snowman posted:Adjusted photo I think to pull off the pink sky you would have needed to have taken a couple of exposures and done some blending to make it work. Assuming you didn't do that, I'd probably tone down the color in the sky completely. It looks really out of place in the photo. Your foliage and water looks much better now, but that sky in the upper left is giving the edges of the leaves an strange magenta fringe. It's made worse by the fact that that fringe is absent on the right hand side instead replaced by a subtle blue one. I would mask off the areas up top that are getting that magenta color and tweak them a bit so it looks more natural and flows with the color in the rest of the shot.

I was all excited to attempt to get some really cool landscape shots to actually contribute a bit to this thread while I was on my trip to Marco Island this weekend. Then it decided to pour rain and be insanely windy 90% of the time. I managed to get out and take photos for about an hour along the beach while there was a small break in the weather. Here's on of the ones I took away. I was trying to capture both how lovely the weather was and the tiny glimmer of sunny hope that was peaking through. I really wish I had something that was between my 20mm and my 8mm fisheye for this. Well, really I wish I had a full frame.

whaam posted:Is the sky comp'd in? Nope, that's just the weather that day. There was a brief bit of blue sky for maybe 20 minutes and the rest of the day the sky was just a dark mass of ugly as you see on the right there.

A couple questions for you landscapers. This July I'm going to be venturing out to the Pacific Northwest and plan to do a lot of photography while I'm out there. Right now I'm shooting on a 40D and my widest lens (aside from my 8mm fisheye) is a 20mm Sigma. I'm weighing my options of either renting a 5D or a wider zoom lens, possibly with an ND filter, for my trip and am wondering what might be the best route to go for this one. I'm planning on hitting a few national parks and hopefully venturing my way down to Crater Lake in Oregon. Anyone from that area have any suggestions of awesome places to go for hiking/photos?

fenner posted:Do you have to rent? I'm kinda against renting since it just seems like a waste of money to me. But if you have to rent I guess just go for the 5D, why not? I don't mind renting, especially when it's a lens I definitely can't afford to buy at the moment. I've rented a 35L twice now. The lenses I was looking at are only like $40 to rent for a week and the company I go through is local so I don't pay for shipping. I've considered looking into buying the Sigma or Tokina, I'm just not sure I can justify the purchase right now, but we'll see.

^^^ That picture is gorgeous. There's so much going on in a good way. ebonyflesh posted:
It could use some work with masking and blending the exposure. The sky needs more contrast as is a touch overexposed and the foreground is well underexposed.

I'm headed out to San Diego and Vegas in a couple weeks and I'm contemplating renting a wide angle lens for the trip. Right now my widest lens is my Sigma 20mm 1.8 which is nice most of the time, but I'd like something wider for the trip. I know some people on here hate renting, but I have a rental company in my city, so I don't pay for shipping and because I'm a repeat customer they give me 10% off their normal rates, so the rental will be around $45 for 10 days. The other thing that is swaying me to do this is that the day before I leave I'm shooting the Warped Tour, so I figure it's one more reason to snag another lens if only for a crowd shot or two. The two best options I have available are the Canon 10-22 and the Tokina 11-16. They do not have the Tokina 12-24, which is sad because I've heard good things about it. Anyone have have any thoughts on these two lenses? It'd be used mostly for desert and coast type photos.

The Wormy Guy posted:I was just gonna post the same thing about the 4th picture, the sky looks crazy. And with the third one I'd take out a lot of that sky, it doesn't really add anything to the photo, and maybe take out the two random little clouds. I have to disagree on the third one. It adds altitude to the photo. It makes the mountains seem tall, like you are above the clouds. I say leave it.
