Hyperrealism


sky is radial blurred but I think the still clouds you see is the sea bed. Original shot was a long exposure.

Talking about the top part.. :) Thanks for clarification.

Orchard Residences Panorama

Normally when I shoot any panorama over 4 tiles I get extremely worried about the work needed for the end result.. So when I shot this 10 tile panorama.. you are correct to say I was thinking this image would never see the light of day.

But since my first experiment was successful in stitching and then blending.. I decided.. this would be an easy step up.

And it was!

Camera Info:
Canon 5d Mk 2 | Canon 24-70 f2.8L Mk1 | ISO 100 | f 10.0 | focal length 28mm (10 tile, 4 exposure panorama with B+W polariser)
 

Amazing! May i ask the location of Bolder and Subtleties? Thanks
 

This is superbly executed. the angle is also marvellous.

The Great Escape

Normally I blend my multiple exposures first and then I stitch the panoramas up.. But for this image.. I tried the reverse and although there was some tiny misalignment in between exposure panoramas, it was so minor it wasn't too difficult in the end to create this image.

Because of this workflow switch, I could really get very detailed with my blending to the point of it looking so natural that it's quite amazing at 100%.

I hope you like this image and I wish you a great week ahead!

Reign

Today, I had the experience of getting bitten by a leech. It was interesting actually.. But now I can't stop bleeding.. I bled all over my floor when I was working on this image.

So, a tip.. Don't stand in the water for too long without the proper footwear cause you never know what will think of you as food.

Left in a field, I was lost without a foreground element.. In the distance I saw a man cutting the grass. But as luck and labour laws allowed, he stopped work at sunset and I was granted his mode of labour all to myself!

Inside Wall Maria

Just finished watching the anime Attack on Titan and if you've not seen it yet, I highly recommend you do! It's visually spectacular and the action sequences are astounding.. But there was some parts that felt a little draggy but overall its awesome! Can't wait to see if season 2 comes out.

For anyone who is familiar with the show, this image may feel so similar to the scenes where the titans attack the city..
