  1. Hopefully someone will reply because I would like to know this information as well.
  2. I like the message of the image. Personally I am not a big fan of HDR photographs because the lack of shadows make them look like a drawing and what it can sometimes do with the sky, but in this case I like it overall, especially with all of the detail you are able to bring out.
  3. <p>I agree with Fabrizio. In fact, the Sony A7R has been my favorite camera that I have ever owned so far and I just returned from a 2 week trip around southern Utah and Yellowstone. What a difference in the weight of my camera gear especially when doing some of the more challenging hikes like Angels Landing in Zion.</p>
  4. <p>I am not an expert but will share what has worked well for me. This is assuming that you are working with a RAW file because I have never done those type of edits on JPG files.</p> <p>It becomes a balancing act and I will usually bump up the Exposure slider first to recover some of the shadow areas. I will do this until I start losing detail in the highlights that I want to keep but can no longer recover. From this point I will then use the shadow recovery and the black slider until I have it looking the way that I want .</p> <p>If the image was really underexposed and I still want to recover some of the dark shadows I will keep the noise as manageable as possible and then resort to third party noise reducers like Topaz DeNoise.</p> <p>Anyway, this is kind of the process I use which has worked fairly well. Maybe others that are more technically qualified can chime in to explain what the best methods are and why.</p>

  6. <p>I have never personally used Fumfie.com but based on the high number of ONE star ratings they have received I would not purchase from them.</p> <p>My advice would be to stick with reputable companies like B&H Photo and Adorama, both of which I have used with exceptional results.</p>
