(23 Nov: I added three pics.)
Update:
Taken with iPhone 5s. With HDR, which fought a valiant fight against the surprisingly contrasty light this afternoon.
Apple is to be commended for not overdoing the HDR (contrast correction by combining several exposures) so as to get the unrealistic images where a sky is about as dark as a black cliff. No, it just corrects to get a bit more detail in the shadow and highlights, good.
This fantastic light, along with the dramatic clouds and the autumn colors, makes this quiet burg look grand. (Carefully choses viewpoints and compositions don't hurt, of course.)

On a cloudy day, the building and gate in the first photo would be foreboding. Excellent detail, depth of field and composition.
On this lovely day, I did not see it as foreboding. But:
nice shots from a phone
ReplyDeleteThanks.
ReplyDeleteYes, especially given that landscapes, with all the detail, is the one of the things which traditionally demands a really big camera and lens, tripod and so.
But these actually look quite good on my 30-inch monitor.
Welcome, Allan, it has been awhile. Do you visit the blog occasionally?
(Guys, Allan was one of the first contributing photographers to Domai, back in the nineties.)
Beautiful pics Eolake xx thank you for sharing

ReplyDeleteTypical Eolake genius.
ReplyDeleteI like #3 a lot. Love the shadow on the side of the building and the red lines contrasting with the blue sky.
ReplyDeleteI have repeatedly failed the test to prove I am not a robot :(
ReplyDeleteSuccess! I was worried there for a bit, thinking perhaps I really *am* a robot. I mean, would I know? I guess it would depend on my programming. Anyway, hello! Wonderful photos. Wish I were there to amble about a bit with you. Here in Florida we have nothing like this. I haven't seen a proper autumn sky in a decade. Best Regards Eo
ReplyDeleteHey Kevin,
ReplyDeleteIf you are a robot, you're surely not of this time, seeing the lovely work you do.
JP,
ReplyDeleteI've made and posted a version inspired by your comment.
me agrees 100% with Russ on #3
ReplyDeleteThanks, guys. :-)
ReplyDeleteVery Lovely as usual.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fine eye you have for color, texture, shape! I find these Autumn pix most agreeable.
ReplyDeleteCordially,
