Wednesday Landscapes, 26 February 2020

You are invited to upload one or more of your landscape photos and, if you’d like, to accompany your image with some commentary: challenges you faced in making the image? your intent for the image? settings? post-processing decisions? why you did what you did? the place and time? or an aspect you’d like feedback on? And please feel free to ask questions of others who have posted images or to join the discussion. If you don’t feel like using words, that’s OK too—unaccompanied images (or unaccompanied words, for that matter) are also very much welcomed. As for the technicalities, the usual forum guidelines apply: files < 1 MB; image size <1000 px maximum dimension.

I suppose I’m channeling my inner Rothko here. This image also harkens back to the thread of 12 September 2018, where I was interested in how small something can be and still dominate the image. Glenn’s masterful contribution to that thread demonstrated conclusively that it can be very, very small [link].

Approaching thunderstorm with a lone, and apparently unconcerned, kite surfer in the ocean off of Hendry's Beach, Santa Barbara. Santa Cruz Island is in the background.

 

Thanks for the compliment Leslie. I had forgotten about my earlier submission until you reminded me. I also needed to reacquaint myself with Mark Rothko to see that your wonderfully minimalist photograph does indeed channel his paintings.

I'm baaaaack! (At least for today.) On Sonora Pass, Sierra Nevada mountains, California:

Glenn's shot inspired me to post this shot of French Polynesia. Pentax 67, 400 Takumar.

Amazing sky!

Great photo! Did you use any photo correction?

Thanks Annalane. It was scanned from film using SilverFast software. The film was Velvia 50, so it is pretty rich to begin with. The scan is as close to the original as I could get it.
