Yesterday was all landscapes and open driving. There wasn’t much variety to shoot so I pretty much had to stick to simple landscapes. Instead of editing with VSCOFilm this time, I decided to keep them natural-looking. Some of them are even straight out of camera. I’m consistently impressed by the tones of this camera. That’s my favorite part about it. And yes, I even like the tones better than my Canon 5D Mark II. The highlights don’t blow out as much and the shadows seem to keep more detail. Overall, very nice files.

(I also shot some HDR images yesterday. GASP!!! Yes, I said the dirty word. When you’re in a car all day, you’ll attempt anything, including HDR. I’ve seen a few people do HDR images that don’t look like HDR at all. So my curiosity has been peaked for a while. I haven’t had time to edit those yet so I’ll have to post soon. For now, here are some natural landscapes…)

Gorgeous shots! I recognize many of these(I think)is the first one rt 89 heading towards Flagstaff?

I cannot wait to see your HDR's!

Whoa... those caps were competely unintentional. I had my cap lock on but didn't know it as the comment input window only displays caps.... Sorry about that.

i LOVE THE FIRST ONE TOO. i FEEL LIKE i AM IN THE PICTURE. pARTLY BECAUSE OF THE GREAT EXPOSURE, BUT ALSO THE FARMING. bY CLOSING OFF THE TOP LEFT AND TOP RIGHT CORNERS WITH CLOUDS, YOU MAKE FEEL I'M SANDWICHED BETWEEN TWO PLANES - EARTH AND CLOUD. vERY COOL.

That is why I love the Fuji X pro 1 so much. The files straight out of camera are superb

they really give you a great sense of the open road, very meditative!

The details in the cloud highlights are amazing! What lens did you use for these shots?

Also - did you find yourself using the graduated window tint from the front window as a graduated ND? I use the from time to time with great effect.

HDR isn't a dirty word. Horrific abominations of terrible tone-mapping is the root of the issue. Great shots!

That's ridiculous. That's absolutely ridiculous. In my mind, that was, without a doubt, either an HDR, or it was shot with some kind of graduated filter. Really impressed. Details and gear aside, that's really a great shot. Thanks for blessing my eyes :)

OUTSTANDING . . . these point me to see god's glory & his creativity!

I should probably ask this here, but is the third picture from El Paso? I grew up there. i love photos of the southwest...so beautiful.

That first one is not HDR, it's actually straight out of camera. So you better scream!! :)

That first one is absolutely incredible. Is that one one of the HDRs that you made? The detail in the clouds is spectacular! If that one is straight out of the camera, I'll scream.
