Desert Museum

Good composition on the first and second shot.

I'd try to correct the tilted level on pics 3 and 4 though.

Nice colors, nice exposure and contrast. Good dynamic pictures overall. Nice job!

Keep posting.

If photography can be considered like painting, then I'm still at the preschool "paint with your fingers" level.

Very nice! Great exposure/colors. Really like the dove.

The ASDM is a great place. My wife and I try to get down there a few times a year.
Thanks for sharing.

tilted horizons, tilted horizons everywhere.......

Thanks for the C & C. Now what do I do to fix the landscapes? If there are different planes and angles in a scene, which one do you use?

For me it is the distant mountains that stand out in 3,4 and 6. 2 has some but isn't as dominant. You could draw the line at the base of the mountains. Of course the more tilted the more the picture will have to be cropped which may change what you had originally intended.

I have to put a conscious effort into making sure I'm level with the horizon when shooting landscapes. Otherwise I'm straightening with NX2 afterward. I usually shoot a little wide then crop anyways.

I've visited that museum quite a few times. I'm usually in the Hummingbird Pavilion most of the time.

hey sorry for the late reply, i understand the problem with handing conflicting planes in an image, as a rule of thumb the horizon should ALWAYS be level (unless ur doing something dynamic by tilting it, theres always a way to break a rule).

the other plane my be slanted, but thats less of a problem than the horizon being slanted. sometimes it helps to be perpendicular to the scene, i dont know the actual physics/visual proporties of it well enough to explain, but sometimes when im taking a picture of a scene from an angle, different planes appear skewed. i dunno if that makes sense but i hope you get what im trying to say
