Hi everyone,

So... my site does not fit one bill, but more than not, it is about nature photography.

There are still updates being made to the site - in the meantime, please do provide feedback on some of the shots. Please also check out the DC and People sections.

Thanks,

Navin

Hi Navin and welcome!

You'll find that people are much more open to providing feedback if you take just a quick few seconds to post a few example of your work in your post itself. If you need any help with that we have a tutorial here (http://dgrin.smugmug.com/gallery/1083138). That way we can see two or three of your best photos and if you provide a link to your site, we can go see more. Asking us to go through all of your galleries is a big request!

If you'd like to get some feedback on people and portrait photos that you've taken, we can move this to the People forum for ya. :thumb

Wow really awesome! Incredible lightning shot in particular :huh

[nazquel]

Thanks very much :)

Here's a couple I took last week as we got a beautiful covering of snowfall over the barren trees. It was much less disruptive than last weekend's snowfall...

impressive shots.. but the watermark needs to be either translucent or changed to something.. it is taking away from a shot.

Wow, some great images you've got. :clap

Nice shots.

For the "DC-Snowstorm-2" shot, have you tried cropping it for more of a pano feel? The blue sky at the top of the picture can be sliced off along with some of the darkness along the bottom, leaving a shot that's not quite a panoramic, but ends up looking pretty cool too.

The current shot is good – I'm not complaining - just suggesting you take a look at an alternate view of it. I think you might like the results. It changes the lighting/mood of the shot (darkens it all a bit by removing the bright blue sky).

I did a quick trial of that, cropping above the upper rays of the sun (though I suppose you could go right through the middle of the sun, I like keeping object complete when possible). For the lower crop, I set it so that the angled line between the lower edge of the snow and the darkness (road? railroad tracks?) below it met at the lower left corner.

I like sunset/evening/morning shots to have a pano feel to them (just a weird personal bias) so when I see that kind of shot in a normal photo size, I wonder what it would look like as a pano (or almost pano) perspective…
