Living Ambience

Alec, woouw, this image including the title radiates a dream. It is quite surreal. The quality of light is superb ! cheers Jana

stunning shot in beautiful soft light, great.

oh, so so wonderful and peaceful and so beautiful Men and spirit daer Alec!

Bravo!

Biliana

Very nicely done!

Excellent! The light is splendid

Excellent capture.. shot me right back to the sixties. PS: LoVe those Manboobs. Just a couple of regular guys hanging out ?

Although a difficult shot, there is an effortless quality to the extraordinary travel portrait. Everything is just right. The shadow just adds to the realism contrasting with the dreamy atmosphere.

The blue sky is crisp and the light is gentle. Wooden structure is nicely captured to reveal lots of detail.

 

But, one thing which bothered me a lot is the accentuated legs due to the wide angle lens. I think the camera is too low and the wide angle has unintentionally produced this effect.

Ben, Pnina, Andrew, Jana, Klaus, Biliani, Steve, Adolfo, Kit Yoong thanks for commenting. Russ you're right, just two regular guys enjoying the ambience.

 

Arthur 12-24 mm Nikkor will distort and as there is a 6 feet wall in front of them and I don't have much leeway to work on so I decided to shoot it from the ground tilting upwards. I think the larger than life feet makes it an interesting composition.

Well composed, very symmetrical portrait.

Thanks Gul, we should meet sometimes for a shoot.

Superb composition and lighting. Kudos!

Alec, this image exudes an ethereal glow, a vision which was created by the skill of the photographer. . . beautifully captured. . . I think the use of the wide angle is effective. . . otherwise, you would have a more mundane image. .

Donna, Therese thanks for the very kind comments.

Fantastic light and overall great in terms of aesthetics, Alec. A real pleasure to view. Very well done.

Thanks Marc, coming from you is an honor.

A beautiful photo. I'll never come close to your talents but nice to be able to admire so much talent.

My guess is that this image will remind people of you. For many, many years Alec. Original and very pleasing to the eye. You are showing the art of your craft. A pleasure to view.

I wanna go there!

Alec, Can you use 35mm lens vertical and then stich them like you did with hors shooe? Thanks

Hi Shmil, thanks for coming by. You can for vertical shots - albeit a bit tricky. You may have to use Filter, Distort, Lens Correction with Adobe CS2 to transform it properly.

 

Easier to control with 50mm lens.

Back for another peek.

 

Happy New Year Alec.

I like the peaceful feeling in your image with beautiful tones.

I never cease to be amazed by all the photos I have not seen Alec, your Portfolio is so 'diverse'.  This is an excellent shot.  Truly beautiful lighting, detail and composition,  congrats, I know there is many more for me to comment on, perhaps eve 'one a day' will get me closer to my goal....cheers, Gail
