xzzy posted:I don't really have a suggestion, I think the current aspect ratio is the best choice. But if I was there I probably would have angled the camera a couple degrees left to avoid including it. But maybe the scene wouldn't allow that, I wasn't there.  I think keeping the aspect but coming in on the bottom and right makes for a better comp. You cut out the extra trees, center the two main ones, and still get some of that crazy texture at the bottom. Also, why did adobe make saving a simple JPEG such a stupidly long process now in photoshop? Jesus.

Semi agree, could come down a bit at the top but i really liked where the trees were in frame originally Real answer is obviously to go back and shoot it again!

Wide or long landscapes aren't better or worse, but wide is vastly overdone because that's the lenses almost everyone has. Even with high end glass, wide angle is a lot cheaper. I do agree wide is a lot harder to fill the frame correctly with. Wide generally gives a better sense of scale when done well, and can feel more visceral since it is closer to our natural FOV. Shooting long on landscapes does give you an entirely new perspective, since it is so different than what our eyes see. It lets you easily isolate your subjects and draw focus a lot more directly too. The results generally stand out more in the crowded field of wide shots. theHUNGERian posted:28 mm: I tend to like landscape shots like this the most though, where you could tell me it was taken at 24mm or 200mm and both seem plausible. Too often the ultra-wide shots are more about the extreme angle than the content, and super long (400+) looks too compressed.

 I think this is the most interesting part of the scene. I don’t think there’s much use trying to tinker and analyze that shot too much beyond cropping out a lot of the clutter in the frame. I assume it was a “hey the sunset looks really good now” shot without much thought for the composition and foreground beyond that? My advice would be to go shoot a sunset again but compose the entire shot beforehand to compliment the sky and not just be busy filler in most of the frame.

I like the wider better too but move your horizon either up or down and crop off the top or bottom.

That’s much better. I don’t think I have seen any use of sepia on digital files that ever looked good vs just B&W.

blue squares posted:So good! What aperture did you use? They look so sharp from front to back. Or multiple photos blended? Clayton Bigsby posted:Love these and geeze they are sharp as hell. I know we don't discuss much gear here, but I am a bit curious what you shot these with. Those were on a Nikon D750 and 85 1.8 all at f/8. The middle one is a pano of about 5 images. xzzy posted:My only comment is the top one has a fencepost along the bottom edge (left of center) that looks like an eyelash fell on a negative. Oh my god I hate you for pointing that out.

 I've yet to find a stitching solution that can handle powerlines. Tried 4 different programs, might have to dig out the PC and use the old Microsoft ICE for this shot. Wanted to get it before the sun was down but it was raining and the sign wasn't on. Might try again with a longer focal length, but I also like how tiny it is in that space.  100% crop Bottom Liner fucked around with this message at 02:17 on Feb 7, 2024 |

Mostly just handheld, but I have toyed with the idea of getting a dedicated head for it since I do them often enough. The problem is I'm usually not carrying a tripod or even a bag that could carry one, often just on my bike with the camera in the handlebar bag. I'd say Lightroom handles it fine 90% of the time, but that 10% is a massive pain that mostly kills the shot. Viginti Septem posted:Re: power lines. How many photos are you taking for that stitch? That was 4 shots, but I did one with 8 for more overlap and it had even worse breaks in the lines. Using a calculator, that shot comes out to the equivalent of a 27mm f/0.7 shot which is cool.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_q9i_HEOkxo Super informative video going in depth with how lighting and sunsets work. Most of it is a good explanation of things we know intuitively, but some of it is very counter-intuitive and will be very helpful in future shooting (like light getting harsher even as it dims after the sun sets). I never considered that being the case with the sun even though it works exactly the same with strobes. I just assumed the atmospheric diffusion would outweigh that effect, but cool to see examples of the opposite. Bottom Liner fucked around with this message at 20:54 on Feb 16, 2024 |

They all work together but I think they’d all be improved with the more dynamic lighting of the one with the bright sun + shadow falling on it. Or all completely flat but boosted exposure so the colors pop out a little.

     I was in downtown Tallahassee shooting news photos of the tornado aftermath and I looked up and saw it. The power was out in most of the city so I was able to get some shots of it with little light pollution. It moved fast though. Still can't believe my first aurora was in fuckin' Florida
