Under the rainbow

Photograph Information Photographer's Comments
Challenge: Free Study VIII (Advanced Editing IV)
Camera: Canon EOS-20D
Lens: Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L USM
Location: Skógar, south of Iceland
Date: Apr 12, 2005
Aperture: 8
ISO: 100
Shutter: 1/4
Galleries: Landscape, Water
Date Uploaded: Apr 18, 2005

 Taken with a 24-70L at 70mm. Used a polarizer to enhance the rainbow and a 106nd filter to get the slow shutterspeed. Very little processing but cropping, curves and sharpening. I actually had to desaturate the whole shot a little bit since after using curves the boost in contrast made the colours a little too much for my taste. I also used the sponge tool set at 5 oto desaturate the grass and right hillside to tone down just a little bit the brown colour.

Taken during the same trip as my shot in "Abandoned houses".

Great capture! This type of shot makes us mere humans look rather insignificant. Nice colors and crop, good job!

I like the people in the shot. Really gives perspective. What's that on the right? Shopping cart? Wheel chair? I might have cloned that out.

Stunning. Magnificent. The sense of scale provided by the people and bench really makes me want to stop and gaze at everything. Very well composed.

talk about bad timing...this is nice enough for a free study, but it absolutely would have rocked the minimalism challenge. nice shot, good luck in this challenge!

Powerful image with the two people giving the perspective/story needed for our imaginations to wonder. The rainbow adds that magical touch. All the best.

A nice photo with nice use of scale and shutter speed. I think it would have been helped with a larger foreground.
