I don't want to invade you guys with pictures of my countryside, but with this one I couldn't resist to show:






(SMC-A 20/2.8, panorama from 28 shots)


Cheers

Oh but you should! I love your landscapes!

Fantastic scene of course - but I would like to see a little more contrast in the high key areas, as they are now the mountains feel to me a little flat.

That is a beautiful landscape!

I would like to see it with just a little bit more sky above the mountain.

Thanks you all for nice comments and good critics ! .. that's how I can improve ...

No apologize Trifox please, this helps a lot ...
Honestly in your version sky is much to saturned for my taste. The rest is just great. Can you tell me exactly what you did in Photoshop (?).

Did you adjusted contrast using curves and then doing colors seperately ? I would like to re-practise the exact steps which you did ... if you allow Wink

Cheers
Tobias

I just tried some seconds to come close to your version ...
It comes close but somehow the details in the rocks worked out more nicely in your version.





Cheers
Tobias

Truly fabulous picture Tobias, I'll never get tired of seeing landscapes like yours, whatever country they come from! Smile. I prefer the original version - the alterations to the sky look too artificial to me.

Can I ask the angle of view from one edge to the other and the number of shots across the width? Something about the perspective looks strange to me, but maybe it's not actually in the picture - only what my eyes are telling me. There seems to be very little subject in the middle distance, and the curve and slope of the path appears a little contorted to me. I'm wondering if this is the result of compressing the angle of view, as happens with a fisheye.

@trifox
... interesting masking what you are doing there. I can learn a lot. I have to practise that on some different shots.

@peterqd
This perspective is indeed very strange if you would know the original scenery there ... everything look very small, crimped in the panorama ...

Here is the full Pano (ca. 180°, a bit more i think, about 50 20mm shots) to give you an idea about the area there,
what I have showed was just a crop ...

I'll post some single frames later on...





Cheers
Tobias

here are 4 single 20mm frames out of the panorama:

No, I don't know this place. Perhaps if I did I could have understood what I am seeing a little better, but your answer helps a lot, thanks. I can imagine the top of the mountain filling the whole frame, and that would create some middle distance. There's a much better feeling of distance in the picture of the walkers on the path and in the last pic. Did you possibly use the distort tool to straighten things up at the sides of the pano?

Alpine scenery and its unique botanical denizens is fantastic to me. These mountains are simply wonderful, and your images always make me feel as if I'm right there!

GREAT work.
