OTHER: Could this be the way into "Nature Photography" ?!

[topshelfjunior]

Obviously not what I normally shoot, obviously not what I get paid to shoot, and also not a hobby or passion of mine but... While testing a new camera and putting it thru it's paces, I decided to see if it could dabble in a lane of photography that I rarely drive in. I think I like the results and will explore the lane further !

I'm not watching on a calibrated monitor, but about 90% of the shots seem to have blown highlights, and not in a good way. I suggest you work worker harder on nailing exposure closer and/or post processing to pull things back down.

Whether it's the Canon 5D... Or the Fuji X-Pro.. Or the Panasonics.. my personal style + belief, both photo and video...has always been to slightly over-expose everything. I like my images to have a pop to em.. Push the line, without going over-board. I'm not satisfied if they just look as-is, how they do in real life.. I want to create a sense of fantasy, other-worldy, a dream like state almost. So I always over-expose just a tad. However my eyes and style / taste see fit, that's where I put it. The craziest thing about it is, I've worked for 20 years as a photographer and director, as my only job...and based on things I've done and how I've made a living off using this exact process, I'd say hundreds - thousands - millions (views) of people like my style also lol. You can Google my name or look it up on Instagram. Thanks for your comment and your time, appreciate you watching. You're the first person to ever mention this to me lol. Always remember.. "pixel peepers aren't photographers."
