“I offer images- I conjure memories of freedom that can still be reached- like the Doors, right? But we can only open the doors, we can't drag people through. I can't free them unless they want to be free. Maybe primitive people have less bullshit to let go of, to give up. A person has to be willing to give up everything- not just wealth. All the bullshit that he's been taught- all society's brainwashing. You have to let go of all that to get to the other side. Most people aren't willing to do that.”

- Jim Morrison

Gears:
Canon EOS 350D
EF-S 18-55mm
Cokin P121
Cokin P121m

Settings:
Focal Length: 21mm
Aperture: F/22
ISO-100
White Balance: Cloudy

Edited in RAW(Lightroom) with only saturation increase, contrast and levels adjustments and merged in Photoshop as a 4 shot panorama. Then gave it a boost in sharpening as a final touch to bring out some details in the rocks. The red cast in the sky is because of the effect of stacking two cokin filters together, it's not manipulated!

Anyway, as someone who loves to take photographs, one must really appreciate light. The light wasn't that great when I shot this, but we really should make the best of it eh? I'm glad that I came to this spot again. It's quite an experience.



Cheers,
Luke

At first look I was struck by the reflection of the sun. However, while on a phone call I was staring at it and what really took me away was how the sun's rays extend past the trees. The clouds really enhance this. Beautiful.

da-phil [2010-02-18 12:59:04 +0000 UTC]

if you did not mentioned that there is obviously a color cast in the sky due to stacking cokin filters nobody would have recogised it
unfortunately the same happened to a lot of my photos as well and they didn't turned out as fantastic as yours :/
i will definitely change my filters...

nice shot mate! keep the good work up!

haha i wonder if i need that lol to think of it if i do used that filter wont the light change be too much from the 1st to the 4th photo?

couleur In reply to equinoxe7 [2009-01-12 08:07:42 +0000 UTC]

become more magenta, because the of the UV and IR waves. But you can solve that in custom white balance.
