There is something about taking pictures in the fall, winter and spring when the sun is low. It creates harsh and long shadows and gives pictures a different contrast. I prefer the light to the summer where it is usually a bit flat and you don't get much contrast. I like the textures and shadows in this picture, it was very good out of the camera but I played around with the curves to get a even higher contrast and added some vignetting. The vignetting was for two reasons, first because I think it looks better but also to mask the flare in the corner from the 40mm lens.

well its nice to know that you have great hits here.
ReplyDeleteClicked on the picture to get an enlarged view - worth doing to see the crisp detail of the image - great shot Cristian.
ReplyDeleteIndeed the larger view is worthwhile taking! Nice contrast but also detail, in my opinion this is a lot better than the grdII or gx series...
ReplyDeleteGood image with great impact. The detail is wonderful. I like the photo very much!
ReplyDeleteTrully fascinating photograph, and awesome detail from that little camera. Very remarkable indeed.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comments guys!
ReplyDeleteThe GRD I produces very crisp images with a lot of details when used at low ISOs and when exposed correctly.
