About yesterday's homepage feature of my gray beach photo made me take another look at it and all the feedback gave me inspiration to work on it a little more. Here is the latest revision.

It looks great David! The retouch is wonderful. Just love the way the top middle to left of the photo fades to grey...beautiful!
Regards
Peter

Good retouch job, and interesting PS work - looks unearthy, weird. I like strong effects, but I wonder if the black toning in the left corner is a tad too strong, not sure


David Hofmann   {K:23763} 2/4/2005
now that I look at it on a different monitor I agree, the left corner is a little too dark. My LCD at home is too bright sometimes.

You know, since I saw your photos I have a different eye for landscapes now. When the scene has too much contrast and parts suffer from that I always think about the multi exposure technique and how much better the image could have been.

Your images and others here on Useful have made me become more aware of how beautiful landscapes can be and I plan to do that a little more, too.

Una instantánea magnífica

God, it's so nice to someone still does film photography. I used to shoot with a Mamyia c330f and a Miranda F (for 35mm) Panatomic X in FR22 developer and Tri X shot at ASA 200 then (under)devloped in Microdol X - those were the days! Beautiful, emotive shot, btw!

thanks for your comment on my "Mariam"


Fadel J   {K:13747} 2/16/2005
What an image David! this is amazing, I love the tones and the 2 birds, wonderful!

Very nice indeed! On the thumbnail, it looked like an aerial shot of a coast line.

This is a nice surprise. I love the tranquility of the shot.

Cheers

This is really something! Stunning picture, high quality work. Real art! Like the diagonal that wave makes.

MMMmmm....this one went straight to favorites. Glad to see the BIP! The tones, composition and simplicity are really exquisite! Tremendously appealing to me...my kinda shot, all the way!!! Very serene...

Love it!
Jan

thanks Jan, the atmosphere that day on the beach was magical. I have never seen such a dense mist but still it was warm and the sun was bright (i guess it was a thin layer of coulds/mist at the ground). I took the waterstep photo and the sand feet at the same day.


Mohamed Banna   {K:34231} 7/2/2005

ricardo longhi-frantz   {K:9666} 11/26/2005

Very nice mood David. Have to be out on days folk wouldn't go out to get shots such as this.
