Description
Did you know thatin old villages,
up over the highest mountains,
when everybody still sleeps
but the Sun has already risen,
fairies run through
every lil' alley to make
everybody yawn?
Taken inside Calcata, an old village which rests on the top of a hill, surrounded by small mountains. It is a very small and peaceful place, and people get up really late so we could take a walk up to 9:45 a.m. absolutely with none around!
Do you notice the cat? He followed us all around our walk! (he was hungry I suppose, and none was there to feed him... except of us!
)HDR of three exposures. Not retouched in PS, except for a low noise filtering.
[Post-work: ] HDR + noise filtering
[Software used: ] Adobe Photoshop CS3 beta + Noise Ninja plug-in

You have pulled this off well. Almost more like a dreamish painting than a photograph. Which I think is somewhat what you were going for. I'll sound like a total nerd for saying this but it kind of reminds me of Harry Potter haha.

heheh, no worries, I know nerd worse than you (who said "me"?!?)! It's funny but I must admit I still don't have full control of what an HDR will look like at the moment of shooting... well, let's say that the results are still pretty random, I try different things once on the computer, and this approach worked so I went for it!

This is absolutely magnificent. It looks like it has been painted or something, which makes it easier to imagine it as some kind of fictional land. xx

Lol tell me about it, I've got a bit of a backlog myself!!!

ghghgh, we've survived worse moment, we'll make it through! But it'll require time... at least the time we need to consider the "clear all messages" button!

I know, I've considered that one before but I like replaying to all the messages

The matching of the warm and cold tones is just amazing! Beautiful piece of art! A favourite from me!
