Grass on the Moon Photo

Photographer’s Note

Another HDR experience...
I really don't know if you will like or...
After 5 raining days, I was in Stakna Gompa when I saw this incredible view: the landscape looked as the moon is but the green of the grass close to the Indus was... unbelievable!
I hope that you will like...
Regards

Ciao Paolo,

What a huge and wonderful view you captured. Excellent contrasts between mountains and clouds are stunning in your photo while green band and river adding extra value. Yellow valley is spectacular. Congratulations.

Friendly Regards,

This is a terrific view with low and gray clouds providing much drama. The composition is superb and full of impact with the Indus and the greenery placed at the bottom. Very well done!
Best wishes,
Hakan

The polariser has worked well here and as you say, green grass on the moon. However strangely no photo seems to convey this feeling enough. Its just amazing to see these bits of green light in such barreness I always find it really really hard to catch the feeling I had at the time, my photos also lack the feeling I had when you are ACTUALLY there. A very nice photo and the tall trees added that extra umph to the image, prehaps a little more foreground would have been better so as to draw the eye onto the coloured river. It is however a nice sharp photo with great dof and crispy clean air

E' meraviglioso questo posto! Mi pare di averlo già visto in TE, ad es nelle foto di Chanjit; è impressionante il verde nel mezzo delle montagne desertiche.
Qui ci sono le nubi che avanzano dai monti verso la valle: che spettacolo!!
Ho girato parecchio l'India, e però mi mancano questi paesaggi grandiosi. C'è sempre qualche motivo per tornare.
Ma ora sono curiosa di vedere come ha visto l'India la Archibugi nel film da poco nelle sale. Spero di poterci andare presto.

Ciao e buona domenica!!
Livia

Ciao Paolo
davvero curioso notare la striscia di vegetazione vicino al fiume e tutt'intorno desertificazione.
Ma poi in fondo è proprio così che va, l'acqua è la vita.
Buon giorno e buon'ora legale!

Again lots of structure an details from the landscape as from the clouded sky. I think typical for an example where the hdr may contribute to make a setting a little more exciting. Nice pp and also managment of the colour balance in this one too Paolo

Ciao Paolo,
You are really a master when it comes to landscapes sceneries - I also like your photos of roads - of course Ladakh is splendid and inspiring, but your light is really wonderful.
Bravo, I'll add it to my theme if you don't mind !
Cath.
