Photo: fog and light

[aletheiafelinea]

Very busy recently, but yesterday I needed to take some documental pics (nothing serious, no worries) so I had the camera on me, and a most awesome sunset happened... ^^





Do you feel, too, that houses often happen where you need them the least? *g* Not to mention power lines and billboards and such... If not two damned roofs I could have it cropped less and the composition would be nicer. Still, I like the light. Though it's still not as great as it looked on site. I need something with a decent CCD. Then again, I wouldn't have taken a heavy monster with a decent CCD for crappy documental pics anyway, so... In spite of that, I must say I'm surprised something presentable worked out at all - you can't really see (this counts as success *g*) but it's zoomed pretty hard.

I agree it's so frustrating when you have to crop, tilt the camera, use a sub-optimal angle or whatever 'trick' is necessary to get photos of nature without signs of human activity. But it's certainly not obvious that you've needed to make any compromises in this shot. It reminds me very much of the work of Colin Baxter, who, if you didn't already know, is a prolific Scottish landscape photographer.

I didn't know him. I see he does exactly my favourite sort of photographs, and what I'd love to achieve some day. I feel very honoured by the comparison! :)

If you like Colin Baxter, I can also highly recommend checking out Colin Prior, another remarkable Scottish landscape photographer who is known for shooting at dawn and dusk.

Yay! *takes notes* Who could think posting this will be so profitable in recs! I must do it more often... :D
