Torn Between Dreams
Having to choose, Forced to choose, Compelled to choose, And most of all tired of choosing, and faking the knowledge of knowing the difference between the right and the wrong choice Longing alone for the answers which seem to never come and trying to make sense of a life that the years made too complex too narrow too dull too sad Since I'll always have to choose I would prefer to choose with the intuition I once had the one that allowed to see the light inside each path the reason inside each option the heart inside each step I'm lost. A choice? José Ramos __________________ Portimão - Portugal Pentax K10d + Sigma 10-20 3 stop ND Grad filter Manfrotto tripod Remote shutter release ISO:100 Exposure: 1/2 second Aperture: f/22 Technique: I love to go to River Arade shoot... that bridge always make up for an interestig compositions, and when the tide is low, there are very nice water guiding lines to enrich the photo. Here I went for a darker approach, as I wanted to mainly emphasize the water courses, both the main one and the water branch to the left, and be able to transmit the serene and quiet ambience in that afternoon end. Since I'm a huge fan of the classic "star shaped sun", I went with a much smaller aperture. Unfortunately, this was the best and the worst choice, because most of the photos were ruined by excessive light diffraction, a consequence of small apertures. As to post processing, I converted the raw file with the usual "fill light", exposure, clarity and colour balance adjustments, and then applied noise reduction, minor tweaks and sharpening in photoshop. |
