Hi all - thanks so much for your help and input. I'm blown away by your help and assistance, even getting your cameras out and trying a few things for me - really hugely appreciated. Now I know there's no simple quick fix and it's not down to limitations with my kit, I'll try everything that...

Hi Sangoma, Massive thanks for taking the time to try a few things with your own 5D - I'm blown away by the helpfulness of this community. I've got plenty to try so I'll get my camera out and go through each of the tings mentioned and see what works best for my process. Realistically I probably...

Wow - thanks so much for the experimentation. My hands are tied somewhat as the photos are supposed to be devoid of any tampering. They are supposed to represent exactly what’s there and how visible a new building will be. If I’m out on site for the day I can quite easily have 500 photos so I’m...

Hi there. Very much appreciate your reply so thank you. I’m an architectural visualiser and the purpose of the photos is to use them as backgrounds for photomontages produced to show proposed developments for architects to include in legal planning documents. My background is in architectural 3D...

Wow thanks for all the replies. I’m definitely aware that my phone camera uses software to boost shadows - I just want to be able to use the photos straight out of my camera without editing each one. I’ve tried changing the picture styles but maybe need to experiment further. My main question...

Hi there. Can anyone recommend a 50mm lens for landscape photography which produces good realistic results. My current lens (Sigma 50mm F/1.4 EX DG HSM) doesn’t do shadows very well and doesn’t replicate the details you see with your eye at all. I know my iPhone has all sorts of extra trickery...
