First Light by The Narratographer

This morning, I was up with the lark. I set off at just after 6am and arrived at Ladram Bay Holiday Park a little after 7am. Why they build these awful places right on the edges of areas of beauty, I will never know. Seriously, these caravan parks are vile and they look like a death camp on the sea. Rows and rows of identical huts, all deserted at this time of year. The paths muddy, the hedges and grass overgrown – it is a wonder why anyone would actually want to live here, even if only for the summer. Anyway, finding your way around a place you have never been, in the dark, is not easy. Having parked up and walked towards the sea, I eventually arrived at the top of the cliff. But I couldn’t see the composition I wanted. I walked right. Ten minutes later, nothing. The hedges are so overgrown at this place that you can barely even see the sea. So I walked left, found nothing but what looked like the playground from Pripyat (that is the town next door to Chernobyl, for anyone who wonders what I am on about). So I went the other way again, nothing. I started to get frustrated. Eventually, having gone back the way I came for the third or fourth time I eventually noticed how to get a decent view. You have to climb a fence, walk up a little bank and teeter right on the edge of certain death! Yep, the featured image for this trip was attained by pretty much hanging my camera and tripod over the edge of the cliff…it is the only way you can really get the shot. So having taken all my shots here, I have decided to use a little bit of Luminosity Masking in order to bring out the detail in them. It can look a little like HDR, but it isn’t. Luminosity Masking allows you to selectively adjust brightness and contrast in an image, whilst protecting all other areas of the image. With the detail that is in these amazing rock formations, I thought it was the only way to do the images justice. I will be writing a tutorial on LM very soon. I hope you like the images.

Middle Child by Jessica Drossin

Sometimes it’s a great joy to forget about concepts and stylized shoots (and maybe even basic cleanliness) and just pick up my camera and shoot when I see my child’s soul staring back at me.

Fire In The Welsh Skies by The Narratographer

Tal-y-Llyn lake is situated in the Welsh district of Gwynedd, at the southern foot of the Snowdonia mountain range. I stumbled upon it purely by accident, having gotten lost on my way somewhere else. On the morning I found it, at around 5.30am a couple of days ago, it was as calm as a graveyard. Slowly, before the sun made an appearance to the right of frame, the clouds were lit a deep, burnt orange.
All of the colours in this image are original. This is not an HDR or had any editing (apart from sharpening) at all. I wanted to capture a little movement in the sky and the water, without turning it completely to milk. So, instead of using my Big Stopper, which would have resulted in an exposure time of around 4 minutes, I instead used a trio of ND grads, one of which I inverted, in order to balance the exposure but keep it within an acceptable range.
