First post ;-) Hi all.
« on: March 22, 2015, 02:43:24 pm »

Hi all.

First post here on Luminous-Landscape.
Through the years his site has become a favorite of mine due to the great articles.

Thought the first post had to feature a photo of mine so here you go:

Greetings to you all

Welcome!
 
Great shot. Would probably look great in b&w too.

Hi Slobodan.

Thank you.
I think you are right about the B&W. I have to try that!

And here it is:

Welcome David,

Great shot in colour (love that canola/rapeseed field) & B&W (those clouds!). You will have much to "live up to" now! ;)

Great photo. To me, the colour version is much better.

Welcome. Those clouds are magnificent, and work well in either the color or bw.

Lovely. And welcome!
PS Don't let anyone ;) give you a bad time about Dutch landscapes. I love this genre and with the intensity of the color in the field and the drama in the clouds, it's a winner IMHO.

Oh, no! Now we are going to have two exemplars from the happiest nation on earth, which, by default, is going to make the rest of us twice as miserable. ;)

Dutch landscapes! What a pity I never made it out to photograph. My daughter lives in Amsterdam (love it) but never made it out. Anyway, I do love this capture and especially the black and white.

Keep shooting!

I'm sorry, but where do you see Dutch?

I do not know about Mark, but my first thought was "Dutch landscape" when I saw the OP image. Not because of geographic location (I am aware of the difference between Dane and Dutch), but because of the horizon placement. Long time ago, probably in my high-school days, I learned about Dutch landscape as a compositional tool, i.e., where the horizon is placed in the lower 1/5 of the image instead of the more conventional ⅓.
