hell yes, Alex thread! I've only been on /p/ a few times this year but I hit it right today.
>>2695719I really love this one. It would look so good as a huge print. Your framing of that underwater pier or boat ramp is perfect.
>>2695727This is really great too, you're really killing these pano shots. Has it been a challenge finding the right places for your new pano camera?
>>2695750What an incredible location. Where is this?
>>2695774I remember seeing this one on Facebook, and it's an incredible photo. But for once the color feels a little off to me, in the yellow and greens. Not that I'm saying it should be realistic to life, your gift at pulling out the strength of film colors is one of your great strengths, but it just feels off here.
>>2695774> I also have an eBook on photographing the plains where I cover some tips on composition on my website. I plan on expanding that book a bit this winter when things slow down and I'll be giving all previous purchasers a free copy of the revised one.I bought Alex's book, and it's very well written with a lot of useful information. I knew it'd have valuable information just because Alex's a talented and experienced photographer, but he's actually a good writer as well, so it's presented very well.
I do have one constructive criticism of the book though, since you are going to be revising it. When you designed the layout, it's clear you wanted it to be as readable as possible on a computer, which makes sense since you released it as a pdf e-book to make it affordable for people.
However the downside, is that it comes across looking more like a powerpoint presentation, another format designed for computer screen readability, which makes the book feel a little "cheap". It might seem counter-intuitive, but I think if the layout was more like real coffee table book, with smaller text, it would just feel more expensive and more like a "real" book, even if that impacted the readability a little.
