Hi Niek,
Lovely landscape... I like to see the sky dotted with white fluffy clouds!
Good foreground interest in the grass as contrasted to the fading mountain range in the distance...
I like the lines in the landscape, creating life in the composition!
Greetings,

I like the sweeping vista that you've captured here Niek. Good use of FG grasses to give it a bit more DOF.

Nice sharp image Niek. Looks like it would have been a perfect candidate for a grad ND filter.

It's odd that "Nevada City" and "Virginia City" were also important gold/silver mining area towns in California and Nevada. Actually "Nevada City" is in California and "Virginia City" is in Nevada. Both are interesting historical towns to visit today.

Thanks for sharing your trip. This is fun.

Hi Niek,
Nice landscape with many different planes that invite to go ahead to the mountain. Good document of the place.

Halo Niek,
Zeer mooi landschap, met goede composite, voorgrond , midden en achtergrond. Enige opmerking : de wolken zijn een beetje overbelicht.
Well done and TFS

Hoi Niek,

De diepte in deze foto is echt prachtig en de scherpte ook. Zoals Evelynn schrijft had je de overbelichte wolken kunnen voorkomen met een grad grey filter. Verder is het echt een hele mooie foto die het landschap realistisch doet overkomen. Well done & TFS!

Regards,
Pieter

I like the multilayered aspect of this landscape shot. Lots of lines and textures here, nicely composed. You may not think it's perfect, but what landscape ever is?
Well done TFS

Great shot Niek, you too have a good foreground as well. It really does a give a good impression of the area. You have mangaed to get foreground, mid ground and far distance into one shot, usually one or the other is missing in mos people's shots. I love the way the roads snake through the mid ground, they add to the detail. It is also nicely divided into 3rds.

There is also no reason (other than orientation which would be challenging) as to why you can't use both the CP and the grey grad/garduated ND filter at the same time - though a tripod and timer/switch would probably be best.

Did you take it in RAW? If you did, I can give you some very easy instructions to resolve the OE on the clouds...for future reference - its all done from the single RAW using the Canon software.

Hi Niek,
first of all thank you very much for responding to my shot. I really appreciate it as I would say you are an advance person in this TN. I also have read your responses to others especially in Markus posts. Im a beginner and your suspects might be true also. But what Mr Ivan Kruys had elaborated give me a good possible answer. Many of my birds shots were not sent because of this problem, the phenomena of using 2X converter.
Regarding your shot here, it is very lovely low and wide angle shot which depict the place very well. the dramatic sky and superbs wide clarity make this landscape a very impressive and a pleasant one.

Regards,
Foozi
