Been a long time since I've cruised this thread, here are some of my favorites from the past two or so years, pretty much in chronological order:

I was at cape spear last summer and there were 15-20ft swells rolling in, it was unbelievable

Yeah it can be really cool watching the huge slabs crash on the rocks. I wish it formed a surf able wave because the spot really picks up the swell.
 
Just got back from a few months in Antarctica and am starting to go through all my photos, here's a few.

the light in the canyon at this hour made the background look like a 50's movie set of the grand canyon, pretty happy with how it turned out

I'm heading to NYC at the end of May, so super pumped on hopefully getting some solid shots there. I definitely have limited experience in shooting street photography, so I may have to start playing around in my own city (Calgary) a bit first, but still. It's going to be awesome.
 
Finally got some film developed, sorry its so many. Portra 160, Olympus OM-1n

criticisms are greatly appreciated, tear them apart. Specifically trying out some color correction stuff, I'm not gonna claim to know what portra is supposed to look like so I was really just trying to get rid of some awful cyan cast.
 
Found an old shot I liked from the archives and then a few decent ones from this past weekend.

Just because you shot some film doesn't mean you have to post every shot that came out off the roll

Care to elaborate? Any you especially disliked?

I realize now how badly I fucked up trying to color correct and have been learning how to read the histograms.

Unless you're going for the artistic effect, it's especially important to not underexpose a lot of film types since the blacks easily get washed out. I'm looking at that first photo in particular. Other than that, the last one is the only one that's somewhat interesting imo. The others lack a good subject or background. The colors are cool which gives it a nice feel but the composure could use work. Try to think about what exactly you're shooting (your subject) and then a way to place it against the background in a pleasing way. If I were shooting that building, I'd get closer and work those perspective lines. The road is just negative space which isn't helping. The sky on the other hand really works as negative space since the color contrasts the green of the building nicely.

3, 4, 5, and 6 could do without the trees and stuff in the foreground. That shit's boring and isn't what you were trying to focus on, was it? Remember that for landscapes, your subject usually is your background. Think about leading the focus into the more interesting part of the landscape with lines, colors, symmetry, etc. When you put a boring tree or log in the foreground, it sucks the attention away from what you're actually trying to shoot - the landscape. If you're trying to just add a little spice to the photo, you could experiment with leaving the foreground out of focus or use it to frame the background. I could see that's what you were going for in 6, no? Either way, you're going in the right direction in that one.

And as far as coloring, just keep working at it and you'll only get better at adding the feel/corrections you want. It just takes practice.

Hope this helps!
 
Here's a few from the winter...got lightroom a few months ago, sometimes go overboard with the editing, but fun to get funky sometimes, like playing with colors. Been trying to work on composition. Also it's been a pretty gray winter here in Montana, so trying to work with low light is always fun...
