Bowling ball

Oh, I love this kind of thread! (that's sarcasm)

Eneg, why did you post this image if you are going to tear into the grammer and syntax of all those that respond?


My opinion: Your "painterly" images are over-saturated. The composition, weak. That much is bearable but your demeanor is arrogant and condescending, less tolerable.

Wow Eneg, welcome to TPF ! I love it when new members come on here and show us awesome places we haven't seen before. I can't believe the wilderness is really that blue, that's awesome :thumbup:. Through your HDR you've really shown me a different way to look at forest shots and such. I mean, that shot would've been just any old wilderness shot, but luckily you had a bowling ball with you and you just put two and two together, tossed it out there into that field, and BOOM! BRILLIANT!Your whimsy is inspiring.

You have five posts so far, and each one I've learned a lot from. Some members here get caught up in what "looks good" and what is "technically sound" and void of "major composition and processing errors" like OheyTyler or whatever. I say to heck with him, to heck with the rules, to heck with all of that!

We could really use another sharp eye around here to help us advance our sense of composition, HDR treatment, and the colors of the world!

And lastly, I'll leave you with this poem inspired by you: I never knew about the color blue until I met you.:hugs:

I've been a photographer for over forty years. You grew up in the point, shoot and Photoshop it era. You'll never know what I know about the photographic process.

Grammar.

Well you see very wide angle lenses have very wide coverage and as such they typically present the photographer with a high dynamic range scene (HDR.) I think you're confusing "HDR" with "HDR photograph." For example if you looked at a high dynamic range photograph you'd likely call the photograph "an HDR." I'd call it an HDR photograph.

Hmm, and all this time I thought it was the capability of the sensor that determined the amount of dynamic range captured. Are you sure you're not referring to the Angle of View that an UWA can cover?

As far as the shot presented, the subject is lost or at least inconsequential. With an UWA, you can get very close to the subject and still leave plenty of the environment to tell a story.

Welcome to TPF.

Pro Optic 8mm Fisheye on Nikon D90.

Most scenes shot with extreme wide angle lenses are HDR by nature.

Care to elaborate on that?

I think YOU are confused about what High Dynamic Range means. HDR does NOT equal Wide Field of View.

I think "photographer" is too loose of a term. Perhaps you've been a "person that enjoys taking photos." Or even a "person that actuates shutters."

You're also assuming far too much. You have 9 posts total. I know myself, and that I've progressed through photography with the mentality of "get it right in camera." Not, "botch the exposure and composition, I'll correct it in post" ideology. I'm sure a lot of other people work the same way, you (OP) not included.

I also have my own darkroom, and shoot film photography on occasion. You're the one posting digitally manipulated HDR images, rather than doing it on film, if you'd like to split hairs.

The truth of the matter is, if you have as much photographic experience as you claim to, and you've been an active professional in the field... Your image would have a pleasing composition and a realistic color pallet. Unfortunately, it doesn't. And for that reason, I don't think it's right for you to call yourself anything other than a photographic hobbyist.

Have a great day.

Now that's sarcasm... and egotism. lol

I am always the one that comes to the defense of a new comer when they get attacked, but you are on your own. And you, my friend, are going to get chewed up and spit out on this forum. Remember old Hugh told you so. O Hey Tyler has probably forgotten more about photography than you will ever know. If you have 40 years of photography experience, you’re hiding something.
Good luck

I love it! Please post more photographs.

I daresay NONE of us--even us 'old timers'--will ever know what you "know" about the photographic process. Because what you "know" and reality are not peacefully co-existing.

LOVELY photo of the Lorax trees, by the way! Wonder what kind of bird laid that big blue egg though?

Bizarre extreme colors, nothing close to reality in any part of the world. If you think those are correct colors then it's time to get a new monitor.

If you think those are correct colors, a new monitor is really the LEAST of one's worries. :lmao:

 

[Bynx]

I think this is a little better for color correction but the sky is so far off it needs to be replaced or reshot.

In the HDR forum I would ignore comments like poor composition. Those criticising should be focusing on the HDR and tone mapping aspects of the shot. The rest is your problem. You cant teach someone composition it is just something we have or we dont.

Oh that's right. I forgot composition doesn't matter in HDR images.

Foolish me!
