any advice would be great

F/5.6, 1/8000, ISO-800, 8mm


F/9, 1/1000 sec, ISO-800, 8mm

High ISO at 800 on both and two high shutters 1000/8000 were very high with wide angle lens, bring all the downs to exposure levels ISO 100 to 400, shutter speed 100 to 400 and apertures are will be about the same 5'6 to f9.

The details in the shot look reasonable on my computer so you done good, but bring all exposures in a sweet a latency of ISO and shutter.

Kind of nice as-is, but I might try lightening the shadows to see a bit more foreground detail.

I really like your photo's. I am really interested in your opinion from going from jpeg to RAW. I always shoot jpeg but really interested in your thoughts

Hi

As was said, I too think ISO is a bit high. At ISO 100 you would attempt to expose such images to the left (underexpose) and this would give you a better chance to rescue shadows while the highlights are not too blown out. Also don't forget you can point the camera momentarily toward a different part of the scenery and lock in the exposure by pressing the AE-L button. Now you can re-position your framing and shoot away.

I think you would have enough time to take the shot in different ways and settings and then decide which one to work with later.

Which RAW possessor are you using. In PS I would move the highlight slider to the left (reducing highlights) and the shadow slider to the right to recover the shadows. Then play around with exposure to suit.

I would also clone out that little bit of lens flair in the second image. Not entirely important, but if you care for a flare free image, go for it.

Last but not least, don't overlook as so often is the case to get the best balance, to apply a bit of cropping. Play around with it and see what sits best with your spacial perception.

Now you have a winner.

Cheers
