Maybe play around with distortion correction to straighten out the bridge and leave everything else alone? Or maybe even load it into photoshop and play with the perspective correction stuff.

VelociBacon posted:I'm brand new to photography in general but have been getting out and practicing as much as I can. Lightroom can do an good job of it, but you also need to make sure when playing with the GRAD tool you are playing with it correctly. I feel there is a time and a place for GND filters vs Lightroom Grad tool. You will find out on your own if you want to pack around a few GNDs or not. RAW isnt just this awesome forgiving format with all the light data. You can gently caress up a RAW just as much as you can gently caress up a Jpg. If you are exposing correctly and using your gut feeling to make minor tweaks to your exposure, then you can be less concerned, its not just because you shot one file type over another. Practice eventually leads you there.

Did you sharpen it a bunch? Something is going on, the image feels so busy it hurts my eyes to look at it.

This isn't really my area of photography, to be honest, but I do like to take "landscape-ish" shots from time to time, when I see something I like: Ohio River by Lunken Spotter, on Flickr  River of Glass by Lunken Spotter, on Flickr  Columbus Skyline by Lunken Spotter, on Flickr  Lighted Border by Lunken Spotter, on Flickr Nothing professional, and nothing that will be published ever, but it's pleasing to my eyes.

Looks like the rock layers are tilted back towards the viewer, so it looks like you're on top of them even though you're looking up at them. Snow is nice.

I hiked in there last month, this was just a stop on the way to Annapurna Base Camp. xzzy posted:Did you sharpen it a bunch? I used an unsharp mask technique in PS on them. I suppose that one could argue they are oversharpened; personal taste I suppose. I like the visual impact it creates on this particular scene; usually I am far less liberal with my sharpening. The particular method I used is probably more suited to prints than web, but as I said personally I liked the impact it gave the images in this instance.

Mathturbator posted:Dude, there are people who would kill to get shots like these. So it bothers me that you've gone overboard with something, there's a lot of haloing going on in the second pic. That shot deserves better! It's interesting that you say there is haloing. I am typically someone who instantly notices haloing. On my display I honestly can't see any in that image, even after you pointed it out and I specifically looked for it. Of course, I do still have a piece of poo poo monitor. Even doing a side-by-side with the unsharp mask removed doesn't immediately highlight the presence of any haloing to me.

Those shots that people are saying are over-sharpened are totes over-sharpened which is a shame because they would be sweet otherwise.

Shameful indeed (I'll change my ways). I kind of use my flickr as an image host for just any picture I need to throw out there, and I'm not used to taking things that people would favorite. Thanks for the complements!
