Sand Dunes Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

This picture was taken in Fuerteventura, Canary Islands, in a region of sand dunes, called Corralejo.

The picture is a scan from an old Ekthachrome 200, and I know the quality is not the best, but I always liked this picture and this place.

Hello,
Here's another photo that reminds me of a painting, this time an abstract from the 1950's. A very interesting division of the picture into clearly defined fields.

Questa foto di per sè è fantastica, ha solo dei problemi di rumore. Ho fatto un ws con Neat Image e, avendo l'originale, si può fare ancora meglio.

Hi again Stefano. Although the quality of the picture is not the best, I can understand why you like it. I is a simple, but sensual composition with lovely pastel colors. Regards, Yvonne

Hello Stefano,

I just spent a long, long time going through your wonderful gallery. So many great shots! This drew my special attention, not only because I like its natural geometry and colour scheme, but also because of the WS.

Your scan "is not the best" quality, as you say, but I'm not 100% convinced about the WS either. In a reply on my "Long Walk Home" (which you also commented on, for which: thank you), in that reply I compared this to the vinyl/CD debate. In both cases I'm not quite sure where I stand. Both have their advantages. Here I think the grains in your original add a mystique, a certain photographical "je ne sais quoi" to the image that the cleaned version in the WS does not have.
So...where do you stand? Do you now use a digital 'cleaning' program?

Cheers.

Benny
