Now ive taken a stab at this nature stuff at dawn and dust, but ligthing and color never come out of the camera remotely close to how it looks in person, or how i want it to look. Seems that extreme saturation is always needed. I read that one of the more famous local nature photogs goes out after it rains, tried that...no luck, although the greens are rather pretty if the clouds and break, but then humidity starts to eat me alive on my hike home. The only wide'ish lens i have is the 18-55, which isnt a BAD lens, but MF on it isnt really an option, a simple tap throws it off and the shot is ruined.

its just dark and blah, if i overexpose i blow highlights, and the water never turns out nice, even after i edit the photos they still seem to lack that high detail expected in nature photos of the sort, on longer exposures i do not have the patients to sit there for 3 days till the wind is dead and i can get everything frozen perfect, so i just do my best as is...i donno, basic rundown, links, tips...whatever, im lookin for anything, basically its been trial and error for me whenever i go out, and i sick of so much error.
