Landscape Pictures
Greetings from Glasgow, UK, where I am taking a short break before travelling down to London later this week for a conference. This was taken from the west side of Loch Lomond at Firkin Point yesterday. Typical gloomy weather, which was perfect though for such landscape pictures 🙂
The 3rd Ngee Ann Photographic Exhibition will be held from 23 March to 8 April this year. I have taken part in the two previous Ngee Ann exhibitions in 2005 and 2006. For this year’s entry, I intend to submit a series of pictures taken from my Mount Bromo trip last year.
The above is one of the pictures that I am submitting. This was taken at the Savana area in the Tenggar Caldera. I like the way the trees were dramatically lit at sunrise.
Taken from the observation platform of the Jangfraujoch Sphinx Observatory at a freezing minus 7 degrees Celsius, there was certainly no time to be in a wistful mood then!
When I finally post-processed the photo back home, my initial instinct was to boost up the saturation of the blue sky a fair bit. CY thought that the original muted colours was more appropriate for the wistful-looking mood of this shot though; the boosted colours brightened up the mood too much. I have decided thus to stick with the duller colours from the original in keeping with title of this shot. What do you think?
