 Chocorua Reflection and Introduction
Hello all,

I would like to introduce myself. My name is Scott and I just signed up officially today with NENP. I shoot primarily with a Nikon D300 and have a D200 for a back up. I use a MacBook Pro linked to a 30"HP monitor. I primarily use Adobe Lightroom and sometimes Photoshop itself. I always shoot in RAW and still have much to learn(especially flash). I have learned much from the great photographers here. I will try to contribute to posts here when I can.

I went to the White Mountains this weekend and caught this reflection at Chocorua Lake. I managed to photograph some good lupine fields and Upper Falls, too, in Bretton Woods.

Thanks again

Hi Scott,

Glad to see your 'first image' on here. This is a great shot...I love the sweeping diagnals in the foreground reflection...they reallly lead you into the frame. They whites in the sky are a bit hot, but well handled. Not much you can do with those summer puffy clouds getting blown out anyway. If I can find one nit...I'd adjust the slight clockwise rotation.

I still have an evening shoot with you on the radar...I'll contact you when it looks like a free night or two is coming...

Welcome :toast:

Hi Scott!! Welcome to the forum!!! This scene is really beautiful...almost doesn't look real. You've captured it nicely. Jim did point out the nits so I won't need to. :wink: Looking forward to more posts and comments.
