About Subject background: I tried to create a really bold and dramatic landscape composing. Therefore I made several exposure series and ended up with this one... Hope you like the outcome... It's highly possible that I will upload different alternatives of this scene.

PS concept: Lots of work here... In a nutshell: 2 layers of different pictures, blended with subtraction

Special equipment: Hoya R72 plus B&W circular polarizer, tripod

As always: Honest feedback highly appreciated

Very dramatic and suggestive image. The clouds are fantastic. Yes there?s a apocalyptic feel into it!

This is an excellent piece of work--filled with moodiness and strength. The b&w is handled extremely well. My only suggestion would be to give it a stronger --edgier--frame. This matt seems timid for such a powerful image. Nonetheless, I find it very inspiring!

Congratulations,
--George

How beautiful Thilo... This pic is a breath take for me... Really... Really... dramatic... I love how the clouds look... with the rays of the sun trying to pass, and the lonely tree that its going to fight for it life... Love it my dear friend...

What I do not like much is the framming... It would look great if it was thinner... IMO it takes out of focus some of the dramatism...

What do you think???

Cheers,

MaLuisa

Emotional and perfect black and white.

Looks really apocalyptic ! No typical IR feeling. The sky looks like red filter + high contrast, the ground somewhat softer and ...sad, difficult to find the right expression. Compositionwise, I like the curved lines in the foreground, as counterpoint to the sky, connected by the tree.

Very dramatic photo! I like the contrast between the light in the clouds and the darkness. Great impact!

T,
Lots of drama with the unsettled sky and lonely tree. They make quite a pair. Really cool.

Hi Andre,

thanks a lot for your kind words!

Hi George,

appreciate your feedback a lot. You may be right with the framing, will keep that in my mind with my next projects.

best wishes,

Thilo


Thilo Bayer   {K:50301} 3/31/2005
Hi MaLuisa,

you're probably right with the framing... I have to invest more time into that topic in the future.

thanks a lot!

Thilo

Hi Carsten,

you managed to get to the point ;-)

You're right: This is no special IR picture. I struggled with RAW and the manual WB - this doesn't seem to work together. So I combined by chance the two layers with subtraction and was quite pleased with the outcome.

best wishes,

Thilo

I think you succeeded in creating a dramatic scene, the tones are very strong, the whole scene is powerful dear Thilo!


Uwe Bachmann   {K:10222} 4/4/2005
das motiv und das bild an sich find ich super - was keine überraschung sein wird - aber der rahmen, der will mir in diesem fall überjhhaupt nicht zusagen. wirkt irgendwie sehr einengend und harmonoert imho überhaupt nicht mit den grauwerten des bildes. sorry thilo....aber da es ja nicht auf den rahmen sondern auf das bild ankommt, bleib ich bei einem positiven gesamteindruck.

vg, uwe

Thilo Bayer   {K:50301} 4/5/2005
Hi Uwe,

na da bist du nicht der einzige mit dem rahmen-"schocker" ;-)

danke fürs feedback,

Thilo

I like also this one but eventhough it's not very important I'm not sure about the frame.
My best wishes
