La Mazade, Tuesday 25 July, in the evening

La Mazade with the passing days (Continuation)

Tuesday 25 July, in the evening. There was a thunderstorm at the end of the afternoon and the clouds are well developed above my landscape. This evening, the sky is too beautiful to remain ignored. I put the 20 mm lens and I make my centering in placing the whole landscape in the low part, the sky taking the most part of the composition. I never would have believed that those mountains could become so tiny under this immense sky. Given the great tilt of the camera, I was obliged to set the perspectiv upright with Photoshop so that the chimney on the left and the pole on the right, which are not quite very beautiful, don�t be moreover completely slanting. I could have crop the photo in order to remove them but the square format would�nt have well work in my opinion and I wanted to keep the whole sky. In this format 3/4 I find that the sky has really the top of the bill..

It's beauiful, you were right about the sky. The mountains are well captured and I like the cold feeling your photo transmits; Don't understand the tilt! Why didn't you fix it?

Regards. Ali.

Thank you Ali. About the tilt, I mean that my camera was turned toward the sky and not horizontal. It was well fixed on the tripod but this tilt caused a distortion of the verticals. It is not a problem if there is no vertical lines or objects in a landscape, but here there was a post and a chimney (in the low part, scarcely visible in the dark, I admit it) and they were bent on the photo.

This is a nice shot, and with the wide angle, is very different from the others of this spot. I LOVE the clouds.

I like the lanscape... but... A somewhat cyanish tint in the clouds, if corrected,and a tad brighter foreground could help.

Very nice landscape, great composition!

The clouds balance the mountains well.

Simple and very nice shot, Henri. A delight of clouds, silhouettes and blue color. Very agreeable atmosphere. Regards!
