[s1mpl3k1d]

That is sooo awesome spacecadet1000!!! Do I only need to buy Lightroom in order to achieve the enhancements of the sky or do I need to buy a plugin for Lightroom as well?

[spacecadet1000]

@s1mpl3k1d Hey Thanks for the great comment.. much appreciated my friend and Yes... all you need is lightroom !!, no plug-ins, looking forward to seeing your results..!!..:)))

[MrCJ1988]

Heavenly work my friend!

[iLLEST209]

what software do u use?

[spacecadet1000]

@iLLEST209 Hi, I use Lightroom !

[saviour100]

Your work is amazing.

[spacecadet1000]

@saviour100 Thank you for the great comment, I guess I just love my hobby, and this really shows in my work..:)

[grabedigger]

My God, i wish i can get my ND Filters soon..i've recently bought the Sigma 10-20...i just want to do this kind of work. Bought Hitech 100mm filters, and i just want to do this here in Madeira Island! Your work is amazing, calms me down everytime I see it! You use Lightroom, I'll use Viveza 2 :)

[atyl1972]

wow mate this is so amazing, i currently use the nikon d7000 with the tokina 12-24 super wide angle and i believe the best set up for me regarding filters is the Lee foundation kit, with the 77mm wide angle adaptor and Hitech filters, these vids gives great aspirations to amateur photographers especially with the usage of lightroom, is it lightroom 3? and what do you think of my set up filter kit?

[spacecadet1000]

@atyl1972 Hi mate, Sounds like you have the perfect set-up, the same as me basically, Lee foundation kit, Hitech filters, wide angle adapter, all the same as me !!, except you have the better camera !!..:))..all you have to do now is wait for that perfect dawn or sunset and you can show ME how it's done !!..:)).. good luck and most of all, cheers for the great comment ..:))

[atyl1972]

@spacecadet1000 Hi again, no worries LOL@ me showing you how it's done with photo's like you've portraid, this is pure artistry my friend, i only wish i could take a photo half as good as these, so i am now going to order these filters and attachments right now and then going out in the field and practising, because unless you practice you don't learn, thanks for the inspiration, ooops and going to order lightroom 3 too,lol.. keep in touch buddy, Andy

[atyl1972]

@spacecadet1000 hey again, well i received the wide angle adaptor ring for the Lee set up, and basically just as i ordered it off of ebay here in the uk i asked the seller if he also sold the nd grads especially 0.9, as i knew at the time on his listings he was only selling the adaptor rings, i received no reply off of him however, what i did receive 2 days later was a 77mm adaptor ring at £19.99 along with guess what.....? yep, a 0.9 nd grad from LEE, genuine too, all for the £19.99, like wow..

[spacecadet1000]

@atyl1972 Now I really an Jealous !!!!... Well you have all you need to better me so go on out there and shoot !!!!

[atyl1972]

@spacecadet1000 I doubt that jon, you have some stunning landscape areas there down under but here in wales, we have to wait for the decent weather to go out and shoot, but as soon as i do i'll post you some and i'll await your critique :-)

[atyl1972]

@spacecadet1000 what else i wanted to know also, would you advise on the lightroom 3 or to go for elements 9? i mean looking at your pics on here with lightroom it seems as though there are excellent editing options in lightroom??

[spacecadet1000]

@atyl1972 Hi Mate, Well I can;t advise you on Elements as I have never seen it or used it, My advise would be download the trial version of each and play... Lightroom took me a long time to get used to and more importantly, learn how it can benefit MY style of photography, it's not as easy as just picking a program, it all interlinks with developing your own style... both grow together, Lightroom has its limitations but for me, if I can't do what I want in lightroom... I drop the shot !!

[AsG1989]

great work with the shutter speeds

[spacecadet1000]

@AsG1989 Thanks for the great comment, much appreciated.

Your work is just amazing.. i never seen such beatiful photo's before..

I just want to ask you how you developp your photo in lightroom..??

Wich "cursor" did you use??

thanks for sharing your passion!! :-)

Bye

[spacecadet1000]

@seb09100 Hi, thank you for such a great comment, much appreciated, I just play around in Lightroom but mainly using the graduated filters, lightening the foreground and darkening the sky, also I add contrast which richens the colours, then sharpen and crop...that's it in most cases, hope that helps..:)))

[jodz75]

visually amazing!

love love love what you do...

Lightroom here I come! lol :)

[spacecadet1000]

@jodz75 Thank you so much for the lovely comment, I'm so glad you like what I do....Lightroom is fantastic and in my view...so real, you cannot really change anything that isn't already there so for me...the photo stays real !!..unlike photoshop where nothing is real any more !!

[pedroclaro143]

Lightroom is just Great
