Yet more from my vacation, and perfect for this sunset kind of theme. I rather like how some of these turned out.
  • Which is better? Popup LinkRowing from Afar or Popup Linkthe cropped version. I like the cropped one better. My only complaint is the amount of noise in the picture. That of irritates me. I had the ISO setting at 400, which might be the problem. I should have dropped it down to 200, and went for a slower shutter speed, hell I did have the tripod (I think).
  • Popup LinkRowing in the sunlight.
  • Popup LinkThis one was luck. I was trying to set this up right, but wound up fussing with the camera at the key moment, so the sky is not the right color.

  • I like the cropped version...
    It looks more balanced to me and really helps focus my attention on the subject of the photograpy. :) Sean

  • That was pretty much my thought as well...
    I may re-crop it though. I just kind of sighted it in photoshop while giving no real though to how things lined up in the final pic.

    This would make a pretty good print actually.

  • Am in agreement
    I would have to say cropped as well. I was afraid that in the cropped version, you were goin to take away from the meaning of "a little person in the big scheme of things," "we're all meaningless in the end" kind of philosophy. But the feel wasn't compromised...good comp!

  • yeah, cropped
    ...but I really like the others, too, especially the last one, which I keep clicking on. I especially like the clouds low on the mountains in the background. Aren't photos taken during the "Magic Hour" great?

  • I hate to disagree, but...
    I think "rowing from afar" is a better picture, or at least a more interesting picture because at first I don't notice the figure, then I see him. So there's that pop of recognition like in a haiku, but I also like it because it shows the relationship of humans and nature in a more interesting way. Nature seems pretty awesome here, which is why the rower is out there in the first place, I would guess.
