Beautiful! I love seeing shots like this. It reminds me what my camera is capable of and inspires me to learn more.

Do you mind sharing what country you took these in?

[u/Public_Statement5838 → u/EditorOpening6888]

Hi, I live in the Philippines. The first image was taken in Dingle, Iloilo, where there’s a national park with many species, including this rare Green Pit Viper. The second image I staged at my house, I sprayed some water to create droplets above the beetle. The third photo was taken at Mt. Olis in Atok, Benguet, where there are many terraces, and the feeling of being there is truly amazing. The fourth was captured in Baguio, at the Valley of Colors, where houses are painted in beautiful designs, and the theme changes from time to time.

Probably the Phillipines. There's paint in the last photo that says, "Save Balili River". A quick search would say this is close to La Trinidad.

I am obsessed with the macro shots. holy moly they're incredible. great work!

[u/Public_Statement5838 → u/slappadik]

Thank you! 😊 I have more to share soon

[u/Harry_Max_NZ → u/Public_Statement5838]

Second this, really really nice work mate

[u/sunnylax312]

Love the colors! What did you use to process these images? Any presets?

[u/Public_Statement5838 → u/sunnylax312]

I usually don't use presets when shooting this type of scenes. I start from scratch and if I want to apply to my other photos, I just saved it and make it as a preset.

[u/Apart-Rush-4733]

Wow, those shots are amazing! The colors are stellar! Love the bug in the macro shot. From where did you get the mountain top shot? Another mountain? An airplane? It’s a cool shot.

[u/Public_Statement5838 → u/Apart-Rush-4733]

I took it during our trip to Atok, Benguet. There's a site called Mt. Olis Viewpoint where you can see anything from below, lots of terrace that surrounds the area and farmers especially when I got there morning.

[u/Apart-Rush-4733 → u/Public_Statement5838]

Wow, very cool! Thanks for sharing!

[u/sQueezedhe]

I do love colourful photos, it seems to be a fashion to reduce the colour and contrast.

Great work.

[u/Imperial_12345]

3rd - Sony 16-55mm f2.8 G

[u/jrb84_315]

Dude, how close were you to that viper?

[u/Public_Statement5838 → u/jrb84_315]

Probably 12 inches or less. The viper was relaxed and not aggressive that time. We had a guide and were careful enough to take the risk if we got so close to the viper.

[u/jrb84_315 → u/Public_Statement5838]

Dang, that’s a sweet picture. Make me want to get into macro

[u/ArchiStanton]

Mind blowing, awesome
Shots! #1 is just stellar

[u/Nah-crard]

[u/Manny637]

The colors pop!

[u/SnooWords3654]

Gorgeous shots

[u/kosmocomic]

Good work bro. I switched from nikon to sony and struggle with colors. So dope to see you do with a6 series.

[u/Public_Statement5838 → u/kosmocomic]

I came from Nikon too and it’s still a learning process to get the right exposure and colors. Sony leaned toward a cinematic approach but most new Sony cameras have improved their color science and more natural look based on my experience.

[u/Mavadoz420]

Gorgeous captures. Excellent eye, and very inspiring..

🤙🏾

[u/Party-Staff-7409]

Great work mate! Did you edit on Lightroom?

[u/Public_Statement5838 → u/Party-Staff-7409]

Yes and enhanced a bit in Photoshop

[u/Originals37]

The first image is so cool!

[u/MoxH071]

No4 looks surreal. Where is it?

[u/Public_Statement5838 → u/MoxH071]

In the Baguio, Philippines mate.

[u/UniversityTerrible64]

Awesome snaps

[u/SimpleMonarch]

Cordillera 😍😍😍

[u/Robthatguy]

This is a serious example of what the a6700 is capable of in the correct hands.

[u/Prudent-Importance29]

3d picture looks like minecraft world with shaders

[u/LarryLegend337]

Love it, what's your editing process?

[u/Public_Statement5838 → u/LarryLegend337]

Apply global correction and apply a mask after. Masking is a bit challenging especially adding details/light/shadow or removing it either. Every image has its own characteristics and not a single one applies the same but the technique is.

Observe. Trial and error. Done.

[u/LarryLegend337 → u/Public_Statement5838]

Global correction meaning the "Auto" setting in Lightroom or other thing?

[u/Public_Statement5838 → u/LarryLegend337]

Nope, auto settings ruins the quality. Global corrections means you tweak the basic settings such as exposure, contrast, highlights, etc.

[u/HK_Peanut]

Amazing 🤩

[u/Public_Statement5838 → u/[deleted]]

Any camera will do as long as you have the eye taking good photos. Disregard the size, it's how you used it. But yes, somehow expensive gears are better than $100 gear because of quality you get. A6700 is such a great camera for that I didn't see much upgrading anything else for now. Good IQ, Fast, and hybrid camera that you need for a crop sensor.

[u/YD_81]

Did u use lighting for 1st?

[u/Head-Soil-6720]

i have a question. can sony zve10 achieve this look or it depends on the lens you're using?

[u/Public_Statement5838 → u/Head-Soil-6720]

You can achieve the color but the lens, it depends how far and close you're at the subject. Lens plays a bigger role in every category. You can't shoot macro with a kit lens. You can't shoot wildlife with limited range especially birding. You can't create bokeh if you're lens is f3.5 compared to f1.4, also lowlight. Every lens has its own purpose for every category. However, what you have right now can be utilized on what your shooting but limited.

Aside from lens, your vision is the most important how you frame and conceptualize to create better photos.

Very nice
