What is wrong with me? This month and next I am trying to concentrate on landscapes and no matter what I do I can't seem to compose anything. So frustrating. I am inspired by Lars Van de Goor and his photos are really simple but very compelling. Something anyone would want to hang on their...

Rural New Zealand with the ladies busy making tomorrow's milk

The idea behind taking this shot was to include it in my collection of background shots for use later on in PS. I don't do much by way of changing photos but have seen some good results where the background has been appropriately changed. Be a shame not to be able to use it.

Just for you cowboy ...

This lens is not too shabby at all.

Great owl shots @Friggs Brad ( @Ironwood ) a definite improvement. I had no idea they were so green. But then I don't know much anyway. :)

I really need to master LightRooms cataloging,keywording, rating and search functions Not to mention the "Import" presets etc. to make my life easier I must do it ... I need to do it ... I have the time to do it ... But I don't feel like doing it right now!

I went back and increased exposure on the first one.

I went out later this afternoon when the light was better and took a few more test shots. I am very, very happy with this lens at this stage and think my landscaping life has taken a turn for the better. Charlie @RocketCowboy you may want to see these to give you an indication of this lenses...

Juat got this lens and as @RocketCowboy is clearly bored I thought i would post some test shots. But first ... Wonderfully built - almost like Bo Derek but then its hard to beat 10 (even in stops) This thing is fast! Like a roadrunner ....! and smooth ... No apologies for the shots as it...

In this photo the left half of the photo is in monochrome - thought I would try something a bit different.

Now this was a bit of a failure. I was taking a diagonal photo but when viewed it looks like she is lying down when she is in fact standing. oh well I still kinda like it...

I am going to have fun processing these photos. Here is a black and white. Have yet to do the colour and i think it will be even better.

My daughter and son-in-law came to visit today just so I could shoot them. Took heaps of photos; mostly with my new nifty fifty and boy is it a good little lens. The first two of many to come off the block.

it (the 60mm) will be awesome for portraits @RON. I now have a bunch of portrait lenses: Nikon 35mm 1.8, the Nikon 50mm 1.8 and the Tamron 90mm f2.8 macro. I am hoping to add the Sigma 50-150 f2.8 to my arsenal next week and would even use that for the compression and soft creamy smooth bokeh...

Just got back from work and the sun is a glorious golden colour. About an hour out from sunset and it is going to be a brilliant one and yet ... I just don't feel motivated enough to get the camera and tripod out and go and shoot something spectacular. Sure it will be a bit cold out there...

thanks @RON I think both her and her mother will like it. Hope so as mother has awesome rooms for hire with this amazing light. In a nutshell I have found the perfect studio. :)
