somnambulist posted:What's your processing for images like these? Very simple, usually I have 2 shots one for the sky, one for the foreground and then use a mask. The 2 beach ones are single shots, but I made a slightly darker shot with the raw for the sky as I didn't have my tripod with me. Hotwax Residue posted:These are great. So clean and simple. I might have cloned out the people (or person and dog) in the last one though. I had considered cloning out the people, still thinking about. I usually don't like to clone stuff out, but I do once and awhile. Edit: Hotwax, I think that one is a bit dark, at least the foreground. I feel that you have lost all the details and dont have anything that makes it up such as an interesting silhouette or something.

Took this one tonight, at almost 10pm. Sukoi Islands by b.kilkenny, on Flickr I don't have a tripod, so I set my camera on a rock with my hat cushioning it.

Rented a 70-200mm f/2.8 for a trip to China, so I've pretty much been going mental with it. Took this at Wulingyuan, in Zhangjiajie, stitched together with Microsoft Image Composite Editor.  I realized about 30 minutes into the trek up the mountain that I should've brought a wide-angle lens with me so I tried to make do with the 70mm end and multiple pictures.

Dread Head posted:Or, cropping out the uninteresting bit on the left. The elements here are that cloud, the tree, and less so the ridge in the background. Focus on them. It's clear that's what you found interesting. I mean I'm biased, but the way the hill in the foreground and the mountains in the background intersect when I square crop it to the right is really cool.

JAY ZERO SUM GAME posted:This is cool. Should have waited for the cloud the move more to the left (it looks as if it's moving that way, at least). I do have another similar shot with less mountain on the left but I felt it was a bit unbalanced, I will try to remember to post it tonight.

Yeah. Nice. Have you tried it with more open space at the top (if that's an option)? It would make the space feel even bigger, and the person smaller.

Anyone have any good recommendations for a graduated/neutral density filter set? I'm actually not sure if I should get a graduated set or a solid set. I want to use it for my 17-55 efs 2.8 which is 77mm. But, I would also like to be able to throw it on my other lenses, mainly my 100mm which is 72mm. Any help? Should I get a set that fits a specific diameter, or is there a good set that fits over the lens where you just load gels?

For graduated filters always buy square filters big enough that they'll cover your biggest lens. If you buy a round 77mm graduated filter, you're stuck in that size and with the graduation line right in the middle of the image. If you buy square you can either hand hold or buy a holder and use them on all of your lenses. They get expensive quickly, but I've read good things about the Hitech brand for an inexpensive alternative to something like Singh Ray. Cokin tend to have some pretty bad color casting, but their holders are pretty decent. Graduated and solid filters do very different things. If you're constantly blowing out the sky while trying to expose the foreground, then buy graduated. If you just need to extend the exposure a bit longer, buy a neutral density filter.

Your white balance looks off here, the rocks look a little to purple I think. If you are set on the purple tones I would mask the rocks out with a better white balance.

Normally for landscapes I set my camera to Daylight in-camera, then just use whatever comes out of the camera as the best representation of white balance.

Been away for the past few days. Cold point by Nebuchadnezzar II, on Flickr  Maclean falls by Nebuchadnezzar II, on Flickr  Purakaunui falls 1 by Nebuchadnezzar II, on Flickr  Purakaunui falls 2 by Nebuchadnezzar II, on Flickr  Temperate by Nebuchadnezzar II, on Flickr  Spray by Nebuchadnezzar II, on Flickr  Curl by Nebuchadnezzar II, on Flickr  Matai falls by Nebuchadnezzar II, on Flickr  Inlet by Nebuchadnezzar II, on Flickr IMO the waterfall pics are the strongest, along with Cold point. I'm not so sure about the two wave ones, and the bush shot, I was looking for some ferns, the stream and the fallen log but I feel it's got too much clutter to be anything more than a offcut. Let me know what you think.

Auditore posted:Been away for the past few days. This one is my favourite of the bunch. The waterfall photos are well done, but I feel like I've seen them a thousand times before from other people. I think Inlet is much stronger than Cold Point, there's some really nice framing going on and the rocks in the foreground help to keep my eyes moving throughout the picture. I think Cold Point would benefit from a lower angle.

While there are some vantage points that are very popular, there are few places in the park where you don't have a view of the Tetons, even the airport has good views of the Tetons. Enjoy your visit, it's such a beautiful part of the country.

siig posted:First time I've shared anything in a long time, any crit or feedback is more than welcome. I've been an enthusiastic amateur for my entire life but I want to get better. The first black and white is processed well technically. Overall you just need to think more about composition. Just because you have a wide angle doesn't mean you need to use it for landscapes. I'm always a little weary of portrait oriented landscapes; the scene has to really call for it. I'm not sure it does in the three you selected. Overall not bad stuff. One word: composition. This means different things for different people and your take on it is what makes your photos.

Thanks for the thoughts! I try to be conscious of composition but you're definitely right about that second square one--it's just a nice looking place, there's nothing really interesting about the way the photo is composed. It's not really an excuse but one fact about all of those photos except the last one (the one of the path at sunset) is that they were taken from a fast-moving train, so my options were kind of limited.

It was the Denali Star that runs between Anchorage and Fairbanks in Alaska. In summer (if the weather is clear) you get a full day of blazing sunlight through some truly beautiful country. Summer in Fairbanks is crazy, that sunset shot was at 1:00 AM--and even then the sun was only truly down below the horizon for about 5 minutes before starting to rise again.

Alaska has the most amazing summers I've ever experienced. It may only last a few months, but the weather is almost always perfect. In August it starts getting more gloomy and rainy, and by late September stuff is freezing over. But May through July? No better time to be there.
