p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Fingers of the fjord


If you start counting where the waves break there are actually 5 fingers :-D

This is one example where a few years ago I would've simply looked at the scene and said "man, I wish the light was different.." and the camera would've not left the backpack. The shot is taken sometime mid-day, and the light was pretty flat. I could see hints of some clouds though, so I actually spent the better part of an hour shooting at this location, mainly because I pretty much know that I can eventually bend a sky to my will. The cameras these days hold so much data it's absolutely crazy! I showed the processing to a few clients on Skype and they were kindda upset. Not because they didn't like what they saw, but because they realized they had a ton of shots like this that they pretty much wrote off due to the flat light :-D. As one lady put it "wait... are you telling me I can go back now to my shots in Antarctica and do this? Well... good thing I have a vacation coming".
That was pretty funny :-D

As always, any comments are appreciated.

Hey Bruno,

What a nice scene here, I like the 5 fingers! And yeah, it's amazing the detail we can pull out of shots now, and also the power of the processing to turn an otherwise flat shot into a piece of art.

A excellent composition, to be sure. I do find the sky a little too dark along the left horizon in particular, and the sky does also look super noisy even at this size.

Very nice and compelling image! If it were mine, I would lighten the sky just a bit. But still, this is a great image! Thanks for sharing.
