This in my opinion is my best photograph to date, yet it's not even in my top 5
Think editing on a tip top screen cost me a little in the brightness stakes for users voting on normal machines.
shot in absolute darkness had to crank iso to 128000 to align shot then shot 7 mins glow is light pollution from manchester on the left sheffield on the right
That's probably the best shot of that hole I've seen here at DPC. I would be curious what the shot would have looked like 20 minutes earlier. I do love the orange there on the left water, but the foreground does seem a little dark.
These reservoir sink holes always intrigue me, and yes, a portal to another world is just as I think of them. Your composition combined with the night time exposure and eerie sky add to the feel.
Mesmerising and the use of the long exposure quite literally "sucks the viewer in".
Unique image, not that it hasn't been used before :) but you are the only one on DPC I think that has Giles. Great TOD to take the shot with distant lights and some activity in the sky. Long exposure has mirrored the lake. It just seems overall a tad dark: the hills and the 'portal' specifically.
It's such a difficult decision to make; should you leave it as you shot it or should you boost the contrast and saturation for a FS? 7.
I was just looking at a photo of this today in an earlier challege, sometime in 2007 I believe! I thought the photo was very cool but it has been out done right here! Peak district right? It is very well done! I hope to see in on the front page in a few days. Great job.
Great use of slow shutter speed to capture the movement in the clouds. Also I like the muted pastel colors. I think the subject is not illuminated enough. My eye is drawn right past the well to the bright spot in the sky on the left.
