Thanks Ronnie.Donnarae... more to come. Soon I will write an article on what it was like to participate in this Bryan Peterson workshop. For the time being, you will find a couple more in the Travel / France section of the photo galleries.
Take care. #1518

jim, How lucky you are. BRYAN PETERSON is a true color master and I would LOVE to hear about that. I love your use of the 'story telling' aperture in these two photos. Thank you and GREAT JOB. donnarae #1546Shirley D. Cross-Taylor October 16, 2001

Great composition, and I love the lines as they fade to horizon. the colors are so soft and so alive as well. I think I can smell the lavender.Jim Miotke My Courses May 26, 2019
Sorry it took so long, Lisa, but thank you very much for your kind comments. #27848Dave Tilley May 26, 2019
Hello there. I know that it is not wise for the tail to wag the dog, but here goes. I disagree with some the of comments regarding your photo.Here's why...The image doesn't seem to have a clean Histogram. There isn't enough contrast in the 1/4 tones and the shadows. Also, the image seems to have a slight yellow cast.
Here is my version....please don't think badly of my thoughts. I'm just challenging the teacher like any good student would #48269

Hi Jim, Didn't Brian loan you a special filter for this image? #48275Diana R. Lemieux October 04, 2005
The composition is amazing! #1916283Jim Miotke My Courses October 04, 2005
Thanks very much! I appreciate that.Hi Donnarae, no Bryan led me right to the location but gave me no filter, no protection from the bees, no nothing.
Actually, though, this was the trip where I met Susan and Neil Silverman, and I remember Neil showing me the blue/gold polarizer during this same trip. I showed one image shot with this warming polarizer at the recent Summit. It's one of those filters that can all-too-easily be abused but if you restrain yourself from overdoing it, the blue/gold polarizer can be a great tool.
Thanks again! #1918394
