THE LOST VILLAGE #2 / A ALDEIA PERDIDA #2

Thanks.

Hello Luis.I think the stone wall and foreground make for a pleasing composition but your burnt out highlights are very distracting.Maybe the use of an NDgrad would have prevented this.

Hello Thomas! Thanks for your time. I deliberately exposed this photo to the low lights. I wanted the sky almost completely burned. As you can see in the details I have used a ND (B+W 110) filter. This filter reduces about 10 stops and helped me controlling the light in on the walls, saving all of the details and at the same time blurring the water a little bit.

 

This Village in Ger? was submersed by the waters of a dam constructed in 70?s. The villagers were forced to leave their homes and nowadays ruins are hidden almost of the time.

 

Due to the driest times my Country is passing through, the levels of the water decreased allowing our eyes to contemplate the remains of the village.

 

Cheers
