What an extraordinary and dramatic image! I like the perspective and the light. A little too HDR for my taste but the strong composition cannot be denied.

Javier Miqueleiz I know, it may be quite controversial but the lack of grads at the moment made me take a couple of photos and create an image with a high dynamic range, but I think that the most important thing was trying to show the beauty of the rough, no matter with what technique. I've been some hours working on this photo because I also have doubts whether it was too much or not but...that's the final result I guess :). Thanks for your comment Sean.

Sean Reidy Don't get me wrong. I really like this image. I shoot multiple exposures myself and sometimes use HDR but more recently have preferred to blend in Photoshop using layer masks for a more realistic result. This image is far and above the usual HDR images that I see. It is obviously HDR but its other strengths, the dynamic composition and tremendous dramatic perspective more than make up for that. I am filled with admiration.

Javier Miqueleiz Thank you for your kind words Sean. I will try to use the method you mentioned the next time I find myself without the grads :)

hermosa miguel. A mi gusto se te pasó un poquito la saturación y las nubes quedaron muy HDR, pero la perspectiva es INCREIBLE!
qué lente usaste?

Javier Miqueleiz Hola Nicolas, he probado a editarla bajanddo la saturación, tanto global como por zonas pero al final me convenció más esta. Entiendo tu opinión sobre las nubes, no obstante, pienso que el efecto es mayor en el suelo, que las nubes están más naturales, pero es opinión personal. La lente es la 14-24mm de Nikon, una auténtica joya.

Nicolas Marino gracias por la respuesta javi. me imaginaba. yo también tengo el 14-24 y como bien dices es una verdadera JOYA! Lastima que no tome filtros. Si el 16-35 que salió hoy es tan bueno en calidad óptica como el 14-24, iré por el cambio ya que saco mucho con los filtros de densidad graduada y este lente limita en ese aspecto (teniendo en cuenta que no me gustan las HDR). Ya veremos qué pasa!
Espero ver más fotos así pronto :)

What a perspective:-))

Javier Miqueleiz Thank you Ben! I had been for two hours or so walking in the beach, selection the position, looking for the best perspective to show the greatness of the Flysch and my best shot was in fact my last one :). I'm glad you've liked it

awesome Javier!

Is this HDR?

Javier Miqueleiz Thanks Daniel. I could say it is, I didn't carry the filters (Auch...) so I had to play with a exposure for the sky and for the land, and then tweak the contrast, burning dodging and so on :)
