pauledell Posted February 4, 2010 Share #2 Posted February 4, 2010 Ece, A stunning picture. Are you going in a new direction with your photography? How did you arrive with this image? Paul Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

allamande Posted February 5, 2010 Author Share #4 Posted February 5, 2010 Paul and Guy, Thank you for looking in and for your generous comments. Paul, this is a branch that I got on quite by accident. I picked up a book by François Brunet called Photography and Literature. It turned out to be a stimulating read, and it inspired me to experiment a little. I start with a book that means something to me. Then I pick image(s) that I think reflect the mood of the book. This is a composite image created by overlaying two separate images. It is an interesting exercise for me because the outcome is totally uncertain when I first consider a book for this type of visual description. At first I was only thinking about works of fiction, then I decided to challenge myself to see if I could work with a nonfiction book in this way. McPhee's book is one of my favorites on the geological history of California (it is literally made up of bits and pieces that drifted from all over and coalesced over geo time). When we look at the beauty of the land as it stands now, it is hard to believe that all of this coastline will shift East and go under the current eastern plate in due course. Anyway, these are the thought processes that went into this image. After some experimentation I thought I had the sense of the book with these two, combined in this way. I am glad you liked it, the feedback encourages me for further explorations. All the best, Ece Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlbertoDeRoma Posted February 6, 2010 Share #6 Posted February 6, 2010 I love photos that make me stop and look twice - or many times ... like this one. I am not sure what I'm looking at in the superimposed photo, but I like the end result. Alberto Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
