A little oversaturated on my calibrated monitor.
Good subject matter though.
The uneven, telltale sky of heavy handed polarizer use is visible in the landscapes, with the exception of number 2.
Reds are really hard to control, whether out there, or Utah photography. I've made enough mistakes. However, the top of the Desert Bighorn's head is also reddish, so it makes me think your settings are too saturated in general. Are these originally shot in raw? Or are you using in-camera settings and shooting jpegs? Raw is correctable, but a jpeg will be permanent, which may be important on a three year trip. If you are shooting jpegs, to accumulate a lot of memories without needless processing, I'd check my in-camera settings. Just a suggestion however....Show more →
Craig, thanks for the critique; I appreciate it. Yes, I did use a circular polarizer, and tried to keep it controlled, but as you pointed out it did get away from me at times. Easy to do with the already-vivid colors at VOF...  I ALWAYS shoot in RAW, and don't have any in-camera settings; everything is done in DPP. I think the issue with #3 was done when I used DPP's "Landscape" Picture Style", which added to a view in evening light that was already saturated. And the "red" thing going on with the Desert Bighorn is I believe just a white balance adjustment. Yep, I stopped shooting in jpeg about 5 years ago, strictly RAW since then, and wonder why I didn't do it long before that...
Thanks Again,
Steve
