Marcel's photo's (3 Viewers)

Beautiful, Marcel!
 
Beautiful shots Marcel, my favorites are the ones with the fog, something about fog that is eye catching for me.
 
Oh those scenes look cold!

Beautiful, but cold!
 
Very nice photos Marcel, always like snooping around someone elses neighborhood. I'm also going to look at the RAW option. With my Canon, I have the option of taking a RAW and JPEG photo at the same time though I'm sure that would use a lot of memory.

Geo

It does George, but the pros out weigh the cons in my opinion. Especially when editing because the PS Elements will draw information from the raw file even when editing the jpg file. So you tend to get a much better job.
Just my two cents.
 
Haven't been able to snap much pictures, haven't even had time to be on the forum. But I was ordening my pictures and decided to use Darktable on some older JPG's in my library.
This was 2011 when I was working at the University of UCDavis, California for some weeks. Yosimite was at driving distance, what a great place to be. I envy Dave, Eric and the others to live in such an amazing place as California.

Would love to come again, but it won't be in the near future, I'm afraid. Trying to get to Boston again in May, though. Last two times I visited Chris, so if anybody would like to meet, I'm all ears :) Not that I don't want to go to Chris again, but maybe I shouldn't bother him every year?

Boston May 2014, did not do lens correction, I kinda like it this way :) :

Nice pics Marcel. I wonder what the Bostonians of 100 years ago would think, if they could see their city now ?!!
 
Both shots are winners!

And quite a presentation of contrast: one photo is in the serenity of the Sierra Nevada mountains and the other is set in the constant-motion Boston cityscape :thumbleft:

And I agree, California has some of the most picturesque areas on earth.
 
Thanks Dave and yes, that's why I put them together.

California is great. I enjoyed every minute of being there. The weather was great and the landscape was great. Would really love to go there again some time. This picture was a little hard to make, because of big contrast between light and shadow. For the ones who have never been there, the peak in the middle is called 'Half Dome' and dominates the Yosemite valley.

With the picture in Boston I remember the strange light effects when being in the city. On this particular spot there was a kind of golden light shining on the old town hall. I wanted to capture that. With the tall buildings it gives a sort of frog's perspective, enhanced by the lens distortion which makes the buildings on the side bend a little to the middle. Normally I would correct that distortion, but sometimes I leave it for effect.
