Still grinding through my Patagonia pics - here are 3 more with A7r and 24-70 FE. It was a flat light day - but then you have to go with what you have!

This is quite some landscape, Dave. But Patagonia is a big place - are you able to highlight any parts of it in particular that you would recommend for a visit? And what time of year is best? Thanks, John.

Michaeloh Michael. you are in Switzerland ? I'm very close from Bern . if you have time let me know.
René
I wish I were still in Switzerland. I live in the US, but we were there on vacation. My wife gave a talk at the University of Bern and we spent some time in Basel, Bern and Heidelberg. I'm sure we will go back at some time in the future. Bern is a beautiful city and I have many photographs of it, just haven't had time to finish processing them.

Rene and Bob, not only do these shots make me want to visit Gruyere -- and we just got back from a vacation to Basel and Bern -- but Bob the 3030 brought back memories, as it was my first foray into digital. I remember waiting specifically until the digital cameras got to 3mp, thinking OK, now they are ready for prime time. How things have changed.Michael

New gear I've to say... impressive. I'm a bit worried about the "Z" illness

John,
On the Argentina side its staying at El Calafete and visiting the Los Glaciares NP, primarily the Perito Moreno glacier definitely going to El Chalten and hiking the park around Fitz Roy and El Torre. There's also Viedma Glacier there if you want to strap on crampons and walk the glacier.
In Chile the main place to stay is at Lake Pehoe and work the Torres Del Paine NP.
We went in 2nd half of April - the very end of the season. We were literally the last party at our hotel in El Chalten. The colors were intense and the weather can swing hard. The 2 parties before us never saw the mountains from El Chalten. We saw them every day. Temps ranged from 15-60. Winds ranged from 20-80 mph! We had 2 days were 60-80 mph gusts were a challenge on glass, tripods, packs and long exposures. I even had one lens that would flex about 2-3 pixels on my camera body. Small lakes would turn into rough seas! You can see the winds vaporizing the water in these pics.

Mate,
I'm continuing the search for the 'perfect color', whatever this means.
I've came across some advice on Ming Thein's blog which simply suggested to:
1. make sure the colors that matter in the image are not over exposed, as different colors saturate differently (i.e. reds are blown more easily than blues)
2. spend some time on white balance
3. only then select the individual color with the drop-pin (or whatever it's called that tool) and adjust hue & saturation (which you do it in the 'color editor') section; oviously prioritising skin colors.
to be honest i've found this method yealds slightly better and more constant...Show more →
Hey and thanks for the info
I have a feeling the white balance is a big part of the dilemma in C1, for some reason Lightroom does a better job with white balance, at least for my files, I thought I was on to something with the curves, and in many ways I was, just as your workflow here works. Problem is, I started comparing some other files as well and C1, for some pictures, does a horrible job with colors for me. I've got a whole thread going about it in the Post Processing forum if you wanna read it, named Lightroom and Capture One Pro, quality differences.
I've got two days left on my trail so won't have enough time to get it right without buying or subscribing to it for a year. For some shots it does a great job, for some, not so. When i compare it to Lightroom I always get more consistent results in Lightroom, I know what I am gonna get. Not quite so with C1. Check out my thread in the PP forum, I won't hijack this one any more
