Pumped vs real colors - snow and clouds

[alex_markov]

People tend to prefer unreal colors as they are used/bored to/by reality

Just to confirm this, I created this comparison footage and ~80% prefer left - "pumped" part (bear in mind my usual clips are somewhere in between )
So I post this just for Your fun Enjoy

I like them both, the one on the left seems to be sharper but it’s personal preference to what ones best

What you call 'pumped' seems more what the natural eye would see.

Believe me, I was there - Nothing like this at that day - but glad You liked it.

Yes, everybody has taste and it changes with the mood either I made "pumped" first as a sole clip, but then remember how it was and remade it (Yes pumped it a bit - but far from that )

The snow on the pumped version looks good, but you lost too much detail in the sky

Thank You, this was an exaggerated example - based on what I've learned I made some "final" version - short, mood matching soundtrack, colors in between ... hope You liked it
Lesson learned?

The whites in the sky in the "pumped up" were blown out, the ground looked OK, so I agree with you that somewhere in between the two was the best setting.

I wanted to say the same about the highlights. But you can edit that in a way in post... unless the information just „isn’t there“. I‘m very green in video editing but have some experience in photography.

Hardware-wise, that’s what you use an ND-filter for?
