Permagrin wrote in post #5248036  this is what I'm talking about...this was one of my better shots (not processed) from today...but the wildflowers are tiny and the area is vast. How do I make it look better. 1. Were you using a CPL? I tend to ramble. Feel free to put me on ignore.

Fun day. My MIL took me to dinner at Applebee's. She was tired of dieting. YAY  Where did you go in the park? Permagrin wrote in post #5247991 I need some advice from those of you who've shot the desert...I'm failing in capturing the scope of the whole thing. I looked at my shots today and was thoroughly unimpressed...there are lots of wildflowers but unless I do a close up of the flower it looks like a boring landscape...I want to be able to capture the beauty of the flowers against the tough desert...in a landscape, not a close up. Got any suggestions? The only thing I can think of is perhaps looking for a higher viewpoint to better capture the expanse of the flowers. That was one of the things we did when we went up there. We climbed up on the rocks to get that higher viewpoint. John

Were you using a CPL? 2. A narrower DOF, focusing on one specific subject, the rest in bokeh? No, I forgot my cpl at the house...I'll take it for tomorrow. And I did a lot of narrow dof and those turned out really well but I wanted some way to show the glory of the whole thing.... .. It's Permie's world, we just live in it! ~CDS

There are no tracks there...it was just on someone's property...got burned in the big fire recently.  .. It's Permie's world, we just live in it! ~CDS
