    Endless Landscape

          12

    Taken in north coast of Spain. Two shots combined to deal with the

    great view angle I needed. ND and GND filters helped me to work out

    the exposure values.

     

    C&C are more than welcome!

    Me suena, jeje. Esta es de las fotos que me quedaron pendientes por hacer.

    ¿Cuándo estuviste por allí?

     

    Me gusta el juego de colores que has conseguido y el aspecto tan natural de la foto a pesar de la diferencia de luces. Bien trabajada!

     

    Un abrazo!.

    Espectacular, no me canso de ver este encuadre una y otra vez. Cada uno es distinto y el tuyo tiene una fuerza y dramatismo espectaculares.

    Poco a poco se dejan ver tus fotos del viaje, eh? Ya tenía yo ganas..

     

    Un abrazo!

    Esta foto también me gusta mucho con esos 3/4 planos tan bién diferenciados. Me encanta como los cuernos se asoman con esas tonalidades azuladas y desprovistas de colorido como grandes fantasmas que observan al fotógrafo. Muy buena!

    Para mi también es quizás la foto que más me gusta de las que has subido hasta ahora.

    En cuanto a composición no tengo peros, pero sí que trataría de bajar algo las altas luces sobre los picos que las veo un poco pasadas y sacar algo más de detalles en las zonas oscuras de la masa arbolada.

     

    Un abrazote!

    For me this is an incredible shot. Well composed, with a lot of depth and strength which shows the absolute mastery of light the photographer has. I'm really wondering why so few comments and rates.

     

    Anyway keep up the inspiring work Patrick because all your work is poetry for the eyes.

  1. This image turned out to be somewhat difficult to process due to the

    extremely high contrast and I'm curious about your thoughts about it.

     

    Does it look natural? Maybe a bit dark?

     

    Thanks for your comments and time.

    Thanks for all your comments that really appreciate. Regarding the color of the sky the only modification in PS was playing with the WB in the overall image. Adding more blue emphasizes the purple color of the clouds but there is no local adjustments in this sense. Concerning the color difference between clouds and water the only explanation I have is that the water color is the result of mixing the color of the clouds with the tones of the rocks under the water. This is more noticeable the closer you are looking at.

    A heavy cloudy sky didn't offer any option for the colorful and 'wow'

    sunset I was hoping for. But it wasn't an impediment to get back home

    with a satisfactory image. The separation between the naked rock and

    water held my attention and looking for compositions I was rewarded

    with this simple but appealing arrangement of lines, textures and

    shapes as if I had completed the magic puzzle of Nature. Once I

    visualized the scene and knowing how to frame it, it just was a matter

    of using the right technique and filters.

     

    Your feedback and comments are more than welcome.

  2. I like the simplicity of this picture and how the rock complements the branch leading the eye in a 'S' shape. The moving clouds is the icing on the cake to a very good picture. Congratulations.

    Very often clouds have a key role in my landscape photography. That

    afternoon I was rewarded with the kind conditions I was looking for

    long time now. Usually, although this is the kind of weather every

    landscape photographer is dreaming of, it is, at the same time, a real

    challenge for the current state-of-the-art sensor technology. For this

    picture I used a number of different techniques, both in field and in

    post-processing. I used a polarizer, a 3-stop reverse GND filter and

    3-stop neutral density filter for getting a 20" exposure. The RAW file

    had the red channel end clipped and I discover that the best way to

    get rid of that clipping was to generate four exposures from the same

    RAW file, from -3 to +1, and generate a HDR file with photomatix.

    After that, I used that file as a base layer for getting a smooth

    clouds sky without the red channel clipped combining it with the RAW

    exposure for getting a natural rendition of the FG and MG.

     

    I'd really appreciate your comments and I hope my explanation is clear

    enough as my mother tongue is Spanish and very often it is very

    difficult for me to express what I have in mind as I wanted.

    Muy buena Oscar, buena luz, momento y una composición muy cuidada y estudiada. El único pero es quizás algo de falta de definición, pero supongo que será por el procesado para web. Saludos y Feliz Año!

    ¿O sea que esto es lo que me perdí?, pues que envidia. Me gustan mucho el juego de tonalidades cálidas de las rocas en contraste con los azules del cielo y el agua. Me gusta además el dinamismo que tiene con ese primer plano tan fluido. Que tengas un feliz año 2009. Cuídate!.

    Tremenda Saúl. La composición, colores y reflejos de la luz son de lujo. Mi únicos peros (para que la imagen sea de 10!!) son: trata de sacar algo de detalle en las rocas laterales para quitar todo indicio del uso del degradado neutro. En la zonas de sombra de las rocas del primer plano trata también de sacar algo de detalle. ¿Por cierto, en que zona está hecha? ¡Cómo te inspira tu isla!, ¿¿eh??
