Breaking all the rules!!


Although the horizon is bent, long straw in front of me and some disturbing things in back of the "house" - I like it!!! The stars are so visible and the northern lights come out nicely in bw IMHO :o)

The funny thing is that I have a really hard time breaking rules!!! Regarding photo taking it is soooo hard - I liked this picture but was going to crop it and correct the horizon but decided to let it go :o)

If that is breaking the rules then they should re-write the rules just for you! Marvellous!

love the photo!!! what equipment do you use? it has quite an IR feel to it
Posted 6 months ago. ( permalink )
Ragnheidur pro replies:
Hm, equipment!!! I took the picture with the 5D and 14mm - used Light Room to convert it from Raw, pushed up the contrast and gave the light in the picture some push.. I think that the IR feel comes from the fact that the northern lights are bright and that this picture was taken over a period of time (37 seconds to be exact :o)

Little Injun AKA Clarence the Cross-eyed Lion pro replies:
You're welcome. That is a bit confusing, btw. I also know a few words of Polish, and in Polish tak is 'yes'.

Luckily your pics don't really need a language, we all understand them ;-)

You're not really breaking the rules. You force them to be a part of your creation. Very dramatic effect.

Well, I guess that is one way of putting it... I tend to think that if you know you are breaking rules, then it is ok LOL :o)

Thank you - the rules are sometimes meant to be broken... In this case the straws are disturbing the view and so many things in the background BUT I like it also :o)

KliX says:
You make fantastic pictures of the wild nights of Iceland, with Auroras and wild landscapes. Don't care about rules. Forget about them. This is just great. I lie especially the structure in the grass and of the house and fabulous mysterious northern lights.
Is this a true B&W or it is a converted digital picture?
Excellent!

Thank you so much KliX! This picture is taken with a digital camera in RAW so I converted it to BW afterwards. The norhtern lights come out nicely without color, it really surprised me.... :o)
