I like this idea of reducing all the photography threads I normally post into one place. So I'm going to copy Sachi and Juneh :P

I've been going through my backlog of photos which is about...6 years worth of photographs. I will post the few that I kind of like here and update when I remember.

(Also forgive me if I post some that I have posted before :P)

Hello becki,
daydreamer here:

These are beautiful and I just can't say that enough times.
The first one looks like a postcard or a painting. The colors and the way the tree stands out?
Gorgeous. Stunning.

The second I like even better. I love the way the light comes through the branches.
The only thing that I might have liked a little better with this one is to see maybe a little more of the tree trunk?

I also love how your colors change with the order of your pictures.
You go from warm to cool to neutral. Not sure if that was intentional! :wink:

Your third one is my least favorite but very nice all the same.

Did you take these pictures where you live? If you don't mind my asking of course.
:smt003

Please post more!!

Yeah, they are mostly taken around the area I live in. When I lived at home I would go out photographing with my Dad on the weekends :)

Also I forgot to point out that I don't manipulate my photos at all in photoshop, what you see is how they come out.

Beeeecki!

I'm glad you've done this! I can now extensively bug you to update, and I will. :)

The first is gorgeous. I've grown to tire of photos of sunrises because they're usually bland and missing something, but this one is rather wonderful. The colors are vibrant, but not overly so where our eyes are harassed by sharp colors and such forth. A beautiful shot, nonetheless.


Snow covered trees! This is pretty -- perfect wintry tone and the blue in the back really accentuates this nicely.

The last one of the sky is nice as well, though I'm not too fond of the ground section. It's good, good but there's something about it that looks a touch incomplete...

You're such an impressive photographer, Becks. :P You make me want a to stash mine into a dark box and hide it forever.

Wow--these are so amazing! I'd never be able to take photos this good...

First Installment

First Picture--
Very nice and pretty. The clouds are the best part, although I'm not sure that huge tree on the right side adds to the photo.

Second Pic--
Nothing to critique. Totally awesome. :)

Third Pic--
Very pretty! I don't see anything wrong with this one either. Great job! :smt001

Second Installment

1st Pic--
Wonderful! I would've liked the cave thing to be a bit more symmetrical, but of course there's nothing you can do about that. ;)

2nd Pic--
Very nice. This reminds me of colonial times, for some reason! :P What I didn't like was that dirty, unclear stream...but again, you can't change that, can you?

3rd Pic--
Whoa. Everything was really good, but I think the letters should be a little clearer. Just my opinion; no offense intended!

Great job, though! You're a great photographer, so I expect you to keep posting here. :smt001 Thanks for the fantastic photos. :D

So I think I will post a few things that aren't my usual type of photo and were complete accidents. I'm not sure if I like them but see what you think. Perhaps I should stick to the usual.

Both Tom. The first time he just stood in my photo and the second time he was trying to prevent me from taking a photo lol

Hey Becki!I like the first picture but it looks like Tom is floating sort of. It's too dark so it looks like it's only the top part of him that is there. It wouldn't be so bad but it's of his back not looking the other way through the window. The second picture is better I think. I know he wasn't meaning to do anything but it looks like he is reaching for something. But of course I love you pictures. I think the ones that were taken on purpose are a little better though.
