The new landscape

[dingo]

I'm not big on landscapes, probably because I hate getting there. All that walking just for a look.
Occasionally I come across something that catches my eye (or both) and I take a shot at taking a shot.
Trouble is, I take landscapes like I'm shooting the street.

Maybe that can be a thing.

Feel free to criticise. I have tough skin.

Quite like all of them dingo. I always enjoy the walk as much as the destination. If you can't find a few subjects on the way, you're not really trying.

[Sully]

They all work for me dingo ...... just a little on the small side to have a 'really good' look at them.

Seems like I can't display a large image from my iPad and I'm too lazy to get off the couch. You can click on the picture to get a bigger view. Can't the web manager adjust the settings so I don't need to go to the office? I'm really comfortable here.

[sejac]

Sorry. I'd like to help but the computer is just out of reach.

As this is the coldest day in Perth for 6 years, it's lucky that the heater is on full blast and the PC is within reach. And it does seem a little odd, that I'm having a coldie right now. Cheers!

Perhaps our web manager is also confined to the couch, we don't pay them much...but I doubt it's possible to adjust the settings anyway. I'm trapped at my desk because I'm too lazy to unplug and then carry my lappy to the couch so I feel your pain.

A delightful series of images dingo. I sometimes feel I'm looking into a great abyss when on the shoreline. A wild environment hostile to humans and yet it evokes a sense of calm and beauty somehow.

Good to see you have survived winter.

I noticed that the images are a bit small in this topic (and on the odd occasion, some of the other topics) so I thought a quick reminder of how to upload images might be a good thing.
On our top menu bar just click on the heading "UPLOADING IMAGES TO YOUR POSTS" as below and follow the instructions.
The method you chose is to the right of the page and shown as:


#1 - This is how to upload when you select the A method.


After clicking on "UPLOADING IMAGES TO YOUR POSTS", you will see "HOW TO POST USING THE ATTACHMENT MODE".


I do hope this helps, Cheers

I appreciate the assistance but 'A' doesn't come up when I'm on the iPad. The software isn't iPad friendly. Nor is it lazy old man on the couch friendly. Can someone bring me a cuppa and a biscuit. Monty Carlo please.

Are you using Tapatalk? It's an app that is designed to connect to forums.

People with iPads have used it here in the past.

[dingo]

I've given up using the ipad to load pictures. Now I need to wait for Christine to leave the house so I can lock myself into the office with the PC.

Where was I?
Oh, yes, landscapes. I've discovered I have more than I thought.
For those who are familiar with the tropics, we have 2 seasons, Wet and Dry. The wet brings on some strange and wonderful sensations, colours, actions and possibilities. It's hard enough to drive when the storms are overhead but you need to keep your eyes open and camera handy. This rather peculiar phenomenon appeared over Nightcliff Foreshore after the sun had disappeared.

Nightcliff is one of those places where the locals spend Last Light each day. It's restful and cool.

The classic landscape always had the sense of romance and mystery of far away places. There was a classic way of presenting landscapes, based on the format painters used. Pastoral scenes interrupted by a few animals, some water, a horizon of interest and a sky.

This all changed in the 20th century with the new landscape photographers that recorded the stark reality of the landscape scared by human intervention, cutting through the landscape like a knife.

Nothing wrong with the landscapes. Keep up the good work now that you have discovered yourself.
