One of my favorite shoots :ford:

How did you achieve these shots?

How did you achieve these shots?

With a very talented photographer :headbonk: I'll get you more details on the camera and what was used

One of our latest photoshoots

I've got almost 1000 photos unprocessed now. Lucky enough, we bought 2 hotels in Alaska. (Salmon Falls Resort, Edgewater Inn) I handle all the ad photos for our hotels.

Holy shit.

Mr. Chorizo, your pics are great as always. What setting do you shoot in typically? Neural, standard? Do you bump any settings in camera like contrast or sharpness?

I would assume he's probably shooting custom white balance on neutral and doing all of his work in RAW post shoot since he mentioned having 1000 photos unprocessed.

probably, plus hdr and combining multiples of the same shot. looking great though.

I do it too, so don't take this wrong. But just once, I would like to see a waterfall picture that does not have a 2 second shutter speed

We as photographers are so in love with the blurry water I think it is over done. Next time I am out, I am going to fire off some 1,000th/sec shots just to be different.

That is something I never considered. Im not talking about processing them on the computer, I'm referring to the baseline setting in the camera, something not often talked about. So would it be considered "processed" if I adjust color saturation, sharpness, and contrast in my camera, not sure what that's called "custom setting"? So the SOOC (straight out of camera) images were bumped from neutral. Not putting them through any post processing software, I've always considered these "unprocessed". This can change the image results after it is subjected to post processing because your baseline photo was already tweaked before it came out of the camera.

Thoughts?

I don't know of any professional photographer that wants the camera making decisions for them which is why they/we all shoot in RAW and do post processing. There are a ton of settings you can have the camera do and spit out a jpg that's going to be ok, but the control you have over information in post will always be better than trying to make in camera adjustments. Now there's a ton of stuff with how it's focusing and focus points or servo mode you can setup for situational shooting and save for custom settings so that you aren't having to readjust everything depending on what you're shooting. So C1, C2, C3 on your dial you would assign C1 for sports, C2 for portraits and C3 for say weddings or something.

Most photographers just bracket and merge in post rather than dealing with in camera settings, at least that I know. The idea is the most information as possible in your RAW file to edit one way or another, so you want it very neutral.

Frozen water isn't very pretty vs moving water. That's why it's always done.
