Passionate Painted Skies

Thanks for your input. Old Technology: Nikon Fm2 (manual) & Fuiji

Velvia slide film underexposed for increased color - long exposure to

force reciprocity failure to encourage blue. No post processing - not

even sharpening. Sub 6:10PM

Very powerful!Fantastic!

Thank you for your kind words. As I always try to do, when someone leaves 'a mark' I will try and get to their images and leave 'a mark'. My eyes are shutting down so I will be off to sleep soon.

Wonderfully made, Tony. Regards...

Thanks for the kind words and the rating. Regards,

oooh, no post-processing and such magnific colours, wow! like a river of fire in the sky!

Thanks for your generosity. All the processing was done before taking the photo.

Hey Tony, I was browsing through your portfolio and was quite impressed with your body of work. I'm sorry that I can't say the same for this image. The horizon seems a bit tilted, really no interesting foreground and I think the biggest flaw is the over the top colors. I tend to be heavy handed on saturation at times too, but this goes beyond believeable.

Thanks for taking the time to comment and concerning the believability of this image I concur with your view. In fact, it is over 5 years old and I did not load it until recently because I did not think anyone would believe it. In keeping with this thinking, I used the image as a base for experimentation with photoshop filters (see http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=6836708) loaded in this folder. It was only after a few positive comments on the 'original' that I 'took a chance' and loaded it. I have a level on the camera and the camera is level but the horizon does 'tilt'. In some other shots at this location, I have 'straightened' the horizon because I was getting too many comments about an unlevel horizon. Even saying that the camera is level leads to a credibility issue so I am beginning to think that it was a mistake to 'present' this image.

Great JOB, Bravo

Just when I was getting a little discouraged, you come and pick me up with a 7/7. Thanks.

Tony,

 

Very nice, this "old" technology! This one blows my socks off, just beautiful, and with no post processing. Love it.

 

Best regards,

Tammy

Thanks for commenting. I still have some Velvia in the freezer and I may just pull it out this fal in addition to some Agfa 25 ISO B&W film that is no longer produced.
