These next few photos are from the train window. We are currently in the Austrian countryside, and it's pretty gloomy out.

I mostly had my camera set to "running guy" mode so the landscape didn't look blurry as we past. Here some birds were flying next to us.

i think the you've gone a bit mad with the green saturation/vibrance mate. jokes a side it hurt my eyes. nice project concept tho.

>>1787259
What a pleasent countryside, I'm reminded of the countryside outside Pittsburgh for some reason. I think it's the overcast and the hills.

Here I just added some fake blur using the tilt-shift filter in photoshop. I think it makes it look a bit more dramatic but hopefully still realistic. I'm no pro in photoshop not gunna lie.

Also even though I shot raw, I tend to use the camera's white balance becaue I trust it more than I trust myself

These are the settings I used in ACR. Basically the sliders are at the default.

I use +30 vibrance and +15 saturation as a starting point for all my photos, because at 0/0 the results from my Nikon D90 are really dull.

It really did look this green though

>>1787271
>>1787270
Be nice guys D:

What else would you call it?

>>1787274
...sports mode?

>>1787273
>I use +30 vibrance and +15 saturation as a starting point

That's seriously high for a starting point. I don't think I ever go past 15 for either.

>>1787267
I know where this is.
What are you doing in austria?
Also you should shoot fullmanual.

>>1787267
This last photo took me so long because it's basically a panorama of 4 vertical pictures that I manually stitched together because photoshop was too dumb to align them.

It's obviously not perfect because the train was moving so the perspective is changing, but I tried my best to line them up and distort them before blending. I could probably make it look cleaner if I spent more time, but I'm not sure if it's even worth it :/

That's cool you know where it is. All I know is it's somewhere between Innsbruck and Zell am See.

I'm not in Austria anymore, these photos are a few months old but I've only gotten around to them now because it takes a while to sift through so many thousands.

Basically I was just traveling through Europe by myself on vacation.

Also about manual, the only time I honestly use fullmanual is if I'm trying to take a longterm exposure at night or when I'm making a panorama. When I'm just snapping pictures in normal conditions I honestly don't know how I could expect to outperform the camera's exposure logic

>>1787251 (OP)

damn trains in yurope look nice.

>>1787304
European trains are fantastic, the infrastructure is just incredible compared to the utter shit we have here in America. It's really an embarrassment. Our state once had a proposal to create a bullet train, but it was shot down because of "MUH TAXES".

Here is the side of a building I saw as we pulled into some station. For those of you who've never been to Austria, its common to have colorful murals painted on the sides of random buildings.

I guess I'm sort of like Ken Rockwell in that respect then ;)

>>1787307
Move to california if you want a bullet train :D

File: 1353890802895.jpg-(482 KB, 1542x1024, photo7.jpg)

In this next photo I set vibrance and saturation to 0 so these people

>>1787279
>>1787264

can see what I mean when I say photos from the D90 are dull.

Are you saying that this photo has vibrance and saturation set to 0?

File: 1353891419180.jpg-(161 KB, 1000x664, 1353890802895.jpg)

I'd do something like this instead of bumping up saturation.
