ETTR vs. HDR 

Wenn ihr schon das ein oder andere Mal an den Rand­zeiten des Tages foto­gra­fiert habt, dann werdet ihr die Situa­tion sicher kennen. Magi­sches Licht oder inten­sive Farben im Himmel. Ihr nehmt ein paar Aufnahmen auf, schaut auf das Display, und denkt, klasse das passt. Zuhause am Rechner seht ihr dann das Dilemma. Ihr habt zu dunkel foto­gra­fiert. In den Schatten sumpft das Bild ziem­lich ab, wirkt unscharf und noch dazu völlig verrauscht. Und das bei ISO 100, wieso denn das?
In diesem BLOG / VLOG stelle ich euch zwei relativ einfache Aufnah­me­tech­niken vor, die sofort zu besserer Qualität eurer Land­schafts­fo­to­gra­fien führen. Einfach deshalb, weil sie relativ schnell umzu­setzen sind und leicht zu erlernen sind. Man muss sich eben nur die Zeit nehmen und ein paar kleine Dinge beachten.

Simple tips to get more out of your forest photos 

Heute habe ich nicht mal einen Wecker gebraucht. Ich bin recht­zeitig aufge­wacht, habe mich ange­zogen, das Foto­equip­ment gepackt, ins Auto gestiegen und los. Bereits gestern Abend versprach der Wetter­be­richt, dass die Bedin­gungen passen werden. Dichter Nebel sogar in den Wäldern möglich. Außerdem damp­fende Wasser­ober­fläche, viel­leicht auch ein wenig Himmels­fär­bung, etc. Egal wie, irgendwas wird schon dabei sein. Ich hatte eine Loca­tion geplant, die ich schon häufig besucht hatte. Ein See im Wald. Eigent­lich kann nichts schief gehen. Doch was ich dann vorfand, war alles andere als ein easy-going.

A high­light for land­scape photo­graphers in Germany 

All good things come in threes. I still have unfi­nished busi­ness here in the Oden­wald, in this gorge. I have been here twice before, wanting to capture the beauty of this impres­sive gorge. But twice it didn’t work out. Once there was simply no water in the gorge because I had waited too long after the rainy days. Another time, there were simply too many hikers there and I couldn’t really get into my stride as a photo­grapher. The only pictures I took were ones I wasn’t happy with. My hopes were now pinned on attempt number 3.

Das Poten­tial von Ligh­t­room-Masken richtig nutzen 

In diesem Beitrag gibt es ein ausführ­li­ches Tuto­rial über die Masken in Ligh­t­room.

Deshalb geht es dieses mal etwas mehr um Masken-Basics, aber viel­leicht ist auch der ein oder andere Tipp für die bereits erfah­renen Ligh­t­room-Nutzer unter euch dabei.

Fine art or fake art land­scape photography? 

Land­scape photo­graphy – it shows us the beauty of nature in impres­sive images. But not all land­scape photos are the same! Some images look like perfect snapshots, others almost like pain­tings. What is the diffe­rence? And is too perfect simply fake? In today’s post, I’ll explain what the addi­tion of ‘fine art’ means, how you can reco­g­nise fine art photo­graphy and how it differs from normal land­scape photo­graphy! Be sure to read to the end to find out why it’s not decep­tion, but art.

The power of selec­tive masks 

Ansel Adams did it, so why shouldn’t we? We’re talking about selec­tive adjus­t­ments. In recent years, Adobe has perfected selec­tive masks in Ligh­t­room. The possi­bi­li­ties are enormous and diverse. But it hasn’t neces­s­a­rily become any easier. In this BLOG/VLOG, I provide an insight into editing with selec­tive masks. See for yourself.

Nether­lands classics 

Oh man, what’s wrong with my timing? Pheno­menal golden light shines on the land­scape in front of me. I look at my car’s spee­do­meter. I’m already going a little too fast. And there are speed cameras ever­y­where here in the Nether­lands. Two more turns. Damn, another red light. Maybe it’ll stay red for another 10 minutes, who knows. Just a few more metres and I’ll reach the car park, but then the great light was gone. But the clouds look promi­sing. Don’t give up too soon, I thought to myself, and we set off along the path past these beau­tiful wind­mills in the Netherlands.

Wood­land photo­graphy at twilight 

I recently spent a few days travel­ling with my family in the Nether­lands and disco­vered a lovely little forest with some inte­res­ting trees close to the beach. However, the weather during those days was a bit unpre­dic­table. It was either pure suns­hine or pouring rain. Neither of these condi­tions encou­raged me to go outside and take photos in the forest. How could I still get some great shots? Then I had an idea. I’ll go when the sun isn’t bothe­ring me. Blue, diffuse, mystical. In this blog/vlog, I’ll show you why the blue hour is an under­rated time for forest photography.

One lens for everything 

FOMO – Fear of missing out. I think we all know what that is, right? Some­times it’s really bad for me. When the weather is great and I have to work or I have other plans, I get it – the fear of missing out on the perfect shot. That’s why I quickly expanded my lens coll­ec­tion. It ranges from 16 mm to 400 mm. Now it even goes up to 600 mm. With a tele­con­verter, that’s actually 1200 mm. I usually have ever­y­thing with me so I don’t miss a shot. What happens? Some­times you miss the shot anyway. Chan­ging lenses takes time. Setting out with only one focal length helps crea­ti­vity; it’s limi­ting on the one hand, but it gives you freedom on the other. If I had to give up all my lenses except one, which one would I keep?

Incre­dibly diverse — the dune land­scape of the Netherlands 

Phew… I worked up a sweat again. I had already realised that the condi­tions were going to be fanta­stic that evening. I had scouted out a spot, but hadn’t had time to check it out yet. It should actually be fine if I get there early and have a look around. However, I hadn’t reckoned with my children and so — as a father of two — I ended up with less time than I had hoped. But see/read for yourself.
