Initial impression: dude needs to get his sensor replaced or find a new camera.

Then I scrolled down. :doh:

The third picture is really cool. I personally would have tried to push the contrast a bunch, but that may not be possible with fire-induzed haze.

I like the composition though.

Yeah the 2nd and 3rd I was playing with the contrast. Pushed it pretty far in the one with the helicopter not as much on the 3rd. I still wanted the trees to be nice and green and I think if I pushed it anymore that would not have been the case.

Anyone got any opinions on the colors in this shot? I was quite literally randomly pushing sliders around in lightroom and stumbled on this. The original image is extremely flat, so getting any sense of depth out of it felt like a victory.

From Badlands National Park:



Compositionally it feels like a dud, wife and I were rushing home from a vacation and I only had about 30 minutes to explore the place. I think there's enough there to warrant revisiting though.. I bet it's amazing at sunrise/sunset.

I just need a wider lens. :v:

Colours seem fine. If you want depth, look for a foreground element to give some context and to lead the eye inward.

Definitely agree. 100-200mm are the most under-appreciated focal lengths for landscapes.

I feel like I would have needed a lot more time to get use out of a longer lens. Walking around looking for 'the spot', waiting for sunset.. I could easily have spent two days there.

This visit was barely above "stick the camera out the window as I drive by".

I'm still pretty new to the processing thing though (or perhaps more specifically, critiquing myself), and have problems knowing when I've gone too far with the sliders.

HOLY poo poo. :aaa: I did not notice that until you pointed it out! drat, now I have to do a lot of work on that photo.

I'm hoping it's just raindrops on the lens - it was raining that day. Not sure if I've got the guts to clean a sensor....

Done, thanks for the heads-up.

Why do you say that?

It's hard to avoid sounding like I'm fishing for compliments, but I really don't see what brings it into 'awesome' territory. There's no subject, the hills don't seem framed in a terribly interesting way, all it has going for it is color which as I said I accomplished by randomly changing sliders. So if it works, cool, but I was filing it under "things to try to repeat in the future but do a better job next time".

Main reason for posting it was to see what people thought of the processing, because like I said I still don't feel like I have a good eye for how much is too much.

Here's a few from my Honeymoon back in July. I'm totally a beginner that just pres butans until I get something I like, so I'm always up to hear how I can make things better in post or when I'm there taking photos.

It was actually pretty neat. This was the first time I rented a lens as well. Definitely worth the money to be able to walk around with a lens I'd normally never be able to afford.
