Haast river gorgePosted by jamesy (christchurch, New Zealand) on 15 February 2009 in Landscape & Rural. further up the road the river narrows and turns into a gorge. This photo does not do it justice I really enjoy taking photos and would appreciate your feedback so that I can learn as I go. I particularly enjoy photographing birds animals and landscapes

Observing from West Cheshire, United KingdomA difficult situation for the camera to expose properly, but a good impression of the river anyhow ;) 15 Feb 2009 6:17am @Observing: Yep I'm not sure what I did to this I think i tried to lighten in and on here it has got very grainy not at all good Mike from Lichfield, United KingdomSpooky, I can see a scary man's face in the central brightly lit rock that's leaning at a 45 degree angle. Apart from that it's a lovely picture of the gorge. 15 Feb 2009 7:24am @Mike: Well spotted and thanks for checking out my photos EYES WIDE SHUT from The library of my soul, United KingdomThis really is my kind of location. I love to sit by places like this and listen to the water flowing by, and be with my thoughts. When confronted by the real beauty that mother nature gives us, my life seems to fall into place, and I lose the stresses and strains of the day. A glorious scene, Debbie. With portrait shots on Aminus 3, I have found that I prefer to resize them as they appear too long on the page and you can't see the entire image without scrolling down, somewhat spoiling the visual experience. So what I do is resize them to be smaller, and viewable asis, like the landscape shots. In Paint shop pro the standard portrait length is 42.5 and I simply resize manually to 17.5. This cuts the height to a perfectly viewable size and automatically keeps the width in proportion. Naturally, it's a personal preference, and not a criticism at all, but I like to view a photograph without scrolling. Have a great day, Debbie 15 Feb 2009 9:39am @EYES WIDE SHUT: thanks Paul I to prefer to see them without scrolling Will have to remember to resize them Charles from New York, United StatesAnother great looking spot. The water looks gorgeous. 15 Feb 2009 12:13pm Alun Lambert from cheshire, United Kingdomlooks a realy good place for photography 15 Feb 2009 2:21pm @noisycat: thanks for the comment and the visit mellofello from United KingdomI too see the face rock. He looks terrified. Maybe he petrified clinging on, not daring to let go in the torrent of the time. The grainy look gives force to this kind of image, even if achieved by mistake. it certainly got my imagination working. Love the whole work though. Fascinating, a beautiful scene. 15 Feb 2009 7:13pm @mellofello: thanks so much Liners mum isn't it funny how people see dfferent things in photos JJ from Jersey City, United StatesSuch a beautiful place clearly, and challenging light conditions, I too would love to ist in the spot and drift away into a relaxing mood listening to the water cascading down 15 Feb 2009 7:45pm Lesley from Lincoln, United StatesA lovely photo, Debbie! I like the splashes of yellow from the buttercups (?). The water has an amazing icy blue tone to it! 15 Feb 2009 8:49pm @Lesley: Thanks Loraaine I think the yellow flowers are actually dandelions. The water would be very cold even in summer. Maxine from Rangiora, New ZealandI cheated and walked onto the bridge, only two other cars came over while i was on the bridge, but that was enough, when you step onto the lip to get out of the way the barrier is then only at knee height-scary! Good shot Deb. 15 Feb 2009 9:03pm @Maxine: too scary Max Calusarus from St Sorlin en Valloire, FranceWhat a nice landscape ! The water color is gorgeous… 16 Feb 2009 9:23pm Tammy/Cricket from Huntsville, United StatesOh my goodness. Look at the clear water. Very innocent and pure. Lovely...just lovely. 17 Feb 2009 4:41am |
