View from bottom of gates pass. HDR. Both images 16 mm f/22. complete tonal range. High contrast red filter used when color data removed. Nature, untouched and awesome. Simple composition, the impact is in the development instead of the content.
Another view from gates pass. HDR. 16 mm f/22. Broad range of tones. Interesting cloud formations.
view of Mission san xavier del bac. 85 MM F/36 HDR. Image does not contain any information beyond tonality. All that matters is that the bells are black, the wall has various shades of gray, and the sky is white. Exposure and development make the image what it is.
Mission san xavier from a far. 85 MM F/36 HDR. Every detail is sharp enough to cut you. Even in a relatively tonally dull photograph (light blue ->white-> yellow), full range is found in the transition to b&w. All small details necessary to capture the impact of the mission against the desert landscape are there. Dont mind the ghosts though, those are just tourists.
view of an old tree, north of the Santa catalina mountains. 85 MM F/36. Sharp distinction of the white-ness of the tree against the blue sky. every small branch is identifiable and clear.
view of the dirt road. panoramic photograph composed from several photographs at 16 MM F/8. Originally was not going to apply this type of post-editng to this composition but others did not have enough tonality so this image was used. as per previous images, not much content, image is all exposure and development
Wow! You have such strong images, especially considering they're all black and white! I'd never heard of HDR, but it's highly intriguing, and you used it well! My favorite image by far was the 5th, of the old tree. The contrasts between where the sun hit the branches and where other branches were covered in shade are striking, as well as the overall character of the tree. Overall I think your most successful Ansel Adams photo was the first, with the sunlight creating a solid white patch above the mountains, and the clouds/the shade from the clouds providing every tone until black.
ReplyDeleteWell done!

Your Photos are very interesting, I really like it!The layout of these images are great, the black-white pictures gave me a strong shock. I think the most successful thing in these pictures is the cloud, they are really beautiful, just like the effect of painting. Great job!
