I love your work. I'm not fond of photographs that have an un-natural look and feel to them because of the post processing, taking the work to a place that is strange to my eye.
As I view your photographs my mind is not drawn to the outstanding work done in Photoshop or Lightroom. Instead I find myself looking thru the view finder of your camera, or better yet my window. Awesome job!

Location
This multi-frame panoramic view was taken at Schwabacher Landing, Grand Teton National Park just outside Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Whether 1 frame or multiple frames it's always a challenge to capture the beauty that is on display here 24/7/365 days a year !Time
Time Of Day or TOD is always important in an image. This image was taken in the early a.m. to capture the full frontal lighting cast upon this beautiful landscape.Lighting
The early morning soft, cloud filtered light acted as a big soft-box in the sky, perfect for the golden grasses in the foreground to include soft even illumination of the pine. The end result is a low contrast scene that captures a wide variety of tones from the brightest white of the snow to the subtle shadows between the pines.Equipment
Captured with a Nikon D7100 / 10-24mm Lens / ISO 100 / f16 at 1/2 second shutter speed / polarizer filter + Graduated Neutral Density Filter / TripodInspiration
This is a pretty popular location within Grand Teton National Park and I wanted to capture a large portion of this pond created by beavers. I felt this would also be a great spot to serve as a large mirror to capture as much scenery, showing the beautiful surroundings in which the beaver's live.Editing
All images captured in this setting (landscapes) I always strive to capture the best possible image in camera(RAW Format). Post processing is done in Photoshop using NIK plugin filters to tweak contrast, detail enhancement, and color balance being kept to a minimum for a realistic looking image.In my camera bag
My camera bag always includes(for landscapes) a wide angle lens (10-24mm), 2 longer focal length (18-70mm) (55-300mm) lenses to cover all the bases. Filters include Polarizing filters, Graduated Neutral Density, and a 6-stop & 10-stop Neutral Density filter for long exposures. Cable release and tripod and it's off to the trail !Feedback
As mentioned above TOD is the biggest factor after scouting out locations for shooting. Knowing when the best light is for you subject is the first place to start. Knowing your equipment and the ability to operate manually puts you in control of what you want when shooting. Keep it simple and develop a routine in the way that you shoot. Have fun !!
