Bottom Liner posted:I like the wider better too but move your horizon either up or down and crop off the top or bottom. Yeah, I'd crop the top on that one but keep the wide view overall. But that's just, like, my opinion. I noticed that I tend to either have a lot of empty space in my shots or make them really tight. With the landscape shots I seem to end up having a lot of "nothing" in them, or crop so tight there's no e.g. no sky and just trees visible. It bothers me a bit when you get a "little bit" of something.  L1008723 by C M, on Flickr

ShoogaSlim posted:as i get used to Lr, i'm agonizing over minor details and wondering if my edits are any better than the original versions of photos or if i'm just making a big mess of things. after a while i can't even tell what looks good or not or better or worse staring at the same image too long lol. field balm posted:Honestly I think the colours are very nice in the original, and still fine in your edit - I kind of prefer the greenish tint on the headlights in the original but thats just a taste thing. I think the crop you made does the image a disservice though, the foreground is the more interesting part of the image compared to the empty blue sky at the top and you've cut it off part way through a car. Crushed blacks are dramatic but it would be interesting to see with some more exposure on the forground? Nice shot eitherway! took another crack at this keeping this feedback in mind. fixed the crop, and i resisted temptation to keep the shady parts shady so i could make things stand out and more visible (i actually went in and made it even brighter in the bottom portion after seeing it in the post preview bc it was still very dark). also, i still have a heavy tendency to lean more saturated and made the sky bluer than it probably needs to be? getting the hang of playing with masks and de-selecting sections and adding to sections to tweak things how i want. so it's still all a nice learning process  overall i'm way happier with this edit than the previous. i suppose that probably might be true for all creative processes until you go crazy and start hating every edit you make.

I just love it when you get the "layers" of mountains with some fog/mist/clouds/smog that make them look almost graphical. Not sure about the crop on this one, it feels unbalanced somehow, what do you guys think? Or is it just a blah shot and I should nuke it?

The first one definitely has a balance problem. But there's nothing you can crop out without making it worse. I think it mostly comes from the cascade on the left coming out of the corner. That third one is rad. I always make stuff like that a square crop so it's interesting when someone doesn't.

JAY ZERO SUM GAME posted:pleasant things being posted Some really cool stuff these last few pages! I really like the shadow contrast here - with the tree detail it almost feels like a microscopic photo. Speaking of trees, finally got myself outside and saw an absolutely ginormous fake one

I think it mostly comes from the cascade on the left coming out of the corner. Yeah, I kept fiddling with crops on the first one and just can't make it happen. I think it's the two similar cascades messing things up. I like the look of the area though so will have to go back and try some different angles of these falls.

That’s much better. I don’t think I have seen any use of sepia on digital files that ever looked good vs just B&W.

I'm not a huge fan of sepia in general, those look fairly good coloring wise. The shots themselves are fantastic 😍. But I may agree with just straight b+w over sepia, but I'm biased against sepia. I almost feel like maybe starting b+w and then color grading with wild colors might be better than b+w for digital.

Can only add to the love here. What a great, well balanced shot. I kind of miss the CCD on my Leica M9. It made for some fairly dramatic and a little overcooked shots but I did like it:  L1009130 by C M, on FlickrThe Canon 1D4 was with me on the same trip and it was more laid back:  DQ6J3580 by C M, on Flickr DQ6J3525-2 by C M, on Flickr
