EXPLORED!!! Highest position: 96 on Saturday, October 24, 2009
Dear friends, I
REALLY need some serious and honest feedback for this one.
I went far with processing, I have decided to crop it 16:9, chosen very high contrast and dark tones.
I have started experimenting with the presence of people (at the moment Alice) in my landscapes, to give them a more human dimension.
Of course, as you can see here, I tried to create a strong contrast not only in luminosity, but also in motion/steadiness.
I am more and more into long exposures, proabably thanx to my friend
Joel Tjintjelaar which I think is one of the coolest 'long motion landscape photographers' here...
THANX a LOT Joel for providing me as much inspiration!
Don't leave without checking its great stream out.
Weekend is coming, can't wait for it to get started!!! Hope to get some nice clouds to shoot.
SINCE I USUALLY CARE ABOUT IT, I DECIDED TO INCLUDE IN MY 'DESCRIPTION MODEL' A NEW ENTRY:
"DETAILS";
Inside you will find Camera, Lens used, focal length and aperture, Shutter Speed, ISO setting, filters.
Hope it's gonna be useful!!! (I know most of these details can be seen in the 'more information' tab, but I prefer to put it here.)
