Welcome to Mars
One of the most spectacular places I've seen in Iceland. Getting there is definitely an adventure, but once you arrive, it feels like stepping onto another planet.
Best battery for a full day of travel photography?
I'm shooting on a Sony a6400 with one spare NP-FW50 battery, but clearly that setup isn't enough for a full day outside.
Which phone takes natural-looking yet flattering selfies? Is OPPO or vivo better?

In The Round Practice
Hey everyone. Recently some Pep Ventosa work came across my social media and it inspired me to get out and try his in the round technique again. I've tried it before without a ton of success.
Exploring a different angle.....
I posted recently about how using the Bluristic app angle mode could simulate the action used in the Pep Ventosa 'in the round' technique.

Great work Jason. More like illustrations than photographs some of them but I like them just the same.
Thanks a lot Geoff. It's the color grading and black point that give it an illustration feel.
i like 2,3 and 4 lots of visual interest. not really diggin the halos around the buildings but coming from an illustration background i love the feel of those 3
3, 4, and 5 look super HDR. Doesn't look natural by any means, but I like the fantasy look in these shots; especially with the glow around the buildings. I think these shots are going to get equal praise and criticism, which is simply individual tastes.
There isn't any HDR applied at all. Though the effect is to look hyper real fantastic just like this city is lol.
There is a glow around all of the buildings where they touch the sky. No way that's natural.
I never said it was natural just not HDR. The glow is due to high pass filter and and per channel contrast. I actually have a version without the glow.
I'd say the second one is by far the best. This tight space with all this stuff works very well in the frame. And you've got a nice triangle with the man, the fan and the small cabinet. The others don't really catch my eye. Just the glow, but not in a good way unfortunately. Maybe blur the people with a longer exposure to emphasize the crazy neon signs and buildings ? Probably not possible if you don't carry a tripod on your travels.
