I'm cross posting this from pad because its probably the first landscape shot I've been happy with.



i'm not sure if it's creative effect but the white balance/tint looks a bit wacky too me.

jumping on the iceland bandwagon




I used the tokina 11-16 a lot. It's a good lens for what it is, f/8 is sharp, but f/22 is unusable imo. Lots of ca as well.

That is an amazing photo, especially after taking a look at the bigger one and seeing the details like the people on the cliffs and the birds flying about. But, for me the gradient filter (?) job is very obvious and detracts from it, maybe the adjustment brush would be better to make it a little cleaner. If Dread Head's photos teach us anything, it's that there's no such thing as too much blue :horses:

What do you guys think of full frame vs crop for landscapes? I'm contemplating getting a second hand D700 when the new D700s or whatever comes out.

the horizon on this looks a little off, it kinda bugs me.

this is really cool, the strong green of the moss seem to clash a bit with overall pastel like tones.

another one from iceland. i've started being a bit more aggressive with post, but i'd still like it to look realistic.

I dont think the grass in the foreground really adds anything to the image, except a foreground. Do you have one with out it? Or maybe you couldn't actually get past the grass when you took it?

I was so close to going last year when their bank failed, there was a simultaneous deal on airfare/hotel but I passed on it. I really shouldn't have, I've wanted to go for ages and it likely won't be that cheap again

its still pretty cheap relative to history due to the crisis. i spent a month there in may which i think is a good time to go, the weather isn't too bad and its before the main tourist season

Ah, you guys got me! The awesome wordsmith that I am, I secretly want to be remembered more for my literary impressions and footnotes than my photos.
