If you use it at all it needs to be subtle

I do urban landscapes with a prime lens equivalent to 55mm on full frame, and while not the conventional choice, it works well. But if you're shooting a 50mm lens on an APSC camera, that's a 75mm equivalent FoV and that's a little cramped at street level. Get a little bit of elevation, though, and a short tele can open up some new creative possibilities for urban landscape photography.

This is extremely my poo poo but I would like it more if it was less sky. The sign and the grass are the best part of this. I bought an SX-70, RIP my wallet  1525228498354-887c739d-9e7c-4098-af57-106ed10e6a7b by Jim, on Flickr

Went to Zion. Hiked about 35 miles, ran a 100k ultramarathon on the mesas, and camped in the freezing temps all week. It didn't disappoint.                and my favorite photo from the week: a double exposure of sunset and twilight of the iconic canyon junction bridge view. First time trying focus stacking and double exposure with about 8.5 hours difference in the shots.

Well thanks guys. I don't have much of a clue of what I'm doing with landscapes but I sure do love it. Such a refreshing change from weddings/portraits. If you've never been to Utah, it's just out of this world good. Being from the Southeast the sense of scale out there blows my mind.

Bottom Liner posted:Went to Zion. Jesus Huckleberry Christ. 1. Hiking and running an ultra marathon ... ridiculous 2. Your photos are pretty great 3. What body are you running and what lenses (assuming wide angle) did you use the most? I'm building a new kit based off a Sony a7iii but I'mgetting my wedding lenses first (24-70, 70-200 and 85). Anything wider than 24mm is going to be a later purchase but in just trying to get ideas now. Ive been wanting to get out to Utah for a while now that I live on the west coast but this really made up my mind. I might have to try to get out there before it gets too crazy hot or wait until fall. Also I've been really enjoying the double exposure landscapes that mix sunset and night time exposures.

Verman posted:Jesus Huckleberry Christ. Those were on the Nikon d750 with their 20/35/50/85 1.8s which is also my wedding kit. According to Lightroom I used them in that order the most on this trip, though the 20 is inflated due to a lot of star shots and some bracketing. The 20 1.8 is an incredible lens that I don't see get nearly enough praise, with basically zero distortion for how wide it is. The 35 is my favorite landscape length though, which is what the Angels Landing and daytime Watchman shots were done on. If I were packing light I'd take the 35 and 85, they cover most of what I shoot and I can fit both in my little dslr pouch with the body in my daypack. If I were going ultralight I'd just take the 35, it can do a little of everything pretty well. I've considered going back to a 24-70 and 70-200 setup to cover a wider range with half the lenses and keeping the 20 for night stuff. I ran that setup on Canon and loved it, but wanted to go all primes on Nikon for a change. Bottom Liner fucked around with this message at 23:39 on May 6, 2018 |

If you do go to Zion, don't day trip it. You need to spend a week there to really dig in and do the trails. Granted most of these shots are near the main road so great vistas are certainly very easy to get to, but you're missing a lot. It's not like the grand canyon where you can spend a couple hours there and feel like you've "seen it" (unless you're one of those sadists that can make it to the canyon floor). Zion is full of unique sights.

Couple of other tips for Zion (which everyone should go to, best national park I've been to in the States): - Bring a tripod to The Narrows. Light blows there and you don't want to miss the awesomeness of those canyon walls. You also want to go fairly early in the day, otherwise once light starts to leak into the canyon itself, you'll start getting patches of blown out light. - Light in general is really tricky in Zion. You can face one way and things are very nicely lit and you can get a nice blue sky to contrast the red canyon walls. Then you face the other direction and everything is washed out to hell. I think you see that in a couple of Bottom Liner's shots, notably the two canyon vistas. - Angel's Landing was only okay. Much, much prefer The Narrows. Edit: Here have some more Zion, showing what my second bullet point is trying to say:

landgrabber posted:why are so many of these scraping the edges of overexposed? Not sure how I'd describe the colors as washed out, there's a ton of saturation in the blues and greens and the exposure is pretty even other than the mid day stuff in the high up shots, but it was very bright and hazy so they reflect that. As for night shot grain, they were shot at 12,000 ISO so it's a trade off. Also Imgur ate everything with compression, they're definitely cleaner on my end. I really should use flickr more.

Yeah shooting anything in the high desert is like that except at dusk. Here's my same shots showing that struggle   Angel's Landing was a fun moderately challenging hike (pretty hardcore for most people, more in the elevation than technical) and I thought the views were worth it. I wish I'd had done it at sunset and rented a bike to get back to the entrance but I thought it was still great. Met some cool people on the way up and down too. The Narrows was indeed a great unique experience. It felt amazing on my feet after my race! And yeah, I had 6 days in the park and it wasn't enough.

The tones look fine to me? Not everything has to be saturated and tonemapped in nature landscapes.

In the canyon floor shots I think the greens are borderline, as in they aren't over the top maxed saturation but the more you look at them they stand out as more vibrant than everything else in the image. The blues aren't far behind. I'd guess that's what makes them seem "off." It's at the point where it might be unintentional, maybe like a color calibration type thing.

This one looks like a matte painting. It's really obvious that the sky is a different image to the foreground. There's a very hard boundary between the very different lighting at the top of the cliffs, it just looks like you dropped in a pre-generated skybox.

Yeah I didn't do enough intermediary focusing and I need to even out the exposures more before printing since I shot the foreground too early and had drop the exposure, but it's pretty close to what I had in mind when planning.
