Again, wish I had something besides a nightscape to enter in this free study but I really only have four choices. I can enter something from my paw project, wich I have shown on this site before and I prefer not to do that. I can enter some photos taken at work, stil life for commercials wich will never score well here. I could enter some childrens portraits for christmas cards but I don´t want to do that as kid´s photos never score well and besides, I would always ask for permission of the parents first and not like I am going to call them up on the last day of the year for something as trivial as a challenge here. The fourth option is then to enter this :)
By no means I think this shot is all that great, far from my best nightscapes but I HOPE it´ll score somewhere around my average, think it´s more likely it´ll stay close to 6 though. I only got two chances to go out at night this month as either I was up to my ears in work or the weather was simply s**t, we got no less than 4 days wich were completely crazy and a lot of others wich had bad weather and trust me, we live in Iceland and don´t use the term s**tty weather lightly. Not much borealis going on here, they were pretty weak that night, you could almost not see them with your bare eyes. The moon was almost full so it lit up the foreground nicely and provided the hint of blue in the sky.
This is pretty standard editing, just raw conversion, darkened sky and brightened foreground with curves, cropped, curves for contrast and sharpened and added frame after resizing. Oh and this was one of the first photos I have taken after I turned 30, me and Indriði went out at about 9 pm on the 27th and this was taken about half an hour after midnight on the 28th.
Happy new year! |
