Welp, this is probably my last set of aerial landscapes from this country. Until my next vacation, anyways.  This is the road to the cursed Earth, where retired judges go on the Long Walk:  I think this is 2 or 3 layers of old houses that have been blown away over a zillion years:

Rediscovered an old (1 year ago, old) negative which turned out to be quite pleasing actually. For some reason I skipped this when first going through the pictures taken that day.

I've never done landscapes before. I think I should invest in a tripod and some ND filters if I want to go to the next level. The rest of the set is on Flickr and there are three panoramas in our panorama thread  1.  2.  3.  4.  5.  6.  7.  8.  9.  10.

Clown posted:I've never done landscapes before. I think I should invest in a tripod and some ND filters if I want to go to the next level. If you are looking at equalizing the exposure between your foreground and sky you can get some pretty comparable results using a tripod and doing two shots, one exposing for foreground and one exposing for sky, and blending together using layer masks in photoshop. The advantage is you don't have to worry about your ND filter crossing across objects that protrude into the sky. edit: If you shot RAW you could probably bring back a good amount of detail and contrast in the mountains and sky using the process Ambihelical Hexnut described a page or so back. I believe both of these shots used this technique, just as an example.  20111213-20111213-_MG_2749.jpg by beastofexmoor, on Flickr  Haleakala Crater At Sunrise by beastofexmoor, on Flickr BeastOfExmoor fucked around with this message at 21:22 on May 7, 2012 |

I've been actually trying some post-production and exposure blending in particular, but I still am not getting the light to look realistic. No doubt I just need better painting skill and more experience, but one thing I still don't get is how to get the foreground to be as bright as it should be without blowing it out. This time I went out and took like ten exposures in steps of 0.3 EV just to check and whenever the foreground is light enough, it's washed out. Am I missing something? These two I think I did all right on, and only because the horizon is not complex:  Minnesota River Zoom on Flickr  Shakopee on Flickr vote_no fucked around with this message at 15:40 on May 8, 2012 |

wow, there's been some great stuff posted in here in the last couple of pages, I'm really impressed. I just took a trip to Zion NP for the first time last week. I was starting to work through processing the photos from the trip but somehow the folder is now corrupted in Win7... I've got to figure out if I can recover or I'm going to be really bummed out. Somehow Lightroom can reference all but maybe 10-20 photos in the folder so hopefully I can at least do a bulk export to save the majority of them. I've been following a lot of landscape photographers on Google+ to get some inspiration as well, not sure if many of you are on G+ but it seems like there's a really vibrant photographer's scene going. I'm actually thinking about taking a workshop from this guy at some point in the future: http://goldpaintphotography.com/ Also looking for a used 16-35mm f/2.8 to pick up, the 24mm f/1.4 just isn't wide enough for most of the hiking trips I've been taking, I can always stitch but it's easier just to get the right composition in a single frame. What would you guys say is the single most useful lens in your camera bag for landscapes?

That said in an ideal world I would replace it with a D800 and a 14-24 2.8... Edit: do you still have your zion pictures on a memory card or have you shot more photos on the same card since? Maybe you could recover them from there?

Sigma 10-20/4-5.6. Good price and solid lens.

unfortunately since most of the stuff I do when I'm not shooting landscapes on hikes is very low-light concert/event type stuff that lens will cut it for me  also I'd love to get into star trail photography when I'm camping and I'll need the f/2.8 for that as well.

There's the Tokina 11-16/2.8, which is quite a bit wider than the 16-35 if you really want something ultra wide.

I own both a Tamron 17-50mm f/2.8 and the Sigma 10-20mm (the variable aperture one). I've been surprised how little I use the 10-20mm for landscapes and I've actually been very close to selling it on several occasions. I've been unimpressed by the sharpness and contrast, but of course I've been comparing it to the Tamron which is very sharp. I'm too lazy to remote into my desktop and check my lightroom stats, but I'd say I probably use the Tamron 90% of the time and the Sigma 10% of the time. It is nice to be able to go wide occasionally, but I noticed I used it as a crutch and wound up with less interesting compositions way too often.

Those are totally rad. How did you do the top one? The cars are streaking, but the boat+smoke is mostly frozen? Multiple exposures?

This thread makes me really want a wide angle lens. Anyways, here's a few that I think count as landscapes. I'm going through a phase right now with the processing, hopefully it doesn't make these photos boring like my wife tells me it does...

Unfortunately flickr shrunk it down to 1024 pixels in width. That's a pretty sweet angle though. I've only seen the mountain from the ground.. sort of. The peak was buried in clouds.  What were you flying around up there for?

We rarely use the space above/around McKinley operationally but mostly for making up flight hours on the tail end of a sortie or for dude's final flights in the jet. And just for fun here is the peak 4,000 feet above it.  Click for embiggened

Here's one of mine from Murren a few years back. I have to get back there soon.  and another from the train from Murren to Winteregg  I should probably reprocess them soon, it's been a long time and they definitely look like they could use some improvements to me now.
