robvine 0 Posted May 18, 2008 Interesting photo. There is really no sense of scale there, these pillars look like they could be a thousand feet high or just one! Link to comment
peter_daalder 0 Posted May 18, 2008 G'day Robert, thanks for viewing and commenting... You could be right, but I deliberately didn't clone out the eucalypts on the RH side... They grow to a maximum of about 30 metres Link to comment
pankaj purohit 1 Posted May 18, 2008 Good place to take picture, but not looking centered, I think that would have been better otherwise it should be totaly different compostion. sky also not seems to match the photo. Sky color and textures always play impotent role in this kind of pics. Link to comment
AaronFalkenberg 0 Posted May 18, 2008 Pete, I look at this like an ape to an obelisk. What are they? Striking form and color contrast. I find the sky a bit too polarized. Cheers, Aaron Link to comment
Pierre Dumas 309 Posted May 18, 2008 With too dark sky I don't know why. Probably polarizer was used! PDE Link to comment
peter_daalder 0 Posted May 19, 2008 Thanks for your views and comments, Lex, Pankaj, Aaron and Pierre.Ok, the polarization is perhaps overdone, but that is a personal preference and it is not the first time that I've been taken to task about that aspect of my landscaping. A few months ago, I uploaded another version of this subject. I found the vertical format and spectacular sky much more appealing to this horizontal view. However, apart from a few ratings, it didn't attract any feedback. Which was somewhat of a surprise... Aaron, if you check out the previous image, you'll get a better idea of what you're looking at. Metal support pillars mounted on railway carriages, which are used for the transportation of trees/logs. The tight framing at the bottom was done deliberately to make this more of an abstract creation. Shot with the Canon 20D and a 10-22mm lens, at the wide end.Once again, thanks to you all for stopping by. Link to comment
Matthew Brennan 3 Posted May 27, 2008 This horizontal frame is less subtle in it's intent as to leading the eye down the row of wagons. The former posting you mention, has that fabulous mackerel sky with the parting leading right the way down the row. I see why you favour the original posting, however, this image has a lot of raw punch. Link to comment
peter_daalder 0 Posted May 28, 2008 Cheers, Henri and Matthew.As mentioned, I liked the fact that this made for a less identifiable capture. Also, with regards to Pankaj's remarks about the clouds; I think that I would like to shoot this again under a clear blue sky. However, I'm not sure that these "pillars" will still be in situ, though... Link to comment
