big scary monsters posted:Hell yeah just booked flights, I'm going to Iceland at the end of the month. We're ostensibly going ice climbing but I'm taking my LF camera and I'll leave my ropes behind if I have to. I remember a couple of people here have been before, any advice on where to stay/eat/rent car/make photo etc.? Posting itt because I figure the whole country is made of sexy rocks. Like everyone else is saying, you won't have any trouble finding places to shoot - the landscape changes dramatically every few miles, and you'll want to constantly stop to shoot as much as you can! You said you're going ice climbing... are you focusing on a specific area of the country, or do you have time to travel around? I can't recommend driving the ring road enough, but if you don't have enough time for the whole thing, the south side of the country is particularly incredible - it has Vik's beaches, Skaftafell's glaciers and Jökulsárlón's lagoon. I was there in the off-season and most places to eat outside of Reykjavik and Akureyri were closed, so I'm not much help there... just don't miss the 'national food' (they're great)! Be prepared to pay a lot for tiny cups of coffee. And, if you want to buy anything made of wool, wait until Vik because everything was like 1/3rd the price of Reykjavik.

I went in August/September but I feel like this time of the year you will have a very different experience. All the questions you have asked really depend on your budget, I found it to be a pretty expensive location to visit but was able to do some things to make it cheaper. If you have any specific question send me a PM or ask on here.

I took an Alaska trip over the summer and lightroomed all my photos on the road without really publishing a lot of them. Since it's cold as heck outside and I'm too lazy to go shoot tonight, I started running through some of them again and getting them online:

Musket posted:Reported to France for clear copyright violation. Haha wait, you can't take a photo of the Eiffel tower? I actually wasn't planning on making an animated .gif, but I accidentally set the camera to burst mode and I was like "wait a minute, that's a great idea!" and took the photo. I'll be doing it again in the future though.

Just did a winter trip to yellowstone. If you're looking for a moderately expensive photography vacation and haven't seen yellowstone yet I highly recommend it, it's nearly deserted compared to the summer. And if you come in from the south you get the Tetons for free!

I was surprised with a fancy new DSLR for christmas and now I spend my days wandering the barren outskirts of Vienna in search of things to shoot. Still have a hard time figuring out what makes for a good picture but here's some landscape stuff I've come up with. If anyone has any suggestions for improvement I'd love to hear them!

The first 2 are pretty cool. the 3rd one, and I find this a lot too, Probably looks awesome in person, but when you get home for post processing or uploading, you kind of see it's a no nothing photo. Every time I'm on a cool hiking trail I take all these pictures of the trail and they almost always come out blaahh when the actually place looks so cool and photogenic.

Marshmallow Blue posted:Every time I'm on a cool hiking trail I take all these pictures of the trail and they almost always come out blaahh when the actually place looks so cool and photogenic. I think this the most interesting thing that's happened to me over the years of taking photographs: it used to be that I would take pictures and be disappointed that they weren't reflecting the scene properly. I don't know if I wasn't seeing accurately before and photography has allowed me to see properly, or if I used to see accurately and I've come to see the world through the more limited vision of the camera. I think it's the former, but either way I'm rarely surprised anymore when I get back and look at the photos I've taken. I now see those annoying aspects that the photo used to reveal to me; places where the scene itself is overexposed, or where detail is being lost. Even with scenes that were nicely lit, I'd often look at the photo of it and say, "That's not how it looked!" But that was how it looked, and I think I can see it now.

Another from Nepal. Thoughts on the processing? Not 100% convinced on this but it's much better than my previous attempts. This has been a very hard shot to process.
