Hi vaughan!

Very pretty shot! But when you post in the critique section, you really need to post a question about what you want critiqued or those who try to help will have to write a book to try and answer any possible question. Otherwise you will just get "that's a nice photo" comments, which are really what the "share your shots" section is for.

Also, EXIF data is very important. EXIF includes your shutter speed, aperture, and ISO among other things. Even if you shoot in Auto mode, we still need this info. You can usually get a pictures info from the software that came with your camera or from Photoshop, etc. There are freebee programs out there that can get it as well.

Take a look at the critique forum rules to see what is needed to post in the critique section. If you would prefer to just receive comments about your images, feel free to post them in the landscape "share your shots" (SYS) section.

Hope that helps and I look forward to seeing more of your work!

Another beautiful shot! As navcom said, this one probably is a better fit for the "share your shots" section. Not much to critique about this capture other than it is well composed and the lighting is fantastic.

It's a lovely scene, and you thought well to capture it.

The only thing I'd say, and I think it's very important, is that if you're stitching images together (and I humbly say I know a lot about that), you really need to not shoot on auto. It's very obvious where the stitching is because of the fact your camera changed exposures from shot to shot. Even though PS did a decent job of blending, it's still very obvious.

I'm not saying you need to know about full manual settings, but here's a trick. Take a photo in full auto. If it's exposed well, look at and write down the Shutter Speed and Aperture. Then go to Manual mode and copy those settings and take all the panoramic shots with those settings. This way, you still let the auto functions do their job, but you ensured the settings stayed the same over several shots to ensure better continuity in your shots.

I hope this helps next time this is sprung on you.
Ciao,
Al
