Here's some shots I took over the weekend. Not going to upload because I don't want to reduce the filesizes if need be, and they're kind of big for here anyway... so hope you can deal with the deviation links.

As said in the discriptions, fullview is recommended (even though I say required :P).

PS: Are they showing up in my gallery yet? They don't seem to want to show up -.-

Yeah theyre showin up, :) .. Theyre awesome, cant see how anyone can get shots that clear, you must have a very expensive camera or something.. :D , Did you take the photographs for a purpose or did you just take em for the hell of it? 10/10 all the way.

Cool pics :tup:

Thanks mate. My camera is by no means expensive, brand new (4 years ago) it was probably worth $150. It came free with the computer (either a digital camera or a printer.) Each shot had it's own little purpose ;) can figure it out from reading the discriptions.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As for them being clear... they all were taken at like 1100x1700 resolutions (then rotated if needed,) or something around that and as you can see they're downsized substancially, so that may be part of why they seem clear. Also, I didn't do too much to the actual clarity in Photoshop, but there is definately noticeable PS Postwork that may be giving them a clearer illusion. I'm going to upload some downsized versions of the raw photos [after I'm done writing this] to show the extent of the postwork.

Here's the raw [highly downsized but still saved at high quality] photographs, before postwork in Photoshop.

utterly beautiful... the only word that does these justice -- beautiful.

Looking great, I love them all, but the first 3 are my favorites.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You are a good photographer, don't know why your not getting more views and replys on DA :(

I like the third the best, it's very nice to look at. The first one I like as well, the colors are good in it. The boat adds a lot to it. The second is cool because of the meaning it has to you, and the last I see nothing special in.

awesome job on the pictures

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

i like the 3rd one best, really relaxing veiw. Btw nice toes! :lol:

Haha. You never told me you were a phenomenol photographer as well Cal!

 

 

 

They are all just... gorgeous.

Utterly beautiful, something to rest my eyes after studying for hours ( 1 hour :wink: ), the third one was the coolest! I liked the 1st alot too!

wow ... amazing ... 10/10

the 3rd photo was a gorgeous photo... 2 problems with it tho.. it had like a bird or somthing at the very top of the photo... it was disturbing ur pic... and on the strip of shadowed land ther was a strip of colour... it looked messy... i just fix'd it up for u... i hope u dont mind, :) just trying to help, but other than those 2 minor things its a very beautiful photo. :D

Thanks for the compliments, first of all mate ;).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As for the problems... I knew they were there, I just chose not to edit them as other than color/brightness/contrast adjustments and things relating to that, I like to leave my photos as natural as possible. And I certainly don't mind you fixing them up, infact I appreciate it. But, now that I look at the fixed up image you did, I think it would be wise to remove that little disturbance near the top (it's just a out of place, dark cloud). May I ask how you removed it and still kept it looking nice and natural? I'm going to venture a guess that it's either a clone stamp or you did some brushing :P.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

But as for the strip of color, I kind of personally still like it there. :oops:

PS: Thanks to everyone else who commented too, I highly appreciate it.

:) thats np.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

i fixed up the cloud by 'clone brushing' it, while at the same time keeping the opacity low so that it does not clutter, sharpen, or ruin in anyway the cloud. :) its accually really simple to do. :)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

hope that helped :)
