used later for backgrounds. You can use this time and again to enhance other images. This is a Keeper. Great color, great exposure. Near the horizon, your clouds seem "pinker". I like that. Did you use an adjustment layer to produce that?
Well done

93 Sep 22 Comment Without reading your narrative, I was convinced this was a "self portrait"!! This is not far from how I imagined you, in this post pandemic period! ( I mean this as a compliment)
"People shots" are becoming more and more interesting for me. This is a good one.
Your town's "Rhody Festival", no doubt ,attracts many colorful characters . We have biker enthusiasts passing through here, every summer. Did you happen to notice any Stugis SD decals on his Harley. It looks like you had fun with this project. Well done

93 Sep 22 Comment This image, once on your wall, will evoke many interesting comments from your guests. They won't know the energy you had to put forth to produce this. They'll see something seemingly simple...then ask lots of questions. This is a fun image.
Well done

93 Sep 22 Comment The name of the place sets the tone! Is this a Hitchcock movie, or the Hotel California? I'm glad you're experimenting with B/W. Moodiness and eeriness (Neil) are more pronounced when you tinker with B/W. Consider using a high structure or a high key filter, next time...NIK Collection has several. The gritty texture in the tree, on the left, compliments the gritty texture in the brick below your sign. Nice touch Sep 12th
93 Sep 22 Comment This is a Trophy! At first glance, I thought you had used a drone!! Your composition, focus and clarity are spot on...you have placed pinks where there should be pink! You have used long exposure, DOF, and a polarizer to create a wonderful image. Congratulations Sep 7th
