Hello from Almere (NL)

[Veneboer]

Greetings to you all!

I’m new here on this forum and hope to learn a lot from you all. I live in Almere (the Netherlands) together with my wife, son and daughter and Pip (our Old English Bulldog). I’m an amateur photographer (level beginner) with a little experience with a Nikon DSLR. I traded my Nikon camera for a Nex 7 a few weeks ago because this is so much lighter to carry around.

The photo’s below are the first pair I took on a short trip to Wales (UK) two weeks ago.

Greetings to you all.

Hi Rob,
welcome to the forum!

I love the two landscape photos you've posted.
N.B. in Wales the rain clouds never seem to be far away!

Cheers,
Paul

welcome mate, good shoot's

Wow, both very lovely landscapes. Welcome to TalkNEX!

Welcome! I really love the second one - So much to look at, and everywhere has awesome clarity. Was it shot in HDR mode? So much contrast going on. I just love it.

Hello and welcome Rob!

I also like the Carreg Cennen Castle shot very much...

 

[Veneboer]

Thank you all for the welcome!

@ dbmiller: It is not HDR. When I captured it (in Raw) I deliberately used a little underexposure to prevent the sky from being totally white in the picture. At home I cranked up the rest in ACDSee.

Greetings Rob V

A small (vacation-) contribution from Almere. Photo was taken last summer in North Wales (Holyhead);
