Imo the variation in colors Willoughby has usually makes it very beautiful. During peak foliage its bright foliage at the bottom and dark green pines at the top. This guy pained over all of it.

At first glance the photo looks like the vibrancy has been edited and saturation has been increased. This can be done in post processing or in real time using a polarizing filter on the camera. If you zoom in you can see the red leaves look weird and blotchy like the color has been painted in?? Like why ruin a nice image by doing that.

I take it y’all have never seen the Insta account @kjp because oh boy talk about fake photos. Half the shit in his photos including props are just added in. I’m not from Vermont and I find it extremely annoying. It’s creating a false reality for people who have never been.

Exactly. Pumpkins, lanterns, fences, string-lights, etc. It's sooo fake. I get it's a talent to be able to make photos like this, but labeling yourself as a "photographer" and not a "graphic artist" is pretty bs and misleading.

I have a family member who thinks he’s an amazing photographer. He has a good eye for composition, but no experience with post processing so he just slathers on the various over-saturated filters on everything. And of course he constantly posts these abominations all over social media. 🙄

I see this every damn fall, some leaf peeper flies his drone in Vermont and then processes the hell out of his photos in Lightroom. The instagrammers eat it the hell up and everyone thinks it's amazing. Meanwhile real professional photographers who take beautiful shots of the foliage get passed up for this hack BS. It sucks....
TL;DR This photo is massively oversaturated and looks like shit.
Twombls OP t1_iuwves7 wrote
Not even just oversaturated. Like willoughby foliage doesn't hit all at once like this. He straight up painted the foliage on the trees.

>Like willoughby foliage
This. The great thing about the Willoughby gap area and especially the steep face of Pisgah is the variety of colors and the changes over time as the reds and oranges of the lower altitude maples give way to the bright yellows of the beech and birch trees at higher elevations mixed with the green of the pines. It's never at any point all orange.

I was just talking to someone who said he went to VT and was disappointed in the color. I sent him pics from a few weeks ago of some of the most amazing color I've seen in the state. It wasn't oversaturated. He's like, "yeah, I guess there are some nice colors in there, but I was expecting better." I was like WTF are you on about?
Now I know why he was disappointed. He's probably used to looking at "photos" like these.

It's absolutely overly post-processed and looks dumb, but your claims that things are outright faked is just wrong and shows you have little understanding of photo post-processing.
Twombls OP t1_iuwtwky wrote
looks totally real to me. I like how even the long dead tree thats fallen in the water with no leaves is red.
raptor3x t1_iuwv4yk wrote
What you're seeing is a combination of color bleeding due to aggressive color noise reduction and a hue shift due to how the color saturation was exaggerated. In the raw image data you get a lot of colored speckling called chroma noise and the more you do to reduce this the more colors from adjacent objects will bleed into each other. This is especially apparent when dealing with tightly packed relatively colorful objects like foliage. Red hues from leaves from one tree will bleed into the bark of an adjacent tree or the water near the trees. The other issue is that when you see a bare tree that is "brown" it's not represented simply as brown in the data, but as a superposition of the color channels. When you exaggerate the oranges and reds in order to makes to leaves look better, you'll also distort other colors like browns and if you have areas that were already pretty intense they can end up getting blown out in one of the color channels. The sample you provided there certainly looks like it was done by someone in the "HDR hole" stage of photo post-processing but there's no signs of actual manipulation other than going nuts with saturation sliders.
seekingbeta t1_iuyzukp wrote
Actually, the post-processing tool he used is called a paintbrush. It’s used to apply colors on top of the image that aren’t naturally present. You can tell by looking at the lazy paintbrush strokes he used, like on the red tree in the water and on the bigger green patch at the bottom center of the frame - funny how only the top half of that green tree has a stroke of orange color and the bottom half doesn’t yet the whole tree is surrounded by orange leaves. I guess you’ll agree this is not the artifact of color bleeding or blown out colors.
raptor3x t1_iuz944r wrote
This thread is freaking hilarious. So many people who clearly have no clue what they're talking about being so damned confident. It's absolutely shitty post-processing, like I said it's reminiscent of the "HDR-hole", but there's nowhere the guy painted in color. If you had any experience with photo post-processing it would be painfully obvious what actually happened but please continue basking in your ignorance.

Made my first trip to VT from Philly last month and stayed in the NE Kingdom. Beautiful state, great people. Got to see Lake Willoughby just past peak foliage and it was more stunning than this photo. The dark green and light gray created a much more appealing contrast than these technicolor leaves.
That being said, I can understand the urge to edit photos because they so often fall short of capturing the true beauty of the sights we see. Some things are meant to be seen and experienced in person.

If you make money in a small state that bring in 3 billion dollars a year from other places through tourism, at some level you make some money from tourism.

Also that guy who runs the gas station in your town, that you go to so your bad ass 4x4 can run, wouldn't be there if it wasn't for the tourists. That's how economies work.

Thank you. That's because I'm right and you're wrong.
I don't care what you do for a living (but you're welcome to share what it is, if you think that will prove your point). If you live in the vermont, a shit load of money circulating around your community comes from tourism, and you economically benefit from that reality.
I mean unless you live in a cave in the woods and don't use money or something. But you're on the internet so we know that's not the case.

Yeah, not giving you my job, but again. Zero impact. You could argue a large part of VT is impacted by tourism, but I'm not. Nothing, again, nothing about VT tourism impacts my career or living....notice how I mentioned third order effects already in my initial comment.

I don't know what the fuck you're talking about with editing my comment.

My point is the consistent through this discussion.
But sure. Whatever dude. I'll take your word for it even though you won't say what you do. Maybe you're a top secret spy or something (but still you'd benefit from the economy you live in). Whatever the case, fine. You're some weird anomaly that lives above the economy of the state you presumably live and do business in.
That still doesn't change the fucking point that Vermont relies on a tourist economy that the whole state (except for you, somehow) benefits from, but this sub shits on tourists like all they do is come here and piss in our maple syrup or something. You can't 'argue a large part of VT is impacted by tourism' because there's no fucking argument. That's just reality.
EDIT: Sure, 'You could argue a large part of VT is impacted by tourism.' Just like you 'could argue' the sky is blue. But pointing out either makes you look like disingenuous dipshit.

Yeah that's 100% false. What 'counterpoints' are you talking about???
I mean, I guess can't prove I didn't edit my comment in a bad faith way, just like you can't prove you have a job that isn't impacted by the Vermont economy. ...Well, if that were true, you could prove that by saying what your job is, but you won't do that for some reason. I wonder why ;)
'Angry little boy' lol. We're both going back and forth; you're at least as 'angry' as I am. Especially as you're making silly insults like that.
Eagle_Arm t1_iuwz7cr wrote
It's false? So you didn't edit your comment? And you didn't put in additional information that goes against what I said in my comment? Ok sure...
I can prove I don't work with anything in tourism, but unlikely you'd believe it anyways.
If only there were jobs that people worked in Vermont, but weren't tied to Vermont itself, the land, any part of the economy here, production, or labor here...if only those types of jobs existed.....if only.
I don't have any anger about this. You're popping off about everyone hating tourists and you're incapable of realizing markets exist that are not impacted by tourism. So no anger, a little disappointment that the education system failed you, but that's about it.
Go ahead and get your last word in or maybe go and edit the comment in front of this one to make it seem like none of it makes sense. Toodaloo!

When you look at a painting, is it real? Did that moment in time actually exist or is it a reconstruction?
A photograph is a legitimate capture of time. It's a real, quantifiable thing. There are crime scene photos, not crime scene paintings. We use 'mug shots.' We sell products with photos, people date others based on photos, history is documented via photos.
Photos can be art, but they should be considered art and labeled as such. People get upset with manipulative photos because it is trying to pass of a lie using a medium that is used to show truth. That's where the anger comes from.
Nobody looks at a painting and says, 'the trees aren't that color....a mountain doesn't look like that.' Because it's a painting, it isn't there to tell the truth, it's there to be a painting. Photos show truth and when that truth is altered, it's a lie.

That's not photography, that's digital manipulation. Photography is a camera and the manipulation of light.
Throwing filters and editing the absolute hell out of a photo isn't photography. Some editing to correct imperfections to make the photo resemble real life is normal, but this is dogshit. It's like taking a Marvel movie and calling it a documentary.
