A new set of landscape photographs. And might I mention my Landscapes from Daily Mail?

I’d swear that the image of the Trango Towers in Pakistan is straight out of “The Lord of the Rings”!

Once again, kudos to you for having both a discerning eye for magnificent images and then sharing them. Thank you!

If you ever get a photographic ping list going may I request to be on it.

A suggestion to all Freepers looking at this article, I highly suggest checking out the rest of the images at the Daily Mail, and if you haven’t seen the pictures at the link for the panoramas, by all means, do do. One thing about the images at the daily mail is that they are cropped to fit in the web page. To see the whole image, at least in Waterfox, (Firefox), I right click and select “View Background Image”

Just a few thoughts. The images at the Daily Mail have a horizontal resolution of 1920 pixels. Size makes a huge difference and these images are even more spectacular when viewed on a large flat-screen in 1080p or even scaled up to 4k. Many, if not a majority of images displayed in public suffer from two major problems, one, not having room to breathe and the other, poor lighting. Imagine looking at any of these images in a 12” frame versus a 40” frame. I always carry a tactical flashlight and urge everyone to try an experiment. Take any photograph (or painted image) and hit it with the high-beam from about 1 to 2 feet away. The colors absolutely pop and a well made image takes on an almost three dimensional look.

Finally, let me share back to you one of my favorite landscape photographers. I had the privilege to see “Robert Turner: Rare Places in a Rare Light, Cleveland Museum of Natural History” some 11 years ago. You can find his web page here... http://robertturnerphoto.com/gallery/

For a look at how his images look in frames on walls look at this page... http://robertturnerphoto.com/exhibits/
