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.

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.

I get how the process is different, but is the end product any different?

bleh

Where is this? I've never seen a view quite like this.

From my hosting:

This one is from back when I went to Yosemite. You're seeing half-dome from the Upper Falls Trail. I'm not sure about my post processing, it just doesn't seem to speak to me, any ideas on how I could have made it better?

The landscape seems too washed out, if that's changeable. And maybe too... soft?

Good to know. I'll play with the contrast some and see if I can get a balance between too soft and overwhelmingly sharp. Thanks for the feedback!

I kind of think it would be better as a b/w. Maybe an infrared film simulation? The dull color doesn't do much for me but the contrast definitely could.

When you are doing that, I would add a slight highlight to half-dome, and pull back just slightly in the canyon and skies as if a sun beam were being cast on the rock face.

I'll give it a shot and come back with the results.

I really like the second two here. Could you post the before/after shots to show what your are able to pull out of the haze? My pictures don't seem to have the pop that yours have. I am still trying to learn what I can do in PS and developing a work flow (been at this for less than a month).

Keep up the good work, and stay safe!

If you can get your hands on it, get Lightroom. It makes workflow a breeze and can do 95% of what photoshop can do.

I have played with Lightroom several times, but the inability to use it on a network is a deal killer. I have three computers that I use in different locations (five if you count laptops) and everything is stored on the network. At this point, I am unable to tie my work down to one machine

Until Adobe decides they are going to help us network dependent people out, I am stuck with Lightrooms retarded brother, Bridge.

drat. I was just wondering this morning if I could sync libraries across computers, but that'd have to be done nightly probably and has obvious limitations.

The Jefferson Memorial, all alone except for one sole speck of a man. While in a way snubbed from the Mall of monuments, it lacks distractions and thus it�s presence becomes even grander.
