nice foggy effect.

[RayTravis]

nice and sharp pictures...
However, the first 8 pictures, the WB seems to be more on the red channel.
Perhaps you might want to re-PP that...

Just my 2cent tots..

Beautiful shots. Seems like there are nobody there except you.

thanks raytravis! yeah i agree the first 8 shots are too warm. the sunlight was really strong that time. i will try to desaturate the colors some more.

where did you stay?

#8 and #13 are nicely composed, i am not so sure about the rest. they either lack a form of balance, due to unevenly weighted distribution of elements, or they are simply much too cluttered with any seeming form of organisation.

as others have mentioned, the first few are way too on the red side! you don't need desaturation, but some work with channel mixer will make the tones much more pleasing without a dominant red cast.

thanks for the comment and advise. will try the channel mixer. i agree with the unbalanced or cluttered composition of the pics. i was too excited to try my new filters, didn't spend enough time to plan the shots. tsk. must do better next time. 8 and 13 are also my favorites in the set, plus 11 as well.

Love your photos, especially 2, 10 and 13. Which hotel did you stay in and what kind of filter did you use?

thanks night86mare i agree, actually i was very tempted to move the rocks to the left during post-processing.. but.. it's almost 3am! must. sleep. NOW! goodnight.

I like #2, #3 (especially the shadow of the rocks), #8 and #12.

Nice series~

Very nice series.

Is it a must to have the filters to get those foggy effect?

thanks fotojoy! nd filters are necessary if you want to do long exposures in bright places, like for this set.
