You ought to keep the horzontal plane straight for the last 2 pictures.

Sorry about the windmills being tilted. They were shot at an angle on a bridge overlooking the village with a focal length of about 300mm (35mm equivalent). That's the best that I can do.

That's why in taking a good photo, only 50% has been completed by pressing the shutter. The other 50% is post process. If you think it's not good enough, and you know people will notice it, correct it before posting up into this forum. It's too easy to correct an angle, isn't it?

From the way I see it, post process is only 25% max of making a great picture. People who depends too much on post processing just don't make the cut of being a good photographer. Do you see film photographers depending on post processing but can also produce great pictures?

From the way I see it, not all photos must be aligned horizontally. It all depends on how the picture is presented. For the windmills' case, I personally think there is no problem with presenting the windmills in that manner. Where's the creativity when all landscape pictures that you take are horizontally aligned?

well, it is landscape n if you follow the norm
then nothing so special about the windmill already...
CompMac, nice photo

CompMac, maybe time for u to invest in CPL?
might be better if you can get blue sky? (i mean more blue)

personally likeStonehenge

Thanks for the comment aba9785. Yea, time to buy a CPL and retake all the Europe shots.

Stonehenge is always a wonderful place to go and visit.

Here is a picture of a lakeside hill in Interlaken, Switzerland.

this photos is just pretty... love how the clouds are formed... you got use wide angle lens har?

Not really wide wide my camera. That shot is at its widest of 38mm (35mm equivalent). Just bought a CPL. Will retake UK cloud pictures when the weather is nice.

then ill be waiting...

Amsterdam, The Netherlands

nice pic of amstedam...hmm...why i didnt see this part when i went there... post more...2 not enough

More Amsterdam, The Netherlands photos.

The National Monument


Red Light District in the day. The pink elephant to Amsterdam is what the white bunny is to USA.


The flower market. Thousands of flower buds and seeds for sale throughout the street.


Coffeeshops. Not like our typical kopitiams. The only public legal place in Amsterdam to get your fix of Spacecakes and any type of marijuana smokes and food.


Hope you like this small tour of Amsterdam. I will travel there again end of this month and hope to capture more of Amsterdam on photos than I did the last time.

Coming soon will be more pictures of Switzerland. Thanks for viewing.

e..no offence...i think u use the wrong metering/photo metry?
the last n 2nd last like not so sharp?
or ISO value too low?

travel photography is not easy as it seems..if normal walk- walk and point shoot is easy, but to capture a scenery that lasts forever in memory is never easy...

I don't think there is a thing like ISO value too low. The lower ISO value that you can use will be the better, right? Only bump up the ISO as the last resort for my case. I'm already using multi-metering for these pictures. Using spot will be worse and will blowout the sky even more.

Agree with diwant. The last 4 pictures are only normal walk-walk travel shots. The 2 previous ones are better composed and captured as I have the time and no one was in the way. There was also that "feeling" when composing the shots.

Although the pics might have lack of some emotions, however its nice to see something different from what we have here in asia. Thanks for the pics, and hope for more sight seing and cultural pics from Europe.

Below are more pictures from Switzerland.

An Interlaken hotel


Glacier capped mountains








"Botak" mountains






Lakeside town


Thanks for viewing.

nice....
kinda refreshing...and relax after viewing the photos

Lakeside town <--maybe u need to crop a bit? (the roofs)

Difficult to crop the bottom roof as cropping that will reveal another roof and it will never end until the whole town is cropped off.

A closer view of a glacier capped mountain. This picture was taken at about 2500m above sea level with outside temperature of 9 degrees Celsius. The road where this picture was taken is called Sustenstrasse in Switzerland.
