New guy here, second post. Didn't get run outa town with the first, so I thought I'd post some pictures for a little feedback. My goal is to become a better photographer. It was a passion in the 80s (35mm color and B&W), but many other things, both good and bad, got in the way for a number of years. I just started getting more passionate about it and am enjoying the learning process and believing I might have an eye. With your help, maybe I can develop a talent.
These were all taken in the real Northern California - Plumas County - sometimes referred to as Feather River Country. All were taken with a Nikon D5300 and one of 2 lenses, a Nikkor 16.0-85.0 mm f/3.5-5.6 or a 70.0-300.0 mm f/4.5-5.6. I use Lightroom for post processing and Corel Paintshop Pro X6 to add a watermark, resizing and saving to JPG.

Thanks,
Jim

Maybe for #3, blue can be desaturated a bit. Cheers!
Yeah, I see what you mean. That is a little TOO blue, isn't it.
Hey, I'm headed down to your area in a couple of days. Wave at the guy on a Segway. Oh wait, LOTS of Segs down there. Well, wave anyway.

wel effe wennen aan de kleuren.
grt,boco.
I like #1 and #3, but I do find the overall color to be off. Do you have a calibrated monitor?
When you get to San Jose let me know, maybe we can have a mini meet up.

Thanks Joel, looking forward to sharing more. DGrin seems like a very friendly place to spend time.
Sorry, boco, I don't speak Dutch and Google doesn't translate some of what you said very well. Glad you commented though.
No, Sam, I don't have a calibrated monitor. It wasn't until just recently that I decided to jump in the deep end of photography again. I am in the process of building a new PC that will handle these really large RAW files, process faster with Lightroom, maybe try Photoshop. I realize a much better monitor is going to be important after that. This is one helluva expensive hobby. :uhoh
A mini meet-up sounds good. I'm a regular coffee kinda guy. You?

It's cheaper than racing cars, horses, or drugs.
