Noice.

I really like how the steam sort of mirrors the hill in opposite tone and direction.

They say, "you mean it's just sounds?" thinking that for something to just be a sound is to be useless, whereas I love sounds just as they are, and I have no need for them to be anything more than what they are.

Yeah I was in that area for five days. Stayed in Yosemite a couple nights, and then a couple nights in Mammoth Lakes.

Would a polarizer help with shots like the one below where anything in the distance is a bit hazy and has a pronounced blue tint?

Nope, that's diffusion caused by moisture in the air. Really cold weather helps to cut that down.

An ND grad would be my first choice.

Judicious use of the haze tool in the latest Lightroom can help with that too. It's kind of like clarity though.. use it as little as possible because it does horrible things to your picture if you crank it.

But when it works, it's magic.

All four of those would be better if you bothered with perspective correction, but this is the one where I was sad about it.

And a bit of dodging would make it less obvious you shot it through a fence

Yeah, I know, I'm super bummed about it because for some reason lightroom wouldn't let me change the perspective on anything in that import, which was all the files on the card.

Normally just changing the raw file to the right lens does it fine, and in this case when I chose the right lens it did nothing, so I tried to do it manually, and it just wouldn't do anything. I think the raw files on that card might be a bit hosed up or something (I had done it on other files that I did on different cards and it worked fine), so I'm canning the card since it's a few years old now anyway.

Unless anyone else has an idea as to why everything would work except the lens correction/perspective stuff.

edit: I also closed LR and re-opened it and same thing.

This is the first time I've attempted to add it using software.

By 'attempt' I mean I hit the automatic perspective correction button in ACR. I'll agree that there's not a whole lot to give the impression of PC in the last two, but the first one pretty much looks how I expected it would. Note that's not how I wanted it to look, but I guess I'd need an actual shift lens for that.

Or I could have asked to borrow the crane.

Check out the perspective crop tool instead

Thought you used the perspective correction tool in LR, which would have probably fixed it properly since there are pretty well defined verticals in your shots.

That photo reminds me of a movie I just watched - Enemy at the Gates. Not exactly a 'good' movie, but the cinematography, look of the film stock & color grading was pretty striking (for someone who doesn't watch a lot of movies, but has mostly seen newer ones recently) and it definitely had a lot of old grain elevator shots.
