I have decided I am old enough to take a few hits, (as a former ER nurse it has gone so far as threats of death) so I would like some opinions from people more competent than I. I would appreciate some critique of my compositions as well my efforts to create B&W and sepia renditions of color photos. I have a 10D with a couple of L lenses, shoot in RAW format, usually with a tripod, and use PS2 to edit. Large images are available, and accessed by clicking on the thumbnails

Thanks for sharing. Nice classical work.
I personnally prefer the B&W versions of the 3 first shots over their color and sepia brothers.

Bernard

Thanks for your input. I will have a go at printing them in 16x20 and see how they look. I was afraid that that the photos might be so insufferably boring that nobody had an opinion beyond that.

Hi There:
I agree with Bernard that the B&W images are the best of what you show there. Since desert landscapes seem to be your interest, I'd suggest you look up the work of other photographers doing similar work - Alain Briot for example - and look at how they make the images they do. Every photographer has their own vision, but looking at the works of others can help you develop yours. A recent article by Michael put this much better than I have...
Mike.

Thank you. I will follow your suggestions. Since I live in a desert, it would help if I understood how best to shoot it. I tend to enjoy B&W since I played around with it in early 70's, with a Leica IIIc. I have played with burning my B&W images, however it always feels strange to me. Color frustrates me, I keep looking at what I have done and wonder if it looks like a bad calendar.
Looking at the great work displayed by the contributors on LL makes me envious of their skills, and realize how far I need to go.
