A Couple from last weekend...

Captured Exposure

Hi,

I am fairly new to landscape photography, received a camera for christmas.

Here are some from the weekend, I really need to get myself some ND grads or take multiple exposures.

All images taken with the Canon 450D 18-55 Kit Lens

I am a sunrise - sunset person. The first two are great. Love the settings as well as the colors. Others are great too! Congratulations on good job!

#3 and #4 clap #3 being far and away my favorite. Did you try a hilites and shadows adjustment on the others? It might bring some detail out of the shadows (there's a lot of information there if you're shooting RAW.

Excellent job for someone "new to landscapes"
#3 is great but could use a little lightening in the foreground and #1 has a lot of potential if you can pull any detail out of the foreground. All around, nice work!

Nice set. #1 has the beautiful sky with the potential for really great detail in the foreground. If you shot RAW then you could generate a second exposure from the RAW file and blend the two. Or try masking the foreground and lighten that area in Photoshop. Similar with #3.

Hiyas,

I shoot in RAW, did try to adjust the Highlight and Shadows in DPP but it introduced a bit of noise. I never though to try adjusting the image 2 times though and blending those exposures. Might give it a try when I get home tonight.

Thanks!

Nice work. I agree with everyone else re: shadows and exposure. Another important point: you really need to straighten #2 and #3. #2 for sure. And I think #3 is tilted to the right.
