My lawn.

Where do you live?

 

[Maglor]

Somewhere that is unseasonably dry. Never seen anything like this here before.

 

[ZaCHw117]

Me too, but my front yard is as lush as the african jungle.

 

[Maglor]

So, what does the "me too" apply to exactly?

Living where it's unseasonably dry


You should invest in one of these:

Not to get all care-bear-serious, but that's a huge waste of water.

Care-bear-serious.

Didn't have my Panasonic on me, but snapped these with my iPhone today. Thought they turned out decent.

Just one question ZaCH...

Why are your horizon lines so slanted? Usually that is done to give a creepy or something is off feel to a shot, like in "The Twilight Zone" or the "Batman" TV series.

What are you trying to say with your horizon's so tilted?

 

[Maglor]

I think the slant works well on this one:

Definitely has that creepy feel.

^^^ Really like these two.

Not too sure, but I seem to always take photos like that.

Thanks mags.

Diggin the pics Zach. They would lend themselves very well to HDR's which I just started messing with today...

I think I'm in love. lol I never really felt comfortable with landscapes, but I'm really liking how they turn out as HDR's.

 

[ZaCHw117]

Thanks bud.

Noob question, what's an HDR? Doesn't have something to do with taking various pictures of the same thing, then combining them?

 

[beeshaw]

Yup. Stands for High Dynamic Range. You take 3 photos all at different exposure levels (one 2 stops under, one 2 stops over) and that way you get the details in the shadows and highlights you wouldn't normally get otherwise.

I literally decided to give it a shot last night. Visited a friend who lives a little outside the suburbs today, so on my way home I stopped a couple times and snapped some pics. Just downloaded Photomatix and played around a little tonight.

 

[ZaCHw117]

Yeah, those turned out awesome. I might have to try it one of these days.

Damn. That's spectacular.

I'm going to France next week. Might have to give this a little thought...
