California Landscapes

[Fast Eddie]

A few photos from our recent trip to california. We spent a few days in San Francisco, Sonoma County, Yosemite area, Monterey. Fantastic, but too short.

Re: California Landscapes

Superb set Eddie, all are eye catching but for me especially the simplicity of the tones in the Yosemite Sunset.
Thanks for sharing these

Re: California Landscapes

Nice varied selection. The Yosemite sunset gets my vote.

Re: California Landscapes

They are all very nice, but #1 to me is superb.

Re: California Landscapes

Thanks everyone.

The sunset one is like nothing I've taken before so am really chuffed it's gone down well.

Barr1e, thanks, that was a 3 shot handheld pano at our 3rd vinyard of the day.

Re: California Landscapes

Looking again at these I am now very taken with the last shot.
The low viewpoint and the clarity of the rocks makes the shot exciting

Re: California Landscapes

These are all excellent, Eddie - a super set and all have their individual appeal.

10/10!

Re: California Landscapes

I do like the alternative PP of the ocean and the lake and reflections is very nice

[Pops]

Re: California Landscapes

The Tenaya Lake shot is breathtaking

Re: California Landscapes

The Tenaya Lake shot is breathtaking

I agree with Pops - I also really like both versions of the Pacific waves, but particularly the drama created by boosting the colours in the re-edited shot
