| Apparently she cut a deal with the sun to get perfect lighting in every shot. |

Truly amazing!!!
Great use of sunlight and excellent PP work (no clue of the "how" part though)
I liked the human element that adds to the liveliness of the landscapes.
Thanks for sharing... :) |

The magic of her early morning light is impressive. She has been blessed to find the place where fog and light mingle in the dawning day. The post processing is great as well. She really has captured the moment and integrated the people and animals with the sun and misty beauty. One of the most magical times of day.
This is a location where the sun rides along the fog. I used to see this most summer days when I lived in Brewster, NY and there is also a lot of this magical light in the Westchester area as well. |

Early? Pick the season with the shortest day. Sunrise here in the dead of winter is around 8:30am. Sure beats the 4am mornings of mid-summer. ;o) |

Curious, so if these are not real does the appeal of the "photos" diminish?
Edited for clarity

That's exactly what I've been thinking about lately. Can I use photoshop to make a beautiful photo but when people find out it is much different than the original will they all of a sudden think it is not as beautiful. Does ("honesty" (straight from the camera)) in photography like this matter? I am confused. |

i think you can be just as much of an 'artist' with digital photography as you can with paint. a painting often does not look like the original scene but knowing does not diminish it's beauty for the viewer.

almost all of the images are taken from like 3 locations ... found a spot with good light, no doubt ... but I also think they're heavily photoshopped
they look great, though |

My philosophy on this is to just be open and honest about your work. Last thing you want to happen is people fall in love with your work but for all the wrong reasons. Then you have to keep lying to them to maintain your standard and that never works out well in the end. Bottom line is if you're good people will like you regardless so why lie to them?

I agree. Portrait photographers do it all the time, they remove the blemishes from people's faces all the time. Does that take away from the original photo of the person? I think it enhances it, but that's just me.
I majored in art (emphasis on painting and drawing), and I feel that everything can be manipulated to make it more pleasing to the public, or just yourself, depending on who you're making your art for. |

IMHO any piece of work, be it enhanced or straight-from-camera that is pleasant to the viewer is an art. May be here the extent to which it is done is relatively higher. That does not mean dishonesty in any way I guess. |

So early this morning I read this thread while having my tea. Then I went about my day not giving it another thought. This evening I sat down remembered what I'd read. I pulled an image from the files and started working on it. This is my result.
Before
After
I'm actually pretty happy and already thinking of how I might use similar techniques for an outdoor family of 14 I'm shooting in a couple of days.
I feel inspired by photographers who see more. Thanks for sharing.
