graphictree Posted July 17, 2006 Share #1 Posted July 17, 2006 Advertisement (gone after registration) OK, so this is probably in the wrong category but the thing that makes it work for me is no the caves but the silhouettes of the people ... so its people not landscape? It's from a set of caves called the Redd Flute caves near Guilin in China. Digilux 2, everything automatic... gareth Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

graphictree Posted July 17, 2006 Author Share #3 Posted July 17, 2006 Stuart, Many thanks! I can't take any credit for the colours ... the Chinese light their caves extremely well! And its Reed Flute caves (my mistake) not redd flute! Aparently there are reeds growing outside the caves that are particularly good for making flutes! gareth Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

hm1912 Posted July 17, 2006 Share #5 Posted July 17, 2006 A truly beautiful photograph. This would make a great large print, in my opinion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmarman Posted July 17, 2006 Share #6 Posted July 17, 2006 Love this one; technically very difficult but your camera has managed it on 'Auto' !!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan_drabek Posted July 17, 2006 Share #7 Posted July 17, 2006 Advertisement (gone after registration) Love the color. This is one that wouldn't work as well in black and white. I agree that this would make a terrific large print. DD Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lambroving Posted July 18, 2006 Share #8 Posted July 18, 2006 Surreal... Is any of this lighting colored? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
arthury Posted July 18, 2006 Share #9 Posted July 18, 2006 > Surreal... Well, it's unreal, too! Good question: was the cave artificially lit? Reflection is perfect. Effective color display, indeed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Effective color display, indeed. Hi! Sorry for delay in replying - have been in Ireland for a week on annual holiday. Yep. the cave was artificially lit - the Chinese take their 'natural wonders' very seriously and leave almost nothing to chance. They'll tell you where to stand to get the best view and light the scene appropriately for you! In my defence, I sneeked away from the 'approved route' to catch this image. The people you can see as shadows on the left are standing in the 'correct' place having their photos taken! And sadly, the Digilux's 5 MP sensor makes really big prints unrealistic (especially at about 400ASA)... otherwise ths one would be on my wall now! thanks for all kind comments gareth Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
