I have decided to take a small walk and take some picture. I took my light metering on the sky(bad idea) , i read in bryan peterson book that my light exposure should be +1. But my picture got out really ugly so i had to recompose. Any tips?

Yeah the sky colour looks off, the ground is also a bit odd but the sky really jumps out as being off.

Hmmm, I dunno how I didn't notice the sky. I didn't do anything to the ground so I dunno whats going on there.

I think it is mostly the sky that looks off, the blue looks unnatural.

^^^ That is pretty awesome. Looks a bit off level though, just a little bit high on the right side.

Chiming in with more kudos on that shot. Quite great. I'm 3 days away from a roadtrip to Moab, UT, hoping to come back with a bevy of landscape shots. Going there primarily for the Skinny Tire Festival and doing roadbiking during the day, shooting in the afternoon/evening/night. Any one been down there before and have recommendations of specific areas that stand out?

Out of curiosity, what was the focal length on that shot?

onezero posted:Chiming in with more kudos on that shot. Quite great. Let me preface this by saying I abhor traveling in the Southwest in March. I've never had a good photographic experience during that part of the year in that area. I've shot in Utah on a few occasions. Moab's closest national park attraction is Arches. If you grew up watching Indiana Jones (TLC), you will recognize a few of the locations from the young Indy exposition. Arches is accessible to anyone in decent condition. This time of year the number of tourists at the bigger attractions (like Delicate Arch) should be manageable. The sandstone in the oft-traveled areas can be slippery, and since Arches gets snow/sleet/ice/rain (all at the same time, sometimes), some of the areas may be treacherous. PS. Delicate Arch is a sunset attraction, and while it is a short hike (TO the arch, not the 'viewing area' or whatever), it does require some common sense and navigational awareness. Dead Horse Point State Park and Canyonlands National Park are also very close. I've been to Dead Horse Point four times and, due to weather, have never seen it from the classical canyon rim view... Canyonlands are a challenge photographically, especially above the rim. I've not come away with very many images that are both unique and exceptional. The photo in Canyonlands is Mesa Arch. The overlook of the confluence of the Green and Colorado Rivers is nice. I would like to visit the False Kiva some time. The Canyonlands are also home to pictographs and petroglyphs known as The Great Gallery. It's probably out of season, but the park ranger who does the astronomy program off toward the Green River campground does an excellent job. West of Canyonlands are things like Horseshoe Canyon and Robbers Roost, which are pretty remote. Robbers Roost is where Butch Cassidy used to hang out. It's also where the dude from 127 Hours was when he biffed his arm. Things like Goblin Valley State Park and Monument Valley, UT/AZ are about two- and three hours away, respectively. I'm not sure you'll have time to visit something so far from Moab, but they are worth seeing some time (the latter more than the former, imo). If you need some inspiration, Tom Till has been 'the guy' producing Moab-area postcards for the past billion or so years. Also, searching for Moab movie locations should give you a few ideas of what's out there; a lot of stuff has been filmed and photographed in Utah.

Thanks for the information. I'll be doing the same bike ride, but I'm from Southern California and will be coming down through Monument Valley, Antelope Canyon and the like. This certainly helps cement in some of the ideas I had for the road trip home.

I really like this last one, but there's a little chromatic aberration on the top left corner (and maybe on the right, I can't tell). I like to go in and desaturate them with the sponge tool, although I don't know if anyone else would notice. Either way, I think its the best from the lot.

How often do you guys focus at the hyperfocal distance? Or do you just autofocus on a point in the scene, stop down to f/18 or whatever, then shoot? Because that's basically how I did it when I used to shoot landscapes. I haven't been around a "typical landscape scene" in a long time so it hasn't really concerned me, and most of my everyday shooting is at the larger end of the aperture. But now that I am starting to actually read about this stuff it's quite interesting. So I am curious how many of you incorporate techniques like that in your shooting? edit: Holy crap, this was like the 4th question asked in the thread.
