This was a fluke shot taken going 110km down the highway from Whistler to Vancouver.

Where are all the pics guys?? I went to Taos New Mexico last weekend. I took a bunch of shots at the Rio Grande Gorge Bridge. brad industry posted:I think what is interesting to me about these is how they lose the sense of scale and perspective with the dark skies. I would pursue it more along those lines when you're shooting, rather than as an after-the-fact processing thing. Whitezombi fucked around with this message at 00:46 on Aug 20, 2009 |

Not really on par with the rest of the thread, but couple of shots from last weekend:

I like the long-exposure look of clouds "streaking" through the sky: Oh hell, I guess I just favor long exposures in general: (an island in over-exposed moonlight) In general, how do you all feel about non-standard-sized openings in mats, when you print your photos? I am usually too lazy to cut my own mats, but I really hate the standard 8x10 format; I prefer 8x12.

This is not particular to landscapes, but if I print something that I really care about I crop it exactly how I want it, and mat and frame to fit that. Now if I'm giving away some nice shots of various things to relatives and whatnot, I generally just do 8x10 or 11x14 or something standard... but for my personal stuff that I want "right" I just suck it up and get a custom mat and an expensive right sized frame.

On that note you can normally just get a larger frame and then get/cut a custom matte to fit your photo. Custom mattes are normally pretty cheap.

I'd recommend just cutting your own mats. The few mats you have to throw out because you screw them up won't outweigh the cost savings of doing it yourself. It's really not that hard with a good metal ruler or square angle, a pencil and a bevel cutter.

Crosspost from PAD. First of the Hurricane Bill photos gathered over the last few days. Managed to get by without losing any shingles or siding so I'm a pretty happy camper.

This weekend I decided to drive 4 hours so I could wake up at 4am the next day and climb a drat hill. At least something good came out of it (I hope )

I'd say it was definitely worth the effort.

You can see sunflower fields from the highway but have to take a half hour of dirt farm roads to find a decent vantage point. Oh and be willing to stand on the roof of your car.

SiB posted:If you don't mind, can you share your editing you did to that sunflower shot? Sure. I used an antique lightroom preset ( from here http://www.camielschoonens.nl/journal/photography/lightroom-presets/), then cropped square, cranked up the black level to 35, bumped the exposure around a stop and a half to get the mid tones where I wanted them, then used highlight recovery to get back some detail in the sky, then just a bit of sharpening.

You've probably mentioned this before, but what kind of glass are you running for most of these shots? I really like your landscape work.

All of these were shot with the Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS kit lens. I'm replacing it tomorrow with the Tamron 17-50 2.8 - can't wait!

I think it's a pretty decent lens for the price. I just needed something faster. I'm going to get a 10-22 next.

The range is awesome and it is REALLY wide but it does get some pretty crazy distortion and for it to be reasonably sharp you need to stop down to atleast f8 which you are probably going to be doing for landscapes anyways.

I think I might be doing it wrong. lately I prefer to use my 85mm on landscapes and my 20mm on portraits.

There's some really phenomenal work in this thread, especially the stuff on this page from 8th-samurai and MyFrosty! 8th-samurai posted:I think I might be doing it wrong. lately I prefer to use my 85mm on landscapes and my 20mm on portraits. Your first instinct with a landscape is to go wide, but it's pretty challenging to fill a frame that big and still have an interesting composition. Using a telephoto to pick out and isolate the interesting stuff is where it's at. When I use my 12-24, it's usually to get a bunch of poo poo that's close up (as in, several feet away).

At night, the ridge of the mountain is just completely on fire; the fire outlines the shape of the mountain, which is pretty beautiful in its own eerie way, despite its endless rampage...

Maybe it's because I see cornfields a lot, but I don't feel as if there is anything interesting going on in these.

These are shot at the wrong time of day, it looks like mid day sun which is very unflattering. Try to shoot around sunrise or sunset, the light will be softer and have a nice colour. Alternatively you can wait for a stormy overcast day and get some nice storm clouds.
