7. all love reflection .. and most recent reflection posts
and more can view from my flickr and search “reflection” ….
while I started my landscape, many of forum friends had share with me all the “guidelines”/”rules” e.g. 2/3 horizontal line …etc …. appreciate that and I learn fast from everyone inputs….
as for now, I trying to share as much that in my mind to my gang, friends, workshop participants ..etc …. all the “guidelines” but I always emphasize .. while we trying to think and follow the “guidelines” , we can still capture what we love to capture as snapshot or follow own preference as this will make us enjoy the photography … rather stand there without any shutter press even the view is great ….
e.g. of this … I can’t make any good decision while the light (cloud on left top) moving real fast and if I still move myself to look for better angle then I definite will miss this beautiful sky …. there are nothing at foreground too …. if I make foreground 2/3 ….. so I decide to capture the view to share with other rather just view this myself ….
nothing wrong but it look not too attractive overall … but I will still capture 50/50 if I feel I have no choice … 😀
How I clean my filter .. I normally need to use plain water to clean it and use some fiber optic clother …
but finally I found Lee filter do have their cleaning kit .. and I bought mine and have some extra for sale …
a place famous with rice terraces – Jatiluwih… a place I missed and will plan
to re-visit very soon in future …. an appetizer as our Guide (Agung claim) …
I love to see how the water filling up the paddy field and it will reflect whatever on
the sky 😀
