glenwoodsherry 0 Posted September 1, 2007 One of the images that I am working on, a series highlighting the many moods and personalities of Tampa Bay, this one in B&W. Your comments are always welcome. Glenwood Link to comment
sideris 0 Posted September 1, 2007 You've managed exposure and DoF in a formidable way, gray tonal range is simply precious. From my point of view this kind of shots are very difficult to do with a good result because the absence of a focal subject, at least for me, then the photographer should compose the image previously in his mind in order to obtain the best from the scenery. The risk is given for a plain, flat image of nothing. But here the sight is driven from the tree of the foreground -tracing its dark curve with grace- to the white line of clouds at the background, and coming back again to the foreground through those rests of a wall. Captivating Glenwood. Great work you done Link to comment
glenwoodsherry 0 Posted September 2, 2007 Jack and Carlos,Thanks for your comments.I have always felt that landscape photography was one of the hardest genre' to work in, since you have so little control the weather and light conditions. I have been at this location many times in the past, but this was the first time when all the different components came together.Glad that you liked it.Glenwood Link to comment
Guest Guest Posted September 5, 2007 I love this! That layer of clouds makes the scene for me, and highlights everything else. Link to comment
glenwoodsherry 0 Posted September 5, 2007 Kim, Thanks for your comments; one of the great things about shooting Florida scenes in the summer is how the clouds can build up so quickly in the afternoon. I had returned to this location many times before, but either the sky was overcast and the light flat, or the sky clear and the light burned out all details. This time I had the pleasure of watching an afternoon storm front come in from the Northwest, giving a distant focal point to the scene, while allowing the strong light over my left shoulder to throw the old concrete breakwater slabs in relief. I have a great deal of respect for those photographers who specialize in landscape images; they have far more time, and patience, than I. Glenwood Link to comment
