The Lone Apostle

Postby kahkityoong on Fri Oct 30, 2009 6:32 am

Congratulations! This is the Image of the Week selection for the Photo and Digital Art Gallery, week ending 30th October, 2009!

Great Ocean Road, AUSTRALIA

Similar composition to a recent post in the landscape category. However this is 2 exposures blended, one at 60 seconds to record the cloud motion, the other at 2 seconds to capture the water flow.

Canon 5DMkII, 16-35mm 2.8L, ISO 50-200, f9-f14.

This is quite spectacular- a perfect combination of exposures. All the angles converge, leading the eye to a point in the distance, which also emphasizes the depth of the picture. The smooth beach and water create an air of tranquility. Just lovely. :)

This is awesome Kah Kit. The colors are very vibrant and I like the texture and movement of the water and clouds.

Another well deserved IOW! This is pretty dynamic (to do the technical execution) and I love those colors big time. This is definitely a wall hanger Image

Best,
Sven

Really fantastic blend and a technique worthy of further experimentation, I often come across scenes in need of this treatment in the mountains and to be honest, this never even occurred to me... great work..
