Inspiring website.

Very nice, i love the water shots further on, i cant tell if he/she added the blue skies but their gorgeous.
 
The link was sent to me by a member of the photography club im in, and he's trying to figure out how some of the shots as so PERFECTLY exposed. It looks like a huge range of the colours are sitting in the midtones. Is this just a very clever use of ND grad filters etc. Or do you think theres been a bit of exposure blending/HDR'ing going on?
 
It looks likey a lot of the 'togs are using MF velvia. That would explain the dynamic range, coupled with proper use of ND grads and some crafty processing. I don't think it's a particular thing they're doing that makes them beautiful, just a sum of many parts. And boy are they good shots. I've just binned my camera ;)
 
A lot of the quality you see comes from the medium used. Shots taken on Fuji Velvia will always be rich in colour and detail, taken on a Pentsx 6x7 camera as well. The man obviously has an eye for the great shot and the luck of the Irish when it comes to lighting, that and enormous patience to wait for the right moment. I don't doubt there has been some pre and post processing but wether it's filters, digital or in the darkroom I have no idea.

/edit I've only looked at the Scottish shots so far, didn't realise it was multiple photographers, but the above still applies.
 
Just been looking at the Canada stuff. I'm going in September :) If I get anything half as good as what is on that site I'll be well pleased.

Edit: most of the shots I just looked at were 5D

Definitely not HDR (heaven forbid) it would ruin them :)

Know Marc Adamus, most of his work was done on film, although recently moved to digital.

The reason why so many of the shots are perfectly exposed is because they are perfectly exposed.

Very little exposure blending, they tend to do what most good photographers do, and get it right in camera, and not rely on the bells and buzzers of photoshop.

Apologies for the rant :) ;)
 
http://www.adam-burton.co.uk/ features a lot on the site. I like his work but sometimes the saturation is a little spanked. Still, fair play to him getting out there at the right time of day. I've been to a fair few of the locations that he's been to (as have most Dorset coast huggers), and quite a few are a scramble to get to. Unfortunately I just missed his exhibition near Verwood.

Looks like you were wrong Les. The guy who gave me the link at the Photography club emailed one of the guys at the site (Ian Cameron I think) and asked him about some of the tehniques, and he said he used a variety of techniques, hdr being amongst them. Im certainly not a fan of HDR normally, but when used subtly to make images like this it can't be a bad thing.
