Inner landscape
« on: March 23, 2016, 21:10:49 »
Sometimes, while photographing, pictures might turn out like landscapes of imagination. Inner landscapes that might resemble a dream or a fantasy. Sometimes one is able to capture the hole scene or some small fragments that the mind put into a new contex. This contex might vary greatly based on cultural and religious background.

Today I photographed vortex underwater and by some reason it resembled to me, more like a intergalactic wormhole or a volcano on some far away planet. And with some simple PP it became just that.

With the danger of being introduced to some of your inner thoughts, fears, fantasies and/or fobias, show me your inner landscape :)

Before I read your text and saw your amazing picture I already thought of this picture. It was 9/Jan/2015 on the way to the cremation of my mother, when I saw this stain on the floor and was immediately grabbed by it. I cannot say it had any meaning, it just expresses a feeling, an impression, an echo of the moment

Just what I had in mind Frank! I see a woman in a black dress moving in a grey landscape. No wonder you saw this on that occation.

Very nice Børge. I see the bubbly volcano quite clearly - like on some exotic sci-fi planet surrounded by a dense city, all lit-up at night.

Børge, that is one of the best photos I have seen in quite some time.  Thank you.  I will be appreciating it for quite some time!

What lens did you use to capture this?

Glad to hear Tristin! I used the Nikon 1AW1 with the 10 mm f2,8. I think it was set to f5,6.

As a child I grew up with the fairytales of Asbjørnesen&Moe. It was illustrated with the drawings of Theodor Kittilsen. His drawings shaped my imagination of creatures, places and phenomenas in nature. Even to this day I find myself seeing things that I think Kittilsen might draw.

The image in #9 for me has the charme of a spray painting, some super-photographic, flowing ... style .

The mood is bending magic nature, moonlight fairy tale ... wonderful that this is possible.

Børge, another spectacular image!
I really like the softness of the foreground  :)

The softness was added in PP to make the scene look like I felt then and there.
