Scottish Highlands

      

A recent trip to the Highlands of Scotland on a photography course with the excellent Billy Currie. Here I'm using exposure bracketing rather than my usual use of grad filters.

Superb images - I love the muted colours in the second shot, and the first one has a great tonal range and beautiful smoothing effect in the clouds :thumb:

When you say exposure bracketing, do you mean shooting several exposures with "normal" +n, -n, +n.5, -n.5, etc. ?

a variety of my stuff can be found here......

Thanks - yes - normal (0), -2, +2 and then HDR merge in Lightroom. I had some trouble on location in M mode when doing auto bracketing with the aperture getting changed - whioch is certainly not what I was after. So I reverted to manual bracketing on the tripod until we were back in WiFi area to have a quick look online to see that it was a setting of the green button. Working manually did have it's advantages as on one occasion 0,-2,+2 wasn't enough and I needed 0, -2.7 & +2.7. With a 3 bracket the max movement from 0 is 2.0 - once I had the aperture fixed with the green button setting I soon discovered that a 5 bracket could extend beyond the +-2 constraint of the 3 bracket. The benefit of the auto bracketing (aside from not having to touch the camera) is that the shots are taken in tidy groups - which LR can then recognise as a stack based on shooting time. :thumb:

First one works really well for me. As lennybloke said, great tonal range.
Good shooting. :thumb:

It does seem odd that we are only allowed up to +/- 2 EV when bracketing 3 shots, when the camera's own 3-shot HDR mode can be set up to +/-3 EV.

I agree with others here - lovely images.

Cheers.

Love the first shot. Loads of depth, and the addition of the boots is a nice touch. :)

Particularly nice image with a gulf between them in terms of variation of theme. Makes me want to see a lot more from this set. (I hope there is more?)
