![]() Your point of view will impact your images in huge ways.Ī lot of times when I review the work of beginner landscape photographers, this is the most jarring problem. This is a quote I read online some time ago in some random photography article comment section, and it’s stuck with me. “The most affordable zoom is moving 2 feet ahead” That was basically my impression when I visited Berserkjahraun – a lava field in Iceland. This will help you to boost your landscape photographs almost instantly – trust me when I say this.Īnd some locations are so photogenic that you could literally put away the fancy DSLR and whip out a point-and-shoot camera and be 100% satisfied with the shots. Ultimately – you should choose locations that inspire you!! These days, I have additional travel plans in the works to visit places like New Zealand, Thailand, Ireland, Greece…and more…You can bet my camera will be on hand! In a unique twist, I also found myself in Death Valley National Park last year, a place I wouldn’t have been too interested in if I hadn’t seen the photographic potential thanks to the photographers Mads Peter Iverson and his YouTube video on Death Valley Photography (see below): My most incredible landscape/travel photography experience has been when I took a 10 day campervan trip around Iceland with my wife – probably the most photogenic place on the planet. These two things go hand-in-hand, as is shown off time-and-again by landscapers visible on social media. My passion for landscape photography has been fueled by my other passion for travel. Inevitably, if you’re wanting to take photos at a more exotic location like in the middle of a glacier, you’ll probably need some extra planning – even support from others – to make those shots a reality. Your planning can be as simple as this, or more complex depending on the specifics of the shot you’re looking for. You may also want to prepare some mental images of your composition – so once you arrive, you can immediately look for the shot you are picturing. ![]() I always do some planning to make sure I will arrive at a location at a reasonable time and be in the position I want to be before the light turns bad (or goes completely out). While you will never have full control – as mother nature will always do what it wants in the end – a certain level of planning can help you maximize your control. If you’ve normally taken landscape shots on a whim before, the first thing I’d suggest is actually planning out your shots. If you learn something by the end of it, let me know in the comments! Some things you may already know, but quite a few come directly from my own experiences. In this post, I’ve put together a collection of tips for getting the best possible landscape photos on your own. ![]() I’ve learned that it really is about more than just “taking pictures” – and I’m sure if you’re wanting to better hone your skills, you likely feel the same way. It’s this simplicity that I love – the lack of a need for staging or window dressing.Īs I’ve explored landscape photography as a passionate hobby, it’s led me to some interested places around the world. ![]() It has always enabled me to take a step back and really take in the nature around me – and over the years has even breathed fresh air into parks and nature trails I’ve visited hundreds of times in my life.Īt it’s core, landscapes are a simple subject – and the best images are often the result of things outside of the camera like the lighting, weather, and just being in the right place at the right time. It’s always appealed to me – even since I picked up my first camera at a young age. While I have devoted much of my time spent behind a camera to photographing people, my ultimate guilty pleasure has always been landscape photography.

![]() I can say without hesitation that there is bona fide, raw genuinity inherent in each one of the sample-sets contained in the California Keys library. As a reference point, my system is powered by a 2016, i7 7700 HQ chip. Yikes! If I scale back the number of mics or use lighter patches, this drops to half or less. The CA-Grand, on the other hand, can easily utilize upwards of 30% CPU with the larger patches, and I've seen busy arrangements and generous FX make it spike up to 75 - 80 percent. These conservative observations are ascertained while using the e-Pianos and organs. I realize that not everyone has a dedicated SSD drive(s) in their system for the sole purpose of storing sample libraries, but if you want to have a fluid experience and speedy load times, you might want to consider getting an SSD for the CA-Grand and similar sample libraries.Īs regards CPU drain, Kontakt’s (v5.81 standalone) CPU meter seems to hover around the 3% mark with occasional peaks as high as 15 - 20% when liberal amounts of FX are applied. As already stated, the Fazioli Grand sample-set is huge, gulping down 2.14 GB of memory at the least. All of these samples load up in good time from a 7200 rpm HDD. The H-Organ is not negligible, consuming a noticeable 1.2 GB of memory. Taking into account that each of the e-pianos and transitors organs are monophonic sample-sets, their memory footprints are very small. Regardless of which patch or snapshot you choose, luxurious tonality, and vast dynamic verismo are immediately at your fingertips. ![]() My ears tend to favour the “Grand Peluso” NKI due to its somewhat livelier upper midrange presence. If these weren't enough, realism is further actualized with some nifty, dedicated soft-pedal samples to convincingly simulate a grand piano’s soft pedaling functionality. Other factors contributing to the veritable nature of CA-Grand are seamless fusion of the library’s release samples and sympathetic resonance. As trite and clichéd as the word has unfortunately become in today’s music vernacular, “organic” is most certainly an apt adjective to describe the sound of this sample set. An airy, pellucid high region is evident howbeit it never becomes brittle or sterile sounding. The mids are graceful and majestic these too remain defined and pure throughout all velocity layers. The low register of this piano can thunder for sure, but it always remains clear and articulate. To say that the instrument is dynamic is an understatement. There’s an aliveness about the sound, and a responsiveness to touch, that must be experienced to be properly understood. Does Q Up Arts’ CA-Grand belong in such illustrious company? On the basis of visual appeal, I would say that it comes a little under-dressed but sonically it stands up every whit as well.Īcross the complete key-range of this piano, the tonality is well-balanced and articulate. That’s elite, high class social circles to appease folks. There are other equally-as-large, highly detailed offerings on the market now-a-days Wavesfactory’s “ Mercury”, Bechstein-Digital’s “ C-Bechstein”, SonicCouture’s “ Hammersmith” are a few that come to mind. Timbre preferences aside, the sonority of this instrument is exquisite! The sampling quality is sublime and need not take a back seat to other libraries of like kind. I can assure you that all 10 of the echo/delay algorithms sound brilliantly freakin’ awesome! Of course, I mean that from a completely detached, unbiased position. For brevity’s sake I’ll cut to the chase. It would be a fool’s errand to attempt covering each preset, within each algorithm, of each category, in a single review article. A couple of my GO TOs from other algorithms are the “Every Lead You Fake” found under ModDelay, and “Record Head” in the Tape Echo group. If you long for the clarity of digital, without sacrificing analogue-like warmth, be sure to check out the “Dual Big Warm Digital” preset. If you’re fortunate enough to have a stereo setup at your avail, there are dizzying amounts of swirling, bouncing, stereo-driven options on tap. ![]() The ‘Digital Delay’ algo - as does its fellows - yields optional degrees of luscious modulation specific to the repeats. Try as hard as I might to detect ill-wanted artifacts, H9’s lush, evolving delays never fail to carry me off to another plane of musical bliss. ![]() ::SecurityProtocol = ::SecurityProtocol -bor 3072 # installed (.NET 4.5 is an in-place upgrade).
