Bosnia-Hercegovina, 2008 Summer [Vrelo Bosne] Anonymous
I visited BiH as I regularly do, this time with a pretty -- at least for me -- fancy camera (Nikon D40X). Among other things, I visited Vrelo Bosne (source of the river Bosna -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vrelo_Bosne) and took some very nice photographs that I'll share. Images are all 3872x2592 (10MP), so they average out pretty large. My upload is very bad, so they'll probably go up fairly slowly. I should be done by the time I post 276 (of about 13 pictures), I might post more non-Vrelo Bosne stuff.

I had quite a few more pictures, but I tend to dislike ones with people in them, so most of these pictures are further into the area where it's arguably more green and there are less people (the park, cafes and whatnot are closer to the entrance). I'll ask any questions if people have them.

I also have photographs from Bjelašnica and Trebevi? mountains, various photographs of Sarajevo from said elevated heights (among others), ones from Mostar and also nearby Olovo.

Wow, this really does take a long time to upload.
Anyway, this photograph is especially nice.

Resizing seems like a waste, but here are smaller ones then (continuing). I wasn't cutting the size down on the first few pictures either since I forgot to.

>and your highlights are blown

Not the OP, but I had the same problem recently with shots in a forest because of the sharp light/shadow difference...

What's the solution for this? A tripod, long exposure, and ƒ-22?

Good post work should solve the problem. Try http://onlinephototutorials.com/2008/08/11/better-than-hdr-local-exposure-editing/

Great tutorial! Thanks!

But am I right about the tiny aperture (ƒ16+) as well?
I seem to remember that back in the film days people like Ansel Adams took long shots with super small apertures to fix stuff like that...

That method is generally good, but if you end up with all your shadows blocked up (like in the example image) it tends to produce a lot of noise when you bring it out. I use a combination of that method and ND grad filters in order to keep my shadows open enough to use.

>>233676
Well if Ansel Adams did it... wait, no. Re-examine where ever you heard that becuase you must be mixing something up. Using a small aperture will not have any affect on the dynamic range of the film (or sensor). Dynamic range is a property of the film (or sensor) and can not be changed by adjusting normal camera settings. The only thing you can do in-camera is to control the dynamic range of the image before it's recorded by using graduated neutral density filters.

Weird. Why does it seem like it is working then?
Pix I take of the same thing with smaller apertures appear to have more range than ones with larger apertures?

F/16 is a large aperture on large format like Adams used. Try f/64.

The reason they shot at small apertures is to get everything in focus. The reason they used long exposures is because smaller apertures mean it takes more time for the same amount of light to go onto the film.

Adams was an expert at a variety of darkroom techniques to deal with stuff like this- I understand the negative for "Moonrise, Hernandez" was actually accidentally overexposed by four stops, because Adams was late getting to the spot and only had a couple minutes to set up and so flubbed something with his exposure. Print, of course, looks normal.

Perhaps because you're underexposing and thus preserving the highlights.
