Smekerman posted:Are you talking about the blend or the actual skies? If you're talking of the latter, I've seen skies like that (ie. with two different hues in the clouds), there's nothing fake about it. Both, but every part of that image just looks like a cg render.

Reichstag posted:Both, but every part of that image just looks like a cg render. so there's something inherently wrong with landscape photographers taking the time to get the right lighting, composition, and focus and then developing for vibrance and saturation? or...? I get that the shadows are off on this and it's an admitted composite but there are plenty of non-composited landscape photos that have skies like this and I certainly wouldn't fault them for "looking like cg" I'm really confused by what the critique is here.

I didn't say there's anything wrong with it, just that it looks very artificial.

I've been a little shy about putting these up. There are more in my photostream with bigger rocks, but I like these ones the best.

Individually they have a "what the gently caress is this guy smoking?" effect, but in a series I really dig them.

xzzy posted:Individually they have a "what the gently caress is this guy smoking?" effect, but in a series I really dig them. Haha yeah I know what you mean. I'm glad you guys like them though. They've been hiding in my photostream for awhile because I've felt very unsure about how they would be received.

I like the concept/technique, but I don't think it's fully realized in terms of composition or effect. The closest to what I see as it's potential is the first one.

I am going to agree with Reichstag. While it is a cool idea (I remember someone doing really long exposures of water this may be the guy http://www.silverlandscapes.com/#a=0&at=0&mi=2&pt=1&pi=10000&s=0&p=1) I think you may need to do longer exposures, but I think the biggest thing you need to change is composition. For something like what you are trying to do I think the composition needs to be really strong because you are really simplifying the scene and subject.

Just got back from a 5 day photo trip to Tasmania. Barely scratched the surface of the place, and unfortunately got bad weather (i.e clear blue skies) most of the time... All Roads Lead to Rome by Aztatlan, on Flickr

Thanks. I was thinking of taking one of these good ones and blowing it up for my mom's birthday soon. With a little cropping, are these decent enough?  DSC_3566 by DominusAstra, on Flickr  DSC_3175 by DominusAstra, on Flickr  DSC_3315 by DominusAstra, on Flickr

Saint Celestine posted:Thanks. I was thinking of taking one of these good ones and blowing it up for my mom's birthday soon. In my opinion: The third is perfect. The second is very beautiful but also very busy. I think it would have worked better with a smaller aperture. The first needs to be straightened, and could do with the contrast being brought up. A (Lightroom) graduated filter over the sky and mountains would do wonders, as the lake looks quite nice already. Take out the highlights and boost the contrast slightly, and then have that trail off as it reaches the water. And I would bump the blues up a bit, but that's just me.

I think the first is the best, the third is the worst, and the second is alright. Please don't bump up the blues. My problem with the third is that the crop is too tight to give it the sense of scale that I assume you intended. Also it looks a little dark.

I have dozens upon dozens of Canadian Rockies photos to post, since I live here. Eventually I will get to some of them from this spring and summer that I haven't posted already, so I'll start with this: The only post-processing involved is saturation, contrast, and rotation. There's some truly amazing sights to be seen here.

big scary monsters posted:I really like this, not sure if I've quite figured out how it's done. Is this a single exposure? This is indeed a great photo. Looks like one exposure to me: focused on the reflection in the water. Rotated 180. Appears to be snow in the bottom too.

It's flipped 180 degrees.  That's how he avoided getting the camera reflection in the water.

Ah, I was thinking that snow was more sky and it threw off my whole sense of scale. But now I know what it is I can in fact see its reflection too.
