Hi Xastoul,

Couple of the most useful sites I've found over past year, for tutorials:

• [url="http://www.cambridgeincolour.com/tutorials.htm"]Tutorials at Cambridge in Colour[/url]
• [url="http://www.luminous-landscape.com/index.shtml"]Luminous Landscape[/url]

Enjoy!

Thank a lot Ian! I been reading a lot this morning and I don't know if wanna post those image anymore . Plus I just found out that there an update on my Camera firmware that was probably causing me some problem. Not to put all my issue in the firmware.... I'll read a bit more and I'll go take the same shots I took at the beginning of the week and see how different they are... a lot I hope.

Voila.

It is better. Didn' change the firmware yet. I still have problem with my 18-55, but I got nice one from my 50 ( not he best to take a landscape but it's better than nothing). I still have work to do on my technique and all but I can see improvement.



Thank again Ian!







Edit: I had some problem with the noise reduction.... couldn't figure out how to leave tombstones and grass as they are and reduce noise everywhere else.....

I think I like it, Xastoul, though I can't figure out how to see whole image at once, so hard to tell re composition, though this shows detail well

Perhaps it would be better to cut the sky more so that the cables on the top-left corner do not show up.



Frank

I thought about that, and I tried to remove them with Photoshop yesterday evening. It look like I'm not that good in this...

I took couple of shots without them in, but it was with my 18-55 and the detail were not that good.

Here the cropped one. Thank Frank for pointing it out. I though first that cropping would make it look weird by screwing the height/Width ratio.



any other advice/critic? I know I'm far from being a good photograph, but I'm working on it. I won't start crying if you tell me that I should delete it and restart from the start...
