ZippySLC posted:Holy crap. I wish my sunrise at the beach pics came out like that. Care to share how you got that shot? Thanks, I shot it with NEX-7 with the 10-18mm. I typically under expose a bit, and then in lightroom use the grad filters and change the exposure and color a bit on sky, and a separate grad for the land and water. I am still trying to figure it all out myself. I get lucky sometimes, and this one of those times. To be fair, st. Pete beach is sort of cheating, as every sunrise/sunset I shoot there is amazing! I also was bit intoxicated taking the shot, so maybe that's the trick. Thanks again for kind comment.

My only suggestion would be to mask the top of the grass from the grad filter, it looks a bit blackened.

I'm picking up some proper equipment soon to really get into landscape photography, and going through this thread and seeing so many amazing photos has been really great. A lot of you are seriously amazing photographers. I noticed a lot of talk about processing/touching up afterwards and stuff though, so would someone mind posting up their straight unedited photo vs what the final product looks like so I can get an idea of generally how much processing is done? Also, I know the following picture isn't great (bad composition blah blah) but here is the only landscape photo I'm really proud of, for a variety of reasons. This is a picture of the Millstream Falls in Queensland, taken on an old Nikon FE2 where all the electronics and stuff were busted. I had absolutely no clue about settings, but because all the electronics were dead I was forced to take the picture completely manually/guess, and to take the long exposure I had to manually keep the shutter open and then let go of the button when I wanted to stop. It was shot on lovely cheap Kodak film, with no tripod, with a nice lens that was sadly not wide enough to get more of the surroundings (we were on a manmade lookout that was the only good vantage point and it was as far as we could walk, the rest of the path was sort of "behind" the falls). Every single other photo that day was ridiculously underexposed except for this one, so it just holds a very special place in my heart because it was basically a series of bad mistakes that somehow by sheer luck ended up pretty OK.

Just go out and shoot more photos. As far as PP goes, I think less is more with most landscapes - don't fall into the trap of super-saturated HDR sunsets. I am too lazy to use a grad ND filter so usually need to do a bit of work to the sky in Lightroom. If you shoot RAW you can usually recover a fair bit of detail without it looking overdone. Then a bit of dodging and burning if needed and some adjustments to curves. For high res photos I will often sharpen in Photoshop using a high pass filter as well.

Asking for the "unedited" photo can be tricky--RAWs by their nature look very bland compared to the in-camera processing that JPEGs receive, so what you're probably looking for is a processed picture vs. the straight-out-of-camera JPEG that you would've gotten if you were shooting in that mode. I think most cameras should offer an option to do both simulataneously now, but I don't know how many people use it. I happened to start doing it a few weeks ago, though, so here are some of mine. Note that my JPEGs are set for "vivid" picture control and low "active d-lighting" settings on my Nikon, for whatever that's worth.   DSC_4767 by khyrre, on Flickr   DSC_4773 by khyrre, on Flickr   DSC_4878 by khyrre, on Flickr   DSC_4917 by khyrre, on Flickr My changes usually aren't too major. Mostly just cropping, lens distortion and perspective correction, and some contrast/exposure tweaks; maybe some changes to the color if I feel it warrants it. VSCO Film or other similar preset packs can give you a quick jumping-off point to determine the general direction you want to take a picture in terms of processing, though honestly I think it looks good enough a lot of the time to be a one-click solution (although it'll show in your portfolio if you just keep doing that).

I probably sound like a broken record, but my favorite photos are the ones that did not need any post processing at all. Here's a shot from yesterday that I quite like and didn't need to edit: Through this thread, I've become more comfortable with doing some post-processing and it's really nice to be able to fix things you messed up, or even make things better. Just being able to drop down a virtual graduated filter in Lightroom and drop the exposure on the sky makes a world of difference on bright days. Even still, I always worry that I'm overdoing it, and my aim with post is usually to make it look as realistic as possible.

A lot of you are seriously amazing photographers.

What kind of special equipment are you thinking of getting? I literally do all my shooting with a plane jane D3100 and kit lens, usually no tripod and only very occasionally will I rent a nicer lens if I'm going on a trip or something. If you want to shoot landscapes, go shoot! As for PP, Sometimes I'm subtle, sometimes I get carried away, and rarely it comes out the way I want. I have fun playing in Lightroom because it's (relatively) easy to change the tone or feeling of a photo by changing the colors. Here's one that gives a good example. First is straight out of the camera.  View of Athens (Straight from Camera) by jpitha, on Flickr Literally nothing done to it. Next, how it looks when I cleaned it up and did some mild toning and straightening to it for my album  A view of Athens by jpitha, on Flickr And processed to hell and back. I was trying to give it a vintage look while also trying to express how hot it was that day (it was really hot)  View from the Acropolis by jpitha, on Flickr I am hardly an expert, barely an amateur. I'm still just a photo monkey who pushes buttons to get things looking the way he wants, there are infinitely more skilled people here, but this might help out a little with what can be done.

I like this one of mine, but certainly there are far better landscapers in this thread. Unedited  _MG_6421.jpg by Flying Ferris, on Flickr Edit  _MG_6421.jpg by Flying Ferris, on Flickr Overall warmed it up a bit for feel, and then obviously made local adjustments to the trees and their shadows to lighten them up and warm up the shadow a bit more then the global adjustment. I also boosted the clarity on the clouds to the right to make them pop a bit more. Global sharpness and a small crop to kill some negative space on the left.
