Description ..inspired by Nightwish's song "Over the Hills and Far Away" (only the title though).

Entry for =hellfirediva 's contest [link]

Wish me luck!


PS! I wasn't sure if I should add a frame.. so I kept it as normal as possible..

brilliant view and aperature value seems to be ok to capture the closest mountains and their details; however, i would have made a different kind of composition. the sky does not give too much to the viewer and by the terms of the inspiration it isn't even meaningful. so a bit more of those mountains and less sky in my humble opinion

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

CatocalaFraxini In reply to rauno [2006-08-25 16:01:14 +0000 UTC]

I didn't really notice that there was too much sky compared to the mountains. In the original picture I don't have more mountain, and it would've looked..strange..to crop away most of the sky. It would've looked panorama-ish without being panorama.

I dunno.. I think the sky gives you the feeling of flying.. Like Nightwish's title "Over the Hills and Far Away", like literally fly over the hills and away..

But thanks for being honest and sharing your opinion!

Pretty A bit of black framing might be nice though

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

CatocalaFraxini In reply to AshenShadow [2006-08-05 20:45:50 +0000 UTC]

I actually have a copy of it with a black frame on it, but as it is for the contest I decided to leave it the way it was originally. In the contest rules it said that I couldn't do anything to it other than what could be done in a darkroom - this referred to manipulations though, and I don't look at frames as manips.. I just want to be on the safe side..

Oh what the heck, I'll send a note to hellfirediva and ask if I am allowed to add a frame

AshenShadow In reply to CatocalaFraxini [2006-08-06 03:10:09 +0000 UTC]

Yea, I don't think a frame really counts as a manipulation

CatocalaFraxini In reply to AshenShadow [2006-08-06 16:51:17 +0000 UTC]

It didn't count as manip, so I've added my precious black frame now

Hehe, I owe that song a lot! It was the very first Nightwish song I heard, and I fell in love with it and with Nightwish. So after hearing that song I was immediately a fan

Unfortunately, I haven't seen the video
Actually there are very few Nightwish-videos I've seen.. they're not that popular in Norway..
