Beautiful.
Did you treat it in any way, it looks almost like a drawing it's so striking?
Hi Eva!
Actually, I wasn't sure whether to show that shot in public, as the original is horribly underexposed. I did have increase the some of the dark tones to compensate. That's why it has come out the way it is.
It's a shame, because the subject of the photograph is rather nice. Oh, well...
I think it looks great and I don't mind that it's been treated - the end result is what matters (to me anyway) and I don't care through what means...
Nicely composed.
Thank you Eva.
I really do try to resist playing around too much with the original image. I am somewhat of a purist about such things. That said, if a little alteration can save a nice composition, then why not. Moments do not repeat themselves in time.
Hey, I have been a touch busy the last few days, so sorry for the lack of communication and blogs. There will be a full report with photos of my evening with the Bhutan Ambassador to India, Nepal and Japan.
I appreciate your purist approach to photography & the quality of it.
But I agree with your "moments do not repeat themselves in time" and for this reason I think a photo can be fantastic even if it's not perfect, or if it's been treated - because the moment it catches can be the "it" that makes it great.
One of my favourite books during this past year in Ireland is a book with amateur photos, simply with images of "life in Ireland". It is the product of a charity project that one of the radio stations here announced last year. They asked people to send in a photo - any photo - taken on the 1st of October last year. And they got a huge respons. Some were photos taken with mobile phones even, and far from perfect.
But I thought this was a brilliant idea (especially since it was for a good cause as well ), and I love some of the photos in there. Truly amazing and for me a great way to see what Ireland is today, and to see the things that matter to people. It makes me happy every time I look through it.
