p.1 #1 · Clarity ( NZ style)

something that we have all noticed once in a while iam sure, and is important to ALL landscape photographers is the quality of light.
we always head out at the `best` times AM & PM, always reminded by magazines not to shoot during miday sun.
another thing I and probably many other photogs who look at other `leading` landcape photographers work wonder, is how do they get images so clear? large format we constantly hear against the ear drums. well yes. they certainly have there place iam sure, never actually using such a beast.

well, ive just been going through some more balloon pictures and as the sun had already risen about an hour before, we had seen the soft warm light we all adore.

now bere in mind compression for the file and sharpening has taken its toll, but hopefully you can see what `good seeing` is all about NZ style.

you may have noted or not how sharp and contrasty my pictures have been from there. the light or `clarity` as i call it. its superb and with this brings a great wealth of detail to the landscape.

Hey Simon,

I love it! This one seems to actually glow if you will with light. I like the vibrant colors and the clarity of the shot.

Great work!

Wow! Clarity.... you got that right. Of course the low sun helps bring out all the nooks and crannies of the landscape, but the details in the distance speak for the nice, clean air. Good job!

the light that morning was so crisp, and as nmoted the low angle helps. but even my midday shots also show good detail.

as a side note this is four vertical shot pano, F11 iso 400

Is that the shadow of the balloon on the far side of the lake?
