This is the first of three compositions, color and bw taken last weekend. It falls short of what I had hoped compositionally, but it does have merits. just... i haven't thought them up yet. ;)
The day we took these shots, it was cold. The light was grey, the sky overcast. For brief moments, the clouds would part enough to give us skies like these, but that did little to lighten the mood of the photographs.
I shot up with this photograph, because i was trying to convey awe. Not of the statue, but of the place I think. Cemeteries remind me of God, because they remind me of death, and death has never held much fear for me, only the expectation of meeting Christ.
Critically speaking, I think i should have moved a little to the left. the angle prevents me from seeing as much of the angel as i'd like.
Ok. I've been working on my HDR's lately and I like this one. Its vibrant, rich, deep. I has balance. I like the way the skyline on the right is balanced with the sort of industrial look on the left.
I'll admit, stl never looks this pretty. :) but we wish it did. and hey, I'd hang this on my wall.
This is an HDR and a stitched panorama. I took two sets of 3 photos 2 stops apart and stitched them with Autopano Pro, processed the HDR with Photomatix, and color corrected and finished it in photoshop. The final image is 5000+ pixels wide. I plan to print and hang it in my living room. ;)
Thoughts? Comments? Criticisms? come on, I can take it.
