And we stayed in this camp with a more simple approach. Some of these tents still had the UNRWA imprints on them... We had a great barbecue out there, though :)

My favorite aspect of this thread is the ability to obtain numerous sounding boards and sincere constructive feedback from friends who share the same passion.  

This photo is a (rare) repost of an initial draft version that I shared this past summer.  I was in love with the uber dramatic sunset and thought I had some good negatives but was convinced - largely from the (direct and indirect) feedback here - into being unsatisfied that I had really executed on my vision.  After about 7 months of toiling and running test prints on Fuji Flex high gloss photo paper (which has a slightly warm base) I think I have finally come to a resting point.  Thought I'd share it!

 

This picture is so unearthly yet still in no way artificial. Over the last hours I came back more than a dozen times to admire this work. Your never ending search for the best picture and the appropriate way for presentation on the best materials available are a constant source of inspiration.

 

For now I struggle with the decision to try home printing some of my pictures on an inkjet printer. I am at a point where I would like to see more of my pictures printed in bigger sizes than in the occasional books I do for my family or on calendars. I still do not know, if I can justify the costs of a good printer, ink and paper in a long term. I relied on laser printers for home printing for a long time, as I had bad experiences with the inkjet printers I owned, be it the pricey inks, smeared prints or dried ink after not using the printers too long. Anyone with some recommendations? Btw., I would use a printer for color prints, as I have my darkroom for real prints.

Lovely image. The tonal range captured is pretty good, considering the  prevailing light. Did you use a polariser?

Cheers,

Ramesh

 

 

Thanks a lot, Ramesh. No polariser on the lens, just a bit of touch on Nik software.

A brief pause from the Color Implosion pictures, although I have some more to share.  The first in a series from the Chap Olympiad.
