Chinese haze: ruining contrast since the dawn of photography.

I think you did something right here. It isn't a particularly compelling subject, but you had good timing and placement of the sun. The whole thing looks rather hazy though, and I don't think that adds anything to the photo.northward posted:

Both wide and long lenses can be used successfully for landscapes. I'd say the majority of people prefer wider angles. Using the smallest aperture (highest f/#) will give you the greatest depth of field, so both the foreground and background will be in focus, generally a desired characteristic of a landscape photo. The problem is that most lenses are sharpest around f/8 or f/11. Most lenses are significantly less sharp at their narrowest aperture so I wouldn't recommend always going to f/22+. This is another reason why people like wide angle lenses: due to the nature of the wide field of view, the depth of field (the distance in front of you that is in focus) is much bigger on wider angle lenses than on telephotos. This allows you to use an aperture closer to the lens' sweet spot (f/11 for example) and still have the foreground and background be in focus. I'm not sure what you mean by not being able to zoom to infinity. Do you mean can't focus to infinity? If so, are you focusing manually or using autofocus? If focusing manually, usually turning the focus ring all the way in one direction will actually allow you to focus just past infinity meaning nothing will be in focus. Usually infinity focus is just a smidge short of the farthest the ring will go. I don't remember exactly why they do this but someone here knows.

thefreshmaker posted:Dumb question directed at the community in general: In a lot of your guys' photos, the sky and atmosphere look incredibly clear. Are you reducing haze in post? Or is that just from the conditions when you took the shot? If you're doing it in post, how? If it's the conditions at the time, any advice on how to predict haze-free atmosphere? Is it just humidity?
