Hello TL friends. This is a picture of Hoover Dam in central Ohio. This reservoir supplies central Columbus with much of its water supply. The structure is named after two brothers.

For this I used my 18-55mm lens with a Hoya Cir. Polarizer. I tried to get as much in this shot as I could. In PP I cropped slightly, framed and then resized for TL I hope you like this shot and as always thanks for viewing.

Regards,
Kevin

Hi Kevin,
Fantastic, clear, noiseless image of this wonderful landscape. I like very much its colours and the way of exposing the clouds on the blue sky. Perfect colours and contrast. Great job! TFS.

Hello Kevin
I like this composition with the dof leading us to the damn.
The colours are soft against the very vivid clouded sky giving this shot a bit of a mood.
WEll done

This is amazing! An HDR effect without the heavy-duty PP work!
Superb example of the rule of thirds and the perfect PoV

Hi Kevin,

Well executed use of the cir. polarizer. You have a very well exposed sky with enough saturation while minimizing any glare and reflections on the water. Nice puffy clouds with very good texture. Good capture.

TFS.

Nicely taken shot of this famous landmark! It was an incredible construction - and a terrible price in lives and hardship - but nice to see it from such a picturesque angle. The polariser did a good job here as did you and your lens.

Hi Kevin,
This is a "heck of a view" :-) Great composition excellent natural colours......but I have to be honest it laks of sharpnes in my opinion. The boats on the left are out of focus and so are the buildings in the distance. I have the impression you focused here on the foreground (teh water) and dispite the relative high f-stop (f/11) it coun't get the whole DOF sharp. Thsi is only my observation and I still think the view is gorgeious, well seen. Looking forward to your next posting!

Hi Kevin,

Love to see the colors and light that beautify the scene. The clouds are also making a good impact. A bit soft image, but the contrast makes the overall composition looks fine.

sort of surprise - Hoover dam... I didn't know that is any more than that one on Colorado river...
Shot is totally different about POV from classic one for this subject and I have to say it look interesting. Good perspective, and levels of exposure:)

Hello Kevin,
wow the Hoover Dam is really exciting. Very dramatic sky shot and excellent ripples set my blowing wind. i like the perspective created by the fencing aboce the banks.
Great composition and i guess the water level is very low at the time of the shot.

Regards,
Foozi

i like the clouds so much here in your pix and the details and contrast of the views, tfs ;-)
cheers.
