Crosspost with PAD, I tried to do the same treatment on each one, but they came out differently.

Zygar posted:This thread rocks. Landscape photography is one of the most satisfying types of photography there is, IMO. Some of the stuff in here is absolutely incredible. The water is great, but it's too small in the shot. The contrast of the perfect smoothness with the rocks isn't done quite right here...I think it's just shoved too much into the side of the shot. Less sky, less rock, I think.

I don't really have much of an eye for landscapes sadly but figured I'd try. Y'all have some great shots here.

penneydude posted:Haha, it's a lot better than most I've seen, I'm really liking the light rays coming down from the clouds. Thanks; I don't know why I centered it like that but hey, four years ago. I took this one in the same shot and for some reason put it aside; it's probably the better of the two. I think I just wasn't a fan of the silhouetted mountains because they came out so noisy at normal resolution.

I actually have to ask dread head the same question. If you guys are, what brand and how many stops? I have been looking at buying one to slow down day time shooting.

I really need an ND filter though, ND8 is the most common and gets the job done fine I think, but I have no idea about brands.

I'm having some trouble, often when I'm shooting landscapes in good light the colors dont come out very vivid/saturated, even shooting at f8, iso 100 on a tripod. Here is an example, I had to boost the hell out of this in photoshop to get something like it was IRL, but it fucks the colors boosting them so much, so they're not as natural. Is this just a limitation of my kit lens?

Lots of great photos in here. Personally I like shooting mountains, but since my widest lens is the thrifty fifty often the scenes are a little cramped on my 10d. I'm just starting to get a handle on post processing...most of the time I'm simply adjusting levels to remove the gray in the RAW images, a bit of sharpening, and that's about the extent of my abilities. This, and other threads like it, are invaluable to people like me and I'd like to thank you all for your contributions. A couple summers ago Waterton National Park had some serious forest fire smoke happening and made for some great layering. This one I had to crop funny due to clutter on the bottom, I'm not totally happy with cutting off the lake, but it still works: And this is probably my favourite from the entire trip that summer:

hey dread, beautiful shots, i looked at the exif and was wondering why you shoot in spot metering mode?

unixbeard posted:hey dread, beautiful shots, i looked at the exif and was wondering why you shoot in spot metering mode? He can answer as well, but I also shoot landscapes in spot, so I'll give my answer. I like to use a quasi-zone system. With the spot I can point to either the brightest part of the scene that I want to keep, or the darkest, and adjust my meter to match. For example: +2 for the brightest, or -2 for the darkest.

poopinmymouth posted:He can answer as well, but I also shoot landscapes in spot, so I'll give my answer. Pretty much this I use the spot meter so I can find the brightest and darkest spot and then I go from there. If you use something like matrix it will see the dark water, and the bright sky and try to guess. I would rather see what the camera thinks the water is, then adjust from there and same goes for the sky. These and my shot from a few weeks ago are my first lighting shots so still trying to figure that out.

s0meb0dy0 posted:Is there any difference between this and bracketing + choosing the right exposures? The idea is metering and then taking one photo versus taking several slightly different photos and picking the one that you think is best.

s0meb0dy0 posted:I get how the process is different, but is the end product any different? You have one photo that is exactly how you wanted it instead of three where one is exactly how you want it but underexposed by two stops and another that is "close enough" because you relied on bracketing instead of your technical skill as a photographer
