Richard Nixon Library, Yorba Linda, CA

Yorba Linda, CA   Intersection Yorba Linda BLVD & Imperial Highway

Yorba Linda, CA Sunset

Wow so sharp and colorful, very nice view

Very nice, may be taking the shot five minutes earlier would have a bit more light. Impressive.

I noticed that also in the other photo the top left corner is a bit dark ?

Yeah I am using the Vignette effect to darken the borders a bit.  I like the way it makes the middle of the photo pop a little.

Thanks,  the original photo was lighter at the bottom but I darkened it out for effect.   I pretty new to this so just trying things out to see what works!  Thanks for the advice.  I really appreciate it.

Appreciate it!  I am shooting in RAW and these photo's are edited quite a bit but I think they are coming out pretty good.  I have only been this about 3 weeks.  

Nice building. Have you applied vignetting to the image?- It's a bit dark at the edges

Nice shot - must be vignetting applied?  Not sure it adds anything to the impact of the image.

Nice sunset.

Thanks, yeah you are right The vignette on this one is a little heavy handed.  I usually apply it a little less so you can barley tell its there.  Still learning

Yeah I am using the Vignette effect to darken the borders a bit (maybe a bit to much?)   I like the way it makes the middle of the photo pop a little.

No worries - the bulk of the shot is great

It's not a technique I've tried. Maybe you are over-doing it a little.

I lightened it up a little.  I think it looks better.  Thanks!

Maybe. Do you have the original without any vignetting?

Lovely sky.

Remarkable shot.    Nice use of vignetting to make the library building pop out at you.  

Great shot!
