From the recent post on over use of neutral density filters, this was another example of over use of 3 filters here. Funnily, the overuse of filters does contribute to severe vignetting. The correction of that rendered the photo a little unreal. Still, this image somewhat gave that air of inspiration and energy!!
The shot taken at Mt Baw Baw a while back. It was very dark, broodingly wet when I visited a random creek in the region. A shot out of curiosity turned out not so bad when I viewed some time later!
Taken by Pentax Da* 16-50mm f2.8 -> The zoom with dodgy reputation for hunting autofocus and bad quality control from Vietnam!
extremely vivid. but beautiful.
ReplyDeleteMultiple textures, lovely!!
ReplyDeleteI like it. I would have thought the "silky" effect came from slowing down the shutter speed. I'll have to try the filter approach sometime. Nicely done, James!
ReplyDeleteI like the picture, Vietnamese quality control was probably good enough...
ReplyDeleteGreat colours.
ReplyDeleteVery silky, dreamy, almost pixilated-looking. I love the vivid, jewel-toned colors.
ReplyDeletethis turned out beautiful!
ReplyDeleteNice contrasting colors. You would never have guessed the area was dark and wet.
ReplyDeleteI like experimenting but unfortunately I have no knowledge more then my lens on the camera. Filters and Vignetting words seems foreign to me. Anyway, forgive my ignorance on photography, I like the result of your experiment. Cheers, enjoy.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteTo answer your question, the flowers today on VDP are roses.
