I have been trying to get some landscape shots at Hinze Dam (Advancetown Lake). I'm aiming at a large print.
I'd love any advice on getting a better shot. Mine are always too dark despite the histogram looking pretty full to the right.
To take this one I put on an ND 8 to soften the water and a soft NDGrad to pull the sky down. Sun was to my left. It was about 20 mins after sunrise.
ISO 100
21mm
f/13
5.0sec
In Lightroom I have pushed the exposure up about 1 stop, pulled the highlights back and selectively put some saturation in the cloud and the reflected cloud using the adjustment brush
