My Neighbors Front Yard

[JohnBrainard]

I saw the horizon through the trees in my neighbors yard Friday evening when I got home from work. It was perfect. I ran back truck to get my camera and tripod and here's what I came up with(after RAW processing of course).



Here's another shot from the same location.

I love these shots, they are fantastic.

Good pics! I ALWAYS shoot in RAW, that way if I mess up the shot a little I can fix it.

Thanks for the comments! I e-mailed those pictures to my neighbor, but he hasn't responded.

ScottyBoy... That's about what I was thinking, that and you have a lot more flexibility later on to go back to the photo and do other interesting things. I'm sure I'll go back through my RAWs from time to time as the software I use (RawStudio) and I get better at RAW processing.

Have you figured out how to minimize the noise you get when you have to compensate for exposure? I've found that I get a lot of noise, especially in landscape shots that include the sky. Perhaps it's time to look into some polarizing filters.

 I still haven't figured out what noise is. Is it like camera vibration during exposure? If so, a good tripod will fix it every time.

Smaller camers are more lible to have noise or what is called grain due to the small size of the light meter. dslr's are not as likley to have the same problem, The photo attached is from Petosky MI. with a Polerizer filter...

[ScottyBoy]

I got it now. I don't know how to fix that cause I'v never had that happen before.
