I've wanted to photograph a field of lavender for some some time and I got the chance last week. This is a commercially grown field in the Cotwolds, Uk.
If the last thing you remember hearing is somebody yelling 'CLEAR!!!', assume you've had a problem!!
a77, a700, a200, Minolta 8000i, NEX C3, NEX 5N and more lenses than my wife suspects!
A nice set John - phew it looks hot! I love those deep blue skies and fluffy clouds, with the arid landscapes. I really like the shadows over the hills in the second one.
Nex 5, Nex 6 (IR), A7M2, A99 and a bunch of lenses.
Here is a small brook that I often visit. At this point it flows through thick woodland in a steep sided valley. This was a cloudy day which meant I wasn't too plagued with huge dynamic range between bright sunlight on water and shady woods. I like the colours the the Polariser drew out. It may be a tad over-cooked perhaps?
Thanks for the cool relief Andy!
I like the composition, and it may be a bit overcooked... But.. I've been guilty of over-using the clarity slider myself....

Great photo with the various colors of blue. There are lavender fields also in my home country (Hungary) close to Tihany, but I always missed the opportunity to take photos.
Andy, that lavender field is stunning. I'd love to see a field like that in person some day. The brook shot is nice as well.
John, I like the shots you've shared of Big Bend. It's on my list of places to visit. Hopefully, I'll make it there someday.
I've been wanting to try a photograph of moving water at night for some time. With the full moon coming up as I was getting ready to leave the mountains last night, I decided to give it a go. I hiked back into this waterfall after sundown and took several shots. This particular one was 10 minutes, iso 200, f/8, at 11mm with the Tokina 11-16.
Just fantastic the_hefay. I wonder if you had 10 1min exposures stacked would have given you
stars without trails. Or a longer exposure where the trails become part of the scene
conveying motion. Just curious. Did I say how fantastic the capture was?
Thanks guys. I'm sure there are different ways to stack photos. One way in which stacking is used to create star trails. Whether or not there is a way to stack and not have star trails, I'm not sure. As far as a longer exposure goes, I was running out of time and still needed to hike back out and make the 60 min. drive back home. I forgot two things on this little hike. One was my intervalometer so, I was either counting to myself (which got tedious for longer exposures) or just guessing on exposure times. I also would like to go back with the intervalometer and a couple of lanterns during a new moon and try to get a time-lapse video. The other item I forgot was a flashlight to aid in getting the focus set. All in all it was an enjoyable evening.
