Description
Hmm... It seems like a long time since I posted a photo, so...Nothing special about this one. 'Tis just plain ol' Kentish land.
I felt like uploading a portrait, but I've got a few proper landscapes which will be submitted some time in the future. I typically love landscapes, but... I don't feel as if I get a feel for them in the same way that I do with abstract/surreal. The piece lacks the impact I want it to have, but I guess it's natural, in that sense...
Ah well, thanks for viewing.

The field looks so small in comparison with the vast sky above.
I really like the clear and intense colours.
Also the clouds look so powerful.

So you've conveyed what you wanted to convey?
Lol, that's good.

Lol, that's good.
But maybe you felt there was less of an impact
because it wasn't abstract enough
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Perhaps so... I am more fond of abstract, although it does depend on the mood.

Abstract is lovely.
Is it also possible for you to expand
on 'depend on the mood?'
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I think so as well!
Well, sometimes I love abstract, but other times, I'm asking what the heck I'm doing. >.>

LMAO. I get what you mean.
But I think sometimes we need abstract,
because it sort of builds on our creativity.

That's true! Makes life more interesting.

I like the plainness of it. Sometimes less is more, and this seems like a perfectly beautiful spring day.
I like the bright colors vs. the back part which has not yet bloomed into greens. It shows the lull between winter and summer nicely.
The one thing is, the grass seems a bit dark.
Lovely though regardless.

Indeed!
Ah, I suppose so... might have to do some more Photoshop work with that. It was tough trying to get the right exposure because the sun wasn't on my side. >.<
Thank you very much!

You've got that right.
Not unless we want to cut ourselves up.

Photography is seeming to be a more dangerous hobby than I ever believed.

I really like how you made the sky the main focus of this piece. It really emphasizes the flatness of the land and the immensity of the Earth. Nice job with the exposure and the tones as well. I like how you can see the details in the grass, but yet that all the clouds are picked out against the blue of the sky. This shot makes me feel small, but in a good way.

I love the shadow of the cloud!!!!!!! Everything looks so green. Looks like a scene in a movie... a picnic scene. Like one of those English murder shows!

Thank you very much!
Murder shows.

You're welcome.
The camera pans to the right... and slight patters of red start to appear. Screaming fills the speakers and a gushing stream of blood rolls down the grassy hill. Nah. Just kidding.

Thanks!
My pieces are always noisy where that lens is concerned. >.<
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
an ISO speed of 400 is a bit high for a shot thats taken in the afternoon
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hmm... I set it on Auto.
Perhaps I should just set it as 100 all the time? =/
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
a 100 or whatever the lowest value is. ISO can only be increased in extreme conditions
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hmm...
So there won't be any loss of quality or whatever?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I don't think so.
ISO is used in dark places when you don't have a tripod or in indoors where the lighting isnt great, so you could avoid out-of-focus photos
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I just looked it up.
The thing is, for me, I don't use a tripod for the majority, if not all, of my photos. I have one, but it's more of an inconvenience than anything, as I do a lot of moving around and all sorts.
That, and lowering the ISO means the shutter speed is longer, and I don't have much of a steady hand. >.<
I'm thinking there may be some software out there to do with noise reduction and stuff.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
ya i see what you mean. and i dont have a steady hand either
Okay then, thats extreme conditions, lol. Still, keep the ISO low as default
yes there is one: "Neat Image"
you could reduce noise, but you cant fix an out-of-focus photo
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I wouldn't mind having a steady hand!
It gets easier the lighter the lens is, I suppose.
Hmm... Perhaps I should just keep it low and if things constantly blur, to increase it, and to not just leave it on Auto.
True, that.
Thanks a lot.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
that would be great ! XD
ya, dont just leave it on Auto
my pleasure

i like that you didn't lean towards the typical horizontal approach to the photo. there are so many times when you can totally capture so much more of the scene by shooting vertical and in this case your choice of vertical coupled with the framing with the vast amount of sky in comparison to the background is an excellent decision!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I will do, later on.
Thank you very much!

anytime love!
i always look forward to your photos!

The clouds are beuatiful.
In fact the whole picture is wonderful. I love nature...and green...and this picture makes me feel at home[and there will be a time when I'll leave]
Good job!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No problem..
I don't know when..maybe in two years when I'll go to college...

I disagree- I think this piece has a lot of impact! I love the ratio of sky to land in this pic, all those rolling clouds give it a very majestic feel.
