Most of my landscape photos are really really boring and I wonder what all the good landscape photographers do .... .<br /><br />I don't use a tripod (rarely, only for macros) - it's me who has to schlepp all the gear. And I am not sure if I am patient enough to set up a tripod and and and ... . I am still looking for an affordable light and robust one. So far I use a gorilla pod for macros.<br /><br />HDR - real HDR is very nice (I am not patient enough ... ) but I do not like the pseudo HDRs that are in fashion so much. These oversaturated overcontrasted things you see everywhere. Not my cup of tea. I like good and creative post processing, though, like on the Lenola Daily blog, but that's something different.Martinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04771625000856319335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23343864055670773.post-42718384655918950052010-09-01T02:20:49.053+02:002010-09-01T02:20:49.053+02:00Thanks for the link to Austria - the hills are ali...Thanks for the link to Austria - the hills are alive.<br /><br />Landscapes are so hard - aren't they? The best photographers on earth have been taking pictures of landscapes for more than a hundred years. They have more practice. That's one reason I throw my camera in the air and take pictures.<br /><br />I still think the lake in this one is awesome. I've never used a tripod nor tried HDR but I think that - these days - it's something I should learn to do (I mean HDR - I'm pretty sure a tripod is easy to master).-menoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23343864055670773.post-6859563699042182432010-08-31T22:51:24.711+02:002010-08-31T22:51:24.711+02:00Thank you -me - I am not so confident with/about m...Thank you -me - I am not so confident with/about my landscapes, really.
