Ciao Paolo,
Grazie per il tuo gentilissimo commento, ho apprezzato molto. Vero che questi alberi sembrano usciti da un quadro di De Chirico? Mi ha sempre affascinato questo posto ed è stato...

To borax: vignetting
Hi Stephane,
I was actually surprised by the vignetting with the Canon 17-40, at least at 17 mm. In this case I corrected the falloff in luminosity in the bottom corners but decided to leave it in...

To Floydian: gates
Hi Henk,
There are in fact two gates at Sesriem, an external gate and an internal gate. The external gate I believe closes at dusk and allows you into the visitor centre and campground. The internal...

To Adrique: gate closing time
That's an interesting question and one that we asked ourselves. They keep track of the registration plates of all vehicles entering and I believe also the number of passengers, so I expect they would...

Hi Yves,
Thanks for your comments and also for taking the time to look at my Namibia pictures on pbase.

Hi Nikki,
Thanks for your visit and critique. July/August is perhaps not the best time of year for the American southwest - at least I had a lot of haze, but was lucky with Monument Valley. I hope...

To Dpbours: Sea and lighter area
Hi Dennis,
Thanks for your critique - I like the idea of the sea, I hadn't thought of it but you're right, you can imagine it being there just off to the side.
I'm not sure what happened with the...

Hi Fabien,
Thanks for your critique, I'm glad you liked the fisheye perspective on this one. I too quite like curved horizons, as long as they're not overdone.

Yes, I left the distortion intentionally but in any case I think that any attempt at correction here would have ruined the foreground. In any case I quite like curved horizons (up to a...

Hi Yves,
I think it's in situations like this that you have to resort to drastic measures :) (see workshop).
