From a fairytale?

I think planning to be in the right place at the right time and knowing the settings on your camera play a big part in these quality pics :shrug:
 
Ok I am a newbie as well but I am sure someone will mention HDR in a minute. Regards Kentman
 
I wish I could take photos like that.:(

I am guessing a couple of seconds exposure and some good light from sunset, then maybe a play with the levels. Not sure about HDR though, I'm sure someone more experienced will come along soon.:thinking:
 
If I had to guess, dawn/dusk light, tiny apertures, possibly even aided by some filters to allow longer exposures so the swirling water round the base of the cliffs turns to that misty look without any over exposure problems.

Biggest task is finding a place to set up a tripod where the camera can see such a scene to begin with, so knowing the area.
 
easily done with no post processing. Just use the camera properly. It is a learning curve and best to be done by trial and error and researching. The fun and feeling of achievement is lost if people hold your hand.

:thinking: Hmmm.... not sure I agree with you. About the 'hand holding' thing that is. One of the many advantages to this forum is lots of people that share not only their photo's, but their knowledge....and for a complete beginner there is no harm in a few pointers, you still get a sense of achievement when you get the shot you want.....
 
Low iso, tripod, neutral density filters, high contrast/saturation settings in camera.

Above all else though, it's the time of day and quality of light that make these images stand out. That and eye for a good composition.


Some people have an annoying/enviable knack of turning up anywhere and being able to milk a bloody good photo out of the location because they look at the quality of the light and have an eye for what is compositionaly strong.

Have a look for guides about composition and low light shooting techniques and you'll be halfway there. The rest is just effort and a lot of dodgy images on the way to that first one that makes you think 'I've cracked it now'

HTH?
