Hi Carsten, wow! Beim durchlesen dein "About" dachte ich, "Phew, das klingt ja kompliziert". Aber das Resultat lässt sich durchhaus sehen. IMHO ist den Himmel etwas zu dunkel geworden, (Dodge und Burn?) aber mir gefällt sehr diese Breite und Leere im Bild. Schöne und gelungene Arbeit - Congrats
Herzlichen Grüsse aus der Schweiz
Neil

Hallo Neil - danke fürs vorbeischauen ! Klar, viel dodge and burn... War eine Mordsarbeit, das zusammenzumontieren und Tiefe zu gewinnen. Zum Himmel: ich liebe nun mal starke, kräftige Farben, immer an der Grenze zum Kitsch ;-)
Viele Grüße
Carsten
(übrigens: dein Deutsch ist nahezu perfekt !)

That neat... here in the southwest we are clear sky about 90%+(avg 7" rain a year) except in late July August there are monsoons mostly in the mountains around us ( live in the desert valley) so I'm collecting clouds for later (:-))
Pixmaker works fine tnx again

Very nice one. Has a very nice warm summer-feeling. The sky is very dramatic, as always :) (which I like!)
Personally I think the dark cloud in the upper left corner is a little too dark for the overall daylight feeling of the scene.

The photos that you take and put together are soo intense. One of the few people that you can actually feel the depth and sense of 3D coming out. Amazing, as always I love looking at your Posts.

You've obviously spent some time on this one and the results are certainly worth it.
I didn't realise there was anywhere in Germany this flat - looks like Australia !

Wayne, you have been in Germany ? Great. This plane is actually not so large, the superwide FOV makes it look sooo large.

Well Carsten, if you're still on your learning curve for your "digital darkroom" skills, you surely can't have far to go. Nicely stitched together.
Great DOF here, a nice balance of colours, and great lighting in the cloud formations.

Wow, you're a master a this kind of photos, really envious on this one, so brilliantly finished .. Peter
Where does one find tips on this kind of finishing with layers ? I understand the layers principle, and that the mode was "multiply", but what do you mean with blended ?
Regards, Peter

Beautiful colors, quality, clarity, composition.
Stunning,

Peter, thanks for stopping by (and excuse the delayed response, quite busy after my holidays now...).
I found tips on layers for landscape on luminous-landscape.com ("understanding digital blending" section), there are many other sites with free info on the net but this is quite comprehensive and understandable.
With "multiply blended" layer mask I just mean the blending mode, here multiply. A composite, with a layer mask other than normal blending mode. My preferred blending modes are multiply and soft light, opacity 10 to50%.
Cheers
Carsten

just to show what I mean... |

Very dramatic landscape, great work, beatiful colours. I had also a look at the photos you made during my holyday, they are splendid.
For this one I should prefer a rectangle and eliminate a few cm of the bottom, I think that would make the composition better.
Ferdinand.

Carsten this is another lovely vista...of course I like the clouds and the lighting is beautiful, the depth you've created with the layering of the clouds is wonderful. Love the blues and golds, great complementary colors, and again the huge expanse is excellent, love the lines in the field leading the eye to the vanishing point, and your stitching is seamless, I looked hard and cannot tell where you did it, very nice work...:):)Linda
