A Date at Dusk at the Quarry

DSCF1002-EDIT.jpg

With the Fujifilm x100v, that is. Trying to capture a bit light before the sun fully set, I wanted to experiment with my Fujifilm on some landscapes in low light. Note how the prairie grass was in focus, but the depth went well into blur territory.

I then decided to focus on one my favorite trees with the clouds in the background. The results were about the same; focus was on the foreground on prairie grass, and the tree itself was a bit blurry.

The images have an almost dreamy, ethereal quality to them. My plan is to go back with more low light level setting to bring out even more colors and more texture of the images of the quarry. As you might know, I'm still experimenting with the new camera. My intitial thought is that all of these are way too blurry...but there still is "something" there...what it is, I do not know. As always, any feedback is appreciated!

Great landscape shots all the same. Have you tried focus stacking at all? Tricky with grass though, having said that as the slightest breeze will mess things up for when layering in the post production stages.

you know, I have not. I've seen it from others though, but I always want to get the whole, spontaneous feeling of an image. Do you do that a bit with landscapes?

I’ve given it a go and it does work but most of the time I’m quite lazy when it comes to editing nowadays.
