Finding Natural Landscapes Final

 Don't Walk Off the Cliff
Nikon D5200
18-55mm
18mm
f/7.1
1/400 sec
ISO 160
No flash
Comments: The Cliffs of Moher are quite beautiful at all times of the year. I made a close crop to the land because I find it more interesting than the sky. I did brush up the sky to put more detail in it though. I boosted the greens to make them look closer to reality.
Catwalk
Nikon D5200
55-300mm
55mm
f/5.6
1/2000 sec
ISO 160
No flash
Comments: Some people walking on top of the cliffs. I cropped more horizontal and brought all the shadows and blacks down to make them silhouetted. I brushed the sky and brought the exposure way down to get more blue and detail back in the clouds.
Don't Look Down
Nikon D5200
55-300mm
300mm
f/5.6
1/500 sec
ISO 160
No flash
Comments: The crashing waves below you as you walk along the top of the Cliffs. I cropped more vertical and boosted the blues and that's it.
Jesus Horse Rays
Nikon D5200
18-55mm
34mm
f/11
1/200 sec
ISO 200
No flash
Comments: Taken outside Castelluccia. I brightened this a lot from the original as it was very dark before. The exposure was too low so I brought that up and boosted all the colors once I could see them. I cropped the horse closer to the edge and I had to straighten the photo which caused the horse's legs to get cut short.
Jesus Rays Due (two)
Nikon D5200
18-55mm
18mm
f/5.6
1/400 sec
ISO 200
No flash
Comments: Jesus Rays on the mountains. I warmed it up and cropped more severely. I put more contrast into the clouds.
When the Sun Goes Down
Nikon D5200
18-55mm
20mm
f/3.8
1/60 sec
ISO 1250
No flash
Comments: I dropped the shadows and blacks to silhouette the ground. I cloned a few lights that remained out. I cropped horizontal and brought the oranges and blues up slightly.
Dewdrop Daisy
Nikon D5200
55-300mm
300mm
f/5.6
1/200 sec
ISO 320
No flash
Comments: Granted that this is not a landscape it is something natural and I really liked this picture. I cropped in for just these few petals to show. I boosted the contrast a little and made the purple brighter slightly.
Zingaro
Nikon D5200
18-55mm
18mm
f/3.5
1/1250 sec
ISO 100
No flash
Comments: Zingaro was a beautiful national park we went to in Sicily. It was a little stormy that day and so the clouds looked pretty awesome. I made the blues closer to the vibrancy they were at and made the greens brighter. The clouds I put more contrast into.
Jesus Leaves
Nikon D5200
55-300mm
165mm
f/11
1/1000 sec
ISO 640
No flash
Comments: Taken in Corciano. The only thing I did to this was crop in.

That's all the photos I have edited, hope you all liked them!
