wow, amazing, thanks! you hit on my fav thing to take pics of.

i used to take pics regularly. my fav scene was overlooking a wilderness area along a dam, with the sun setting over the horizon. and clouds, lots of clouds, with the sun peeking through in different ways.

Thank you for sharing. The Photoshop work done to many of those shots is pretty darned talented work.

I thought they were too pretty to be real also. I researched a few of them, through the National Geographic website and a couple of others that I can't remember. It was yesterday, and I have slept since then!.

I also shared them with a friend, who is a retired photographer from the Navy, and he explained to me how the lenses used can intensify colors.

Why do you think they are photoshopped? I know you are a photographer, so maybe you see something we are missing?

With digital photography, it now goes way beyond using filters on lenses. If you google HDR photography, you will see some awesome stuff. It's just a way of using a computer, and different camera settings, to take it all to a whole new level.

Personally, I think HDR is getting to the point of being over 'done' and I am kinda just.....over it. But it is a great tool, especially with the sort of photos in your link. Blue sky can be a real bugger.

A lot of them, very little, but perhaps, some curves changed and who knows where objects may have been removed, added, etc.

When I say curves, I mean changing things like brightness, contrast, ramping up a colour or down. Lots of things that can be very subtle but take a good photo and make it great.

Gotcha. Seems nothing is good enough as it is nowadays, whether they are taking an inch off a model on a magazine cover or fixing an imperfect cloud.

Progress.

ppfftthhhh

Skies and mountains are my favourites. I now have a new desktop 'wallpaper'. Thanks!
