Default CP Photo Challenge #2 : Landscapes (WINNER: JAYEMS)

For our second round of the photo challenge I went with the pretty easy and open theme of landscapes. I know it's not the most exciting theme but I'm hoping that it will get everyone posting their photos to really keep this going.

THEME: Landscapes, any photo that the main subject is the scenery is accepted. It pretty wide open so bring your best.

RULES:
1) One photo per post, it helps with voting.
2) Try and keep the image size to 800x600 or lower
3) It doesn't matter if you are a pro or just beginning we want to see it but it has to be your photo.

Is there some HDR type manipulation with that pic kobafett? If not that's truely impressive (still impressive if so, but to get that kind of colour with one shot, wow).

Thanks and yes it's an HDR image and then worked on in photoshop to make it look less like an HDR image.

Somehow I think these two posts send conflicting messages to the lesser photographers on the board. Awe inspiring....


I'll gladly contribute as one of those lesser photographers though.

Well dang I can't find some of my pictures!! My whole trip to Palm Springs seems to be AWOL



Quick shot at a vineyard near Kelowna somewhere. I didn't like the tools and stuff but the lighting was cool. I really need to buy a UV filter.

Seriously, the pics are on my facebook page, where are the files!!!



One other one, this one is old, a scan of a print from a trip. Not sure if this counts as a landscape since its in a city, but one of my favorites.
