Not Another Sunset (Reposted for more attention :)), originally uploaded by mavenimagery® Officially Away....
Update: This image has been published by major Photo magazines. Currently, it's being used as a tutorial image in Digital Photography by George Cairn. Don't know what the hell is trying to improve in this image? But again, there is always a room a to improve and enhance an in image!
maven's note:Just digging, rummaging through the archive...bringing the long-dead to live...desperately resuscitating; and the forgotten coming to attention. Tedious, really. But, I'm in love...and love, they say, is madness. Well, here I am. A madman; mad about you...not you, you! Natrure! Photography! A shutter click exchanged for a kiss; a human touch to a camera body; a pair of gaze for a single lens; a smooth skin to a perfect, silky seascape...a joy ride to slow motion of the ocean. Not that I like water; except for drinking, it has no appeal to me. I'm not a water person. Water to me is what daylight to a Vampire. Yet, here I am at the mercy of water; water is life, screams my body. My body is right and wants nothing but evian; a sweet taste from the French Alps? Is there Alps in France? My body doesn't care about the Alps... neither, do I. I'm a slave to my body. Aren't we all?
I gaze far away, at the silky horizon, thinking: One technique for adding some life to seascape. Pause. Call the 911 for ambulance?... is to capture the ever-constant movement of the ocean, the swell of a wave coming in foreshore rocks or running over a shingle beach. I have no idea what I mean by "shingle beach". It sounds like bad title of a B movie. I think what I'm trying to say is that, um, this movement, um, the movement adds another dimentia, sorry, dimension to this image. OK, maybe not to this image, but I'd like to think so...It's my image and I can add whatever I want, right? Right. This is certainly not a new technique, and has many doubters as it does fans. Finally, maybe this is not the time, but please bear with me here. I'd like to answer a fellow photograper's question in front of you. I want you to witness this. Question, this fellow asks: "How to cheat in Photoshop?". My answer is concise. "Learn Photoshop for dummies!" OK, fine! That wasn't a real answer! Here is it is: practice! Practice!
This is for you, seascape, sunset lovers! Enjoy, please...
