Falco posted:Very nice. I'm actually debating between Kearsage pass and Cottonwood Pass for a Whitney trip this summer. Haven't been on Cottonwood Pass, but Kearsarge is absolutely gorgeous. Once you get through the pass and reach that plateau with the Kearsarge Lakes, it's pretty much heavenly scenery. Speaking of the Sierras, here's another shot I reprocessed from that trip. I originally had processed it in color, but I was never really satisfied with the clouds. Yesterday I finally realized why: because they weren't black and white and I hadn't dodged and burned the poo poo out of them.

Haven't posted in a while. Hope you enjoy. Click image(s) to view on black background, avoid burning your retinas, and appreciate shadow detail.

The sun was at an altitude of just 11.3 degrees at the time this image was made, which provides for the softness in the quality of light prevalent in the image. In the distance is the beautiful turquoise Lake Tekapo. Lake Tekapo has a surface area of roughly 83 square kilometres and sits approximately 700 metres above sea level. The lake is being fed by the pristine glacial Godley River, seen in the image proper, as a network of braided twists and knots. The water in the lake has flowed 30 kilometres south from the Mount Cook region in the Southern Alps. Canon EOS 5D Mark II, Canon EF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM 1/100s f/10.0 at 105.0mm iso320  H

SO I'm looking to get an ultra-wide (possibly prime) for my Canon 550d for landscapes. Someone point out the pros and cons of a not-too expensive Sigma or Canon lens for me. Thanks.

Hotwax Residue posted:I think maybe I should crop out the rocks at the bottom THe thing that bothers me is the rock that is cut off on the right hand side. I think it would look better without that, so I would probably crop some off the bottom.

I'm pretty much a scrub at landscape photography, any tips? Click here for the full 599x900 image.  Click here for the full 600x900 image.  Click here for the full 1500x1000 image.

Thanks guys. Looks more like the idea I had in my head at the time. I was just being a bit lazy with the framing, one major drawback of using a 10 stop ND.

I always find it hard to throw away pixels. I got a 15.1 MP sensor, I want to use every last one of those photons!

I don't mind square crop because the corners are generally the weakest optically, but yeah I totally feel the same even though I know its irrational

So I bought a Hasselbad last night on the advice of this thread, and no bitches will gently caress me.  Apparently you need money to lure them in, and after buying the camera, I have none. Also, I'm having trouble getting comfortable in my new home in the alley.

I'm not completely happy with the framing of this shot either. I think I could have made more use of the rock shadows. Lucky for me I can go back and re-shoot it if the weather plays the game.

All I want to do is see more to the right, maybe you are able to go further out into the lake or something? EDIT: I still think the light is amazing and it is still a nice shot but it bothers me at the same time.

Dread Head posted:EDIT: I still think the light is amazing and it is still a nice shot but it bothers me at the same time. It seems like the image lacks a subject. The sun is just out of frame, the mountain really isn't much of a feature, and the foreground rocks are cut off just when they start to get interesting. The lighting is pretty impressive though. The shadows are really neat.

I love seeing what you guys are shooting. I've been out messing with my kit lens (17-55) trying to capture random landscape shots. Is it reasonable to hope for a decent picture with that lens or do I need something wider? I've been aiming for shots near sunset, setting the aperture in the range of 12-16 and reducing the shutter speed to make a decent exposure. I assume all i need after that is something interesting to shoot and good composition? Am I in the right ballpark?

That's an 80mm on 6x6 so a normal FOV. That second one is pretty rad by the way.
