... red filter? I like them. Especially the first, if it weren't bisected perfectly I'd like it more.

Dread Head posted:It has been raining a lot. Moss gives such nice shadow effects; it's like a scaled-down version of grass on a hill. Reminds me of the creeks where I live, except the closest ones are so full of leaves and debris due to not being wide that it's too chaotic to take a good photo. Is the water in your shots a combination of a polarizing filter and long exposure, or do you do something else with it? I've been wondering what a multi-exposed shot with and without a polarizer would look like. atomicthumbs fucked around with this message at 10:27 on Jan 16, 2011 |

Yeah, I think that was a result of transferring that image from my (ex) Photoshelter account to my Flickr account. I didn't realize it was a permanent part of the image.

atomicthumbs posted:Moss gives such nice shadow effects; it's like a scaled-down version of grass on a hill. That shot was just a single exposure, I don't use a polarizer since a lot of my stuff is shot super wide and polarizers don't work as well super side (polarization is uneven). I would imagine that a combination of a polarizer would knock most of the reflections in the water down and you would be able to see though it a bit more.

Went up to Scotland for a weekend in October and had a day of astoundingly hot and sunny weather; managed to get a few shots of the landscape between Glasgow and Fort William. It was so sunny in fact I could use an infra-red filter without a tripod: Around Ben Nevis & Glen Coe 3 by Scatterfold, on Flickr  Around Ben Nevis & Glen Coe 11 by Scatterfold, on Flickr  Around Ben Nevis & Glen Coe 7 by Scatterfold, on Flickr

Holistic Detective posted:Just got back from a week on Skye. oh wow, these are amazing... and I'm incredibly jealous. I've been to Skye but it was before I was serious about photography. I think I took 30 rolls of film on my trip but probably only shot a roll with on Skye and nothing turned out nearly as amazing.

First trip out with my 30D, and well out of practice, so I'd appreciate any feedback. Rocky Mountain National is a hard place to take pictures in winter because it is just so so cold. 26 by toybux  25 by toybux  17 by toybux Edit: BTW I realize that there are spots on the lens in the top two shots. These are straight outta the camera, so I haven't messed with cleaning them yet. It was snowing like a mother and made it hard to keep the lens clean. toybux fucked around with this message at 03:29 on Jan 25, 2011 |

It was snowing like a mother and made it hard to keep the lens clean. Those spots are from dust on your sensor, spots on your lens are going to be so out of focus that they will be next to impossible to see in photos. Crap on the front of the lens might affect contrast and increase flare a bit, but there really needs to be a ton of it to make a noticeable difference.

Why do they show up intermittently? I just went back and looked at some shots taken in sequence and the spots don't show up in most shots. Is it just dust inside the body getting kicked around by the shutter?

Is it just dust inside the body getting kicked around by the shutter? Shooting at wide apertures the light isnt focused by the time its on the same plane as the dust but is by the time it gets to the actual sensor. When you stop down the light is focused at longer distances on both sides of the lens so the dust cast a more obvious shadow on the sensor. Thats normally why you would see it then not stopped down.

Also when you are shooting in snow you are going ot have to adjust your exposure to compensate for the brightness of it. Depending on the conditions normally a stop or two will do.

 Can someone look at this and tell me if it looks too dark? I don't have a calibrated monitor and my eyes have been fighting with the histogram. I'm thinking that a few layer masks would be in order, but I am just starting to learn that.

Yeah, that's definitely too dark. I'd go the route you were thinking, with some layer masks for pretty much everything that isn't in the top right corner. Hotwax Residue, that is an awesome, awesome shot. Congrats. Scatterfold, that middle pic is a gorgeous b/w. I'm jealous. Caught a sunset on a mountain overlooking Los Angeles. Composition isn't terribly exciting (there wasn't much up there), but I thought it was kinda purdy. 7 shot HDR.  Tongva Peak HDR by Smekermann, on Flickr

OK, cool. Thanks. Any recommendations of a particular filter? It's been a while since I looked into it, but I seem to remember it should be 'low-profile' or something, to prevent vignetting?

As for actual filters I don't know, I have a cheap kenko that I got because I was leaving on a trip and was all I could find locally. While it works I would probably maybe look for a better one, I noticed that some coating has chipped off.

That's pretty neat, because the lake looks like it's a hole into another world. I guess the downside is it completely dominates the image.. it sucks the eye in and doesn't let go.
