Trying to get fancy...

Postby BigTruck » Mon Dec 29, 2008 7:49 pm

Tried my hand at getting fancy, looking for a good landmark with a natural frame around it...here's a few that I thought worked out.  Gave up on 1024 size, had to reduce them all to 800 to get them to compress decently lol.  (at 1024 wide the smallest I could get them was 346K)

Half Dome (one of my favorites in High Res)

Upper and Lower Yosemite Falls through the Redwoods

Plenty of air traffic over the area

Great looking pictures, better they look really nice un-compressed. I wish I had mountains like those around me... :)

3rd, 4th and last one look great! In the other one the framing is a tad bit big, although it doesnt look bad in anyway!
