Exploring New Zealand and four essential steps to recover the vibrance of the scene! With - Winner Best of the Week 8 at / “My winning photo was taken during a quick stop on my way to Mt. Cook - see pic. 1. I had driven nearly five hours that morning hoping to get to this view during sunrise.

I had a whole list of photos in mind, but in typical photography fashion, few of them panned out. Instead, I had more time than expected to find where this photo was taken. No cars were driving by, the air was cool but calm, and the magenta hues painting the scene seemed to float.

This composition was the natural one to take. In this case, the road was idyllic and added to the scene in many ways. It also served as a perfect leading line towards the mountain. It’s a bit of a classic shot, but the light and atmosphere made it feel original.

The photo edit was quite minimal. The light was vibrant but soft in the first place, and all I did was clean up the scene. I did remove a few distractions (some road signs and mile markers), but otherwise, I didn’t push this photo very far.

In every photo I edit, I add a small degree of softness to the image through the Orton effect, a slight drop in clarity, and a low-brightness light flare, predominantly a negative dehaze effect that softens part of the scene. The most vital steps in editing this image were:

1) Boosting the exposure as the scene was badly underexposed when I first took the photo. I missed my exposure, likely because my eyes were adjusted to the scene and I underestimated how dark it was.

2) Cleaning up the noise through a little Denoise in Lightroom.

3) Boosting the vibrance of the scene.

4) In the last step, I introduced local brightness and negative dehaze to highlight the sunrise over Mt. Cook. Tell us! What do you think about the result? : Congratulations ! ✨ You can read the original article with Sam by visiting the link in our bio!

Simple steps to create a dreamy look with masking and color grading! With .z__ - Scroll to find the steps and learn about the editing process! / “My inspiration comes from the community, from wondering how the people who inspire me create their work. Eventually, I realized I could also try to create something beautiful, so I used my imagination to show my vision. Here is a little bit more about my creative process nowadays and some of my most valuable tips: 

1) I always try to find beautiful places and learn more about weather, moon phases, and stars to make my photos look more dreamy. For that, I need professional equipment. I use a Sony a7iv and a Sigma DG DN 24-70 lens. I like the black mist filters to make my photos look more dreamy, with soft light. 

2) I emphasize the dark colors in my images to add a moody vibe to the scene while highlighting the bright parts for a positive feeling. However, I like to keep the colors as natural as possible. 

3) I start with the basic tools to adjust the light and shadows of my photos - see image 3 in this series.  

4) For a cinematic look, I adjust the tone curves first - see image 4. 

5) Next comes the most crucial part of my workflow. I use ‘Masking’ to recover lights, shadows, and highlights. This tool is my favorite part. The main reason is that without masking, there is a limitation to bringing back exposure/highlights/shadows in certain parts of the image. With masking, I can make my editing flow smoother without constraints. 

As mentioned, I wanted to make the photo look dreamy and show the cold conditions, so I used a ‘Radial gradient’ in the bottom section to add a hazy look. Then, I used a ‘Linear-gradient’ on the top and bottom and dropped slightly the exposure to make it darker. 

6) Lastly, the final touch comes with color grading - see step 3.” 🎨 : We hope you found this explanation useful!

A complementary color palette to keep developing your editing style! With / Combining the colors in this image can help you create a harmonious and balanced palette with a range of warm and cool tones. The reddish-brown (C36E55) and warm brownish-orange (BA8269) provide warmth and richness, while the deep blue-green (1C5069), dark blue-gray (1B2D3D), and muted teal (3E6A70) add depth and contrast.

By balancing the warm and cool tones and ensuring that they complement each other, this palette creates a visually appealing and cohesive image with a dynamic interplay of colors: 

1) C36E55 is a medium-dark tone with hints of red and orange. This color evokes feelings of warmth, earthiness, and coziness. It’s a versatile color that can be used as a dominant hue or accent to complement other colors, adding warmth and depth to a palette. 

2) BA8269 is a soft, earthy tone that blends elements of brown and orange. It evokes a sense of warmth, comfort, and naturalness. Overall, BA8269 is a versatile and appealing color choice that can add depth and character to your compositions.

3) 1C5069 is a rich and intense color that blends elements of blue and green, leaning more towards the blue spectrum, like a navy or midnight teal. In terms of emotions and associations, this color can evoke feelings of depth, mystery, and tranquility. It’s often associated with the ocean or the vast expanse of the night sky. When used in small quantities, 1C5069 can add a striking contrast or a sense of depth to a color palette. 

4) 1B2D3D is a deep, almost charcoal-like color with hints of blue undertones, like slate blue or gunmetal. This color can evoke stability, seriousness, strength, and reliability. It can serve as a sophisticated background color or an accent to complement brighter hues. 

5) Lastly, 3E6A70 is a soft, medium-dark tone with a balance of blue and green undertones, like a dusty teal or a subdued aqua. This color can evoke feelings of tranquility, harmony, and serenity. This soothing hue can create a sense of balance and relaxation, ideal for creating a calming atmosphere!

Combining minimalism and scale with a once-in-a-lifetime eclipse! With - Winner Best of the Week 12 at / “Growing up in Morocco, I always had a passion for refined visuals and was fascinated by understanding the unspoken techniques behind compelling compositions. I then used these creations as a vessel to understand stories and emotions, leading me to capture some of my most unique experiences, including the first image of this series - the winning shot! 

I planned this photo a few months ago. Me and my friend Mat hiked a few mountains around Montreal and on the eclipse course during the winter, but none was high enough and with enough clearance for the shot I envisioned. We had to drive almost 3 hours outside of the city to find a mountain allowing us a clean composition with the eclipse framing the subject.

Minimalistic photography is what I strive to achieve in my photography, and a subject in my compositions is almost crucial to convey the scale. Combining these elements with a once-in-a-lifetime magnificent eclipse sounded like a dream mission to me! 

On location, I aimed to highlight the remarkable 2.5 minutes of totality, during which the environment became significantly darker due to the compressed eclipse, achieved with a 500mm lens and x2 extender. While I tried to preserve the natural colors of the eclipse, I made slight color adjustments to enhance warmth on the bleeding side of the eclipse.

In this sense, I used a preset I’ve customized and regularly refined according to my preferences. Next, I focused on removing distractions and enhancing the photo to ensure the viewer’s attention is drawn naturally to the main subject. Additionally, applying a subtle vignette and using a denoiser as a final touch helped me achieve the desired result.

Two valuable lessons have helped me reach my artistic level and this special photo. Surround yourself with creative like-minded individuals and if the occasion presents itself, do not hesitate to push a little bit more than where you were supposed to stop, this is where the difference gets created and sets you apart!” Congratulations ! ✨

Exploring the relationship between how humans evolved to perceive color, hue perception, and photography! With / The human eye is a highly intricate organ with many processes and components. Evolutionary scientists believe in Darwin’s argument that the human eye formed over millions of years through natural selection.

Color perception has been advantageous for survival and reproductive success throughout human evolution by facilitating efficient foraging, predator avoidance, social communication, and environmental adaptation. For example, color cues help navigate the environment and find resources such as water.

We perceive color thanks to our visual system, including the eye’s structure and the brain’s processing mechanisms. Our eyes contain specialized cells called cones that detect different wavelengths of light, allowing us to discern a spectrum of colors. This biological foundation shapes our perception of color and informs the techniques and technologies used in photography. For example, white balance adjustments and color calibration tools aim to reproduce colors accurately and consistently to match human perception as closely as possible.

Thus, since photography is deeply rooted in human perception and vision, understanding color perception can help create compelling images. Principles such as color theory and lighting to manipulate hues and evoke specific emotions come in handy. Let’s use images 5 and 6 for our example: 

While both images feature peaks, the lighting is different, ultimately affecting the colors. If you compare the images, which color palette conveys a greater sense of peace or energy in your opinion?

According to color theory, image 5, with its cooler tones and subdued colors, conveys a greater sense of peace. The shades of blue (3B5170, 889AAE) and neutral tones (B8BDB8, 0A0C14) create a tranquil atmosphere reminiscent of serene landscapes or quiet moments.

Image 6, on the other hand, with its warmer tones and bolder contrasts, suggests power, energy, and action. The golden hue (EFD990), earthy greens (85896C, 4D5245), and vibrant yellow (F4C96E) evoke a sense of dynamism, vitality, and movement.

Seven insights to create landscape photos with dark greenish hues, low saturation, and medium luminance! With / “I’ve been taking pictures for about 15 years. Initially, it was just snapshots of our travels, meant only as memories. Over time, it became more professional, and I started paying more attention to moods and perspectives. 

1) The mood of the locations and pictures is significantly influenced by the time of day and the weather. Thus, the sun is never desirable for the palettes that define my style, as it casts harsh shadows. I therefore plan to take photos at sunrise or sunset. 

2) Weather conditions are also crucial here. Fog or rain helps immensely to create a dense atmosphere in my pictures. So I always welcome “bad” weather. 

3) Since I am using these two factors (the sun’s position and the weather) to set the lighting conditions for my images, in post-production I always try not to distort the colors of the original location too much. Instead, I focus on enhancing the earthy tones. 

4) Thus, the hues (colors) of my pictures are determined by the factors mentioned above. So, they depend on the wavelength of light reflected on the landscape, and this is how the low saturation levels are achieved naturally. 

5) I also like to use noise and negative values for clarity and dehaze to create a dreamy look, which results in medium luminance. 

6) Masking is also an essential tool for my work. I always use these functions. I save all the basic settings except the exposure as a preset so that I can apply them to my next images. Although this still requires adjustments, it allows me to maintain a consistent style.

7) Lastly, and for your reference, you can find the color palette of the second image below. I hope it inspires you to try this photography style! 

272B28: A dark greenish-gray color. 
44524E: A darker shade of grayish-green. 
DED9D7: A light gray color with a hint of warmth.
AEA7A1: A medium gray with a slight taupe undertone. 
797B78: A darker shade of grayish-green.” 🌳📸

30/04/2024

The influence of glacial processes on sediment transport in Icelandic rivers and its implications for landscape photography! With / : “Nowhere in the world is freshwater of equal profusion per capita as in Iceland (over two-thirds of a million m3 per capita per year).

Most of this water, both groundwater and surface water, originates from glaciers covering approximately 10% of Iceland’s surface. Consequently, most of the largest rivers in Iceland are glacially derived and transport great amounts of sediment within their course from the glaciers towards the ocean.” (Jórunn Hardardóttir & Árni Snorrason, 2023).

So, glaciers play a key role in shaping channel morphology and sediment transport dynamics, creating changing landscapes that serve as prime subjects for photography. These river changes offer new photography opportunities, especially if you focus on color:

For example, the rapid melting of glacier ice during summer months intensifies sediment delivery to downstream channels, leading to high sediment loads and dynamic riverbed adjustments. These suspended sediments give rivers a milky appearance, resulting in a characteristic light gray or milky blue color.

Glacier rivers from ice-covered glaciers, such as Vatnajökull, may exhibit a brighter blue due to light scattering by suspended glacial flour particles.

Furthermore, Iceland’s volcanic activity contributes to a diverse range of minerals, including iron oxides, which can impart reddish or brownish hues to the water in certain regions.

Icelandic glacier rivers also experience seasonal fluctuations in color, with variations in meltwater discharge and sediment load. During the summer months, when glacial meltwater flow is at its peak, Icelandic rivers may appear more turbid and milky due to increased sediment transport. In contrast, during winter or periods of reduced meltwater flow, the sediment load may decrease, resulting in clearer water with a bluer hue.

Capturing the fleeting beauty of glacial sediment cascading through Icelandic rivers and highlighting the interplay between ice, water, and rock could be quite an exciting and creative project! Don’t you think?

Creating a sense of scale using the layers of nature! With  / “I had just woken up from camping near Mount Baker and began walking up to the fire lookout. On the trail, I turned around and saw this incredible view of Glacier Peak, with the layers of mountains and haze in the distance. Since then, the first image of this series has become one of my favorites. The layers enhance its beauty, demonstrating why camping and the liberty it provides is a superb method for landscape photography.

Typically, the layers of nature are more visible during the early morning and late afternoon when the sun is low on the horizon, casting long shadows that accentuate the contours of the landscape. So, if you can camp close to your favorite subjects and capture them during sunrise or sunset, your images will likely look way better.

The visibility of nature’s layers can also be affected by weather conditions. The layers will be more visible on clear days with minimal haze or fog. The season can also play a role. In the fall, for example, the changing colors of the leaves in the forest can create a beautiful contrast against the surrounding landscape, making the layers more visible.

In this sense, while shooting on location, to form the backdrop, far-off mountains or hills are interesting. For the middle layer, seek out tree groupings, hills at intermediate distances, groups of objects, rivers, or lakes - see pics 1, 2, and 3. If you have a body of water in the foreground, altering your viewpoint may enable you to observe a reflection of your subject, which can generate further intrigue - see pics 4, 5, and 6.

For the front layer, try using rocks, grass, or a person—compare pics 5 and 6. If you place an object in the foreground, you can add weight and balance to your image - especially when you change your perspective by getting lower, as demonstrated in pictures 7 and 8.

The thing I love most about camping is waking up before the sunrise. It is always a serene experience and a great way to start the day! Don’t you think?” 🏕️

Translating science into a universal language! With .leong - Winner Best of the Week 10 at / “Like many others, I wasn’t born into this. Photography had never even crossed my mind when I was young. It began when I was in a bad place and felt like a lot was going wrong. When it was time to get back on my feet, I let my heart decide what I should pursue instead of what everyone else thought I should. That’s when I felt compelled to spend more time in nature. Photography came shortly after. I loved the vast landscapes, fragile ecosystems, and intimate moments. It sparked the creative side I needed to share with the world.

Ever since I took my first shot, it’s been an unexplainable feeling at times. Whenever I have the camera in my eye, I can only describe it as a feeling of “I’m home.” I was supposed to do it. Not only that, but I also studied geology and biology at university. 

As a geologist/biologist, I needed to be more effective. If I could translate science into a universal language everyone could understand, I could create a meaningful yet lasting impact. That’s where art can act as a bridge of empathy and understanding. Art and love are essentially the same; it is the process of seeing yourself in things that aren’t you. We cannot care for something we don’t understand; that’s why photography is important. I want to be the voice for the places and animals that can’t communicate. 

Following this path is how I eventually captured my winning shot - see pic. 1. This trip to the coast allowed me to travel to a legendary place. We were blessed by the weather every night, with little clouds and many clear nights to stargaze. I love staying up late because it is a time when you truly feel connected with yourself and the land. Astrophotography also gives an ethereal sense and evokes many emotions, so I couldn’t pass up pristine shooting conditions!” Congratulations .leong!

23/04/2024

Capturing the interplay between light and shadow for better landscape photography! With / Photography is all about light, but it is also about the spaces where light is not present. The shapes created by shadows can add depth and interest to your photos, sometimes becoming the main focus, and when used creatively, shadows can turn everyday scenes into captivating works of art! Here are some insights and tips for using shadows so you can keep enhancing your landscape photography:

1) Shadows can convey a sense of time and place, shaping the story and mood of your images. For example, a long shape tells you a lot about the shooting time, while its shape also brings a mystic aura to the photograph.

2) Shadows have the power to transform ordinary scenes as they can cast everyday objects in a new and intriguing light. This transformative effect is one of the reasons why shadow play is crucial in minimalist photography, where simple black-and-white compositions often use shadows as negative space.

3) What makes a good shadow? Longer shadows that extend away from objects are generally more appealing, as they indicate a lower sun position. Crisp shadow edges are ideal, showing clear sunlight without interference from clouds.

4) Understand the direction of the light, as it greatly influences how your shadows appear. Early mornings and golden hours in the evening offer the perfect conditions for capturing long shadows.

5) Consider the positioning and direction of shadows. Ideally, you don’t want shadows falling toward you; they should extend in an arc away from the camera, from hard left to hard right.

6) Shadows reveal details about an object’s spatial dimensions, adding depth to a photograph and compensating for the 2D effect. So you can use the shadows to add three-dimensionality to your images.

7) In this sense, adjust your camera settings for better shadow depth. To achieve deep, rich shadows, expose for the highlights. Shoot manually since your camera may try to balance exposure by brightening the darker areas. Lastly, keep your ISO low to avoid lifting the shadows excessively.

Simple steps to create a holistic experience as a landscape photographer! With  / “I do not believe in one simple rule for a great shot. Photography is an art, and every photo is beautiful in its own way. However, I am into minimalistic compositions, especially if they have a meaning behind them.

In this regard, I think minimalism is the key to capturing stunning landscapes and the mantra I have followed since I started my journey. Having one beautiful scenery, a subject or companion for scale and a tad of instinct will help you get a solid shot.

Then, while editing, the balance between nativeness and bearing my trademark on the photo is the most important to me. My shots should represent my style and keep the natural beauty without creating an artificial copy.
 
My editing process starts by adjusting the dimensions of the photo. Basic adjustments in highlights, shadows, and contrast follow next, and then I apply slight adjustments in the tone curve to enrich the scene.

Next is color grading - I like saturated coloring but still try to keep the picture as close to my memories as possible to avoid a synthetic look. I finalized the editing process with some filters to set the stage and expose the highlights of my shots. I use Photoshop to minimize disturbances if I still spot some unsettled elements. Lastly, I always compare the edited photo with my overall feed to create a holistic experience and ensure a seamless transition between pictures (See the before and after, pics 9 and 10).

Concerning photography, my most significant challenge was to appreciate advice and criticism. Also, it has not always been easy to remain consistent with my style - but it made me who I am today, and I am grateful for every experience on that journey.

We live in such a fast-paced environment, and everything changes so fast. But the outdoors remains my happy place - it is where I create my most valuable memories, and I want to encourage others to do the same. Go outside - enjoy the things you love the most!” 🥾🌳

Four tips to develop your style step by step! With / Start by defining your first color palette, keeping color theory in mind. 

1) Test your color scheme in your favorite scenes and share it with the world. 

For example, image six features an older palette from 2018. The dominant shades of light blue (C5D8F3) and soft green (78815F) evoke the tranquility of the mountain environment, while accents of pale gray (83939C) and mossy green (505544) add depth and contrast. 

2) As you develop your style, don’t be afraid to introduce new colors. 

You could edit the same photo or moment by changing some tones. Picture seven is a good example. While the first palette features lighter and cooler tones, the second palette in picture seven includes darker, warmer tones, like olive green (6D6B3A) and golden yellow (A99E59). These colors have a richer, earthy feel, adding depth and intensity to the scene. 

3) When trying new tones, experiment while keeping a common color. Both palettes share the pale grayish blue (E7EAEB) in the examples presented in slightly different shades as a unifying element that ties the compositions together. 

4) Later, embrace the colors you enjoyed along the way and introduce tones that complement them well. For this step, we are taking image one as an example: 

Pale grayish blue: This color appears consistently across all three images mentioned. 

Neutral tones: Each palette includes a range of neutral tones, such as off-whites, grays, and muted browns. 

Earthy accents: While the specific shades may vary, all three palettes incorporate earthy tones such as olive green and dark brown. 

In terms of evolution, we see the inclusion of muted tones like light grayish blue (A0B5BB), which adds a layer of sophistication to the palette and a harmonious balance between warm and cool tones. 

By retaining these common elements across your color palettes, you maintain a sense of continuity and consistency in your style while allowing for evolution in your color choices. 

This balance between familiarity and innovation ensures that your images remain cohesive and recognizable while reflecting your evolving vision as a photographer! 🎨📸

“A decade of exploration across five continents starts with one simple decision, taking a step in that direction.” With - Winner Best of the Week 4 at / “After university, I worked various jobs and saved up for my first major travel adventure. Determined to see the world, I planned a six-month journey spanning multiple continents. Excitement peaked when I applied for World Cup tickets in Brazil, aiming to add a thrilling experience to my itinerary. However, I received disappointing news while in Thailand. Rather than letting a setback deter me, I made a pivotal decision: I wouldn’t return home. Fast forward a decade, and I’ve explored over 30 countries across five continents, living in four of them along the way. Now, as a permanent resident of Canada, my journey continues to unfold, fueled by a passion for exploration and discovery.

Visiting Volcán de Fuego has long been a dream of mine, so I seized the opportunity to embark on a solo journey to Central America for 11 days the past winter. The trip culminated in my long-awaited visit to the volcano and my winning shot. It was a breathtaking conclusion to an unforgettable journey.

I deliberately chose this composition to maximize the dramatic impact of the volcano’s eruption. The allure of the stars twinkling overhead, juxtaposed with the fiery spectacle of lava soaring through the air and cascading down the volcano’s slopes, promised a truly awe-inspiring image.

In line with my approach to editing, I opted for a minimalist touch, employing just five masks to enhance specific elements of the image: the sky, stars, eruption, and foreground. Rather than manipulating colors extensively, I allowed the natural hues of the scene to shine through.

The deep blue of the sky complemented the fiery tones of the lava. In addition, a crucial step in my editing process was ensuring the lava eruption stood out prominently. I boosted its brightness and clarity while darkening the sky in the background to heighten the contrast, intensifying the scene’s dramatic impact.” Congratulations !

Capturing the interplay between hikers and mountainous landscapes! With .sail_ - Winner Best of Week 32 at / “My greatest joy is found amidst the mountains, camera in hand, where I seek the thrill of the next adventure and the opportunity to immortalize awe-inspiring moments.

In my photographic endeavors, I consistently strive to encapsulate the intricate relationship between hikers and the vast, mountainous landscapes, always emphasizing scale.

Creating depth and perspective is a key facet of my work. This process involves deliberately including elements at various distances from the camera, a technique that brings three-dimensional life into two-dimensional imagery.

For instance, a foreground element like a hill acts as a visual anchor, guiding the viewer’s gaze into the frame while reinforcing a sense of scale. The receding mountain ranges contribute to the depth, inviting the viewer to imagine stepping into the photograph and exploring the expansive scene. This collection of images effectively illustrates this approach, with photos 5 and 7 serving as defining moments in my journey of growth and development.

The fifth image was captured in 2020 en route to Everest Base Camp, where we embarked on a journey into what is known as ‘The Throne Room of the Gods’ within the Khumbu Valley. This particular shot was taken as the renowned Pumori, also referred to as the Daughter of Everest, began to ascend majestically above the ridgeline, marking our elevation gain toward the quaint village of Gorak Shep.

The seventh image transports us to Nepal. One morning, while ascending through a shroud of fog, we were greeted by a surreal spectacle: Cholatse emerged, rising gracefully above the clouds as the mist meandered through the pass beneath its summit.

These photographs collectively narrate my journey as an adventure photographer, illustrating my willingness to confront challenging circumstances - whether it’s navigating high altitudes, enduring extreme cold, or orchestrating underwater compositions, all while holding my breath in pursuit of that perfect shot.”

Two color combinations on the blue spectrum to keep developing your editing style! With / “My design skills came in handy while developing myself in photography; they helped me eventually find my unique style. I like to play with the lights and darks to create a nice mood and contrast. I often incorporate a bit of a fade/gradient to help lead the eye and simplify things. I generally try to keep my images somewhat minimal so there is a clear focus on the main subject. Then pop the ocean blues as my signature color, which you can also notice in the first image of this series.”

: In this fantastic series by , you can find cooler tones, including dark blues and grays, transitioning to lighter blue tones. An interesting comparison in color selection and combination can be made when looking at images two and three. Conceptually, these two images are the same. Soon, you will find out that the main difference lies in one color, clearly visible in the top section of the photos, and the use of darker versus brighter tones.  

The first palette uses a dark charcoal gray (0F1114), contributing to a cooler and more subdued overall tone. In contrast, the second palette uses a lighter, almost white shade color (F0F7FA), introducing a brighter and more neutral starting point for the palette. It is interesting to scroll and compare both images and see how one color can influence so much the same photo. When looking into color theory, here is what blue-white and blue-black can do for your photography:

Blue-White:

Blue-white tones evoke a sense of freshness and clarity, often associated with clear skies and pristine environments. These tones can convey a feeling of tranquility, serenity, and purity, adding a sense of openness and expansiveness to the scene.

Blue-Black:

Blue-black tones create a sense of mystery and depth, evoking feelings of drama, intrigue, and contemplation. These tones also contrast starkly against lighter elements in the scene, emphasizing shapes, textures, and contours.

So, tell us! Which color combination do you enjoy most? Blue-White or Blue-Black?
