Landscapes: Honorable Mention 2021 (amateur)
ENTRY DESCRIPTION
I shot this image on a photoshoot to Scotland, primarily to shoot the iconic Forth Bridge.
I had a particular image in mind, and a chosen location a short distance away, but did not have favorable weather conditions, until the final morning.
I used a long exposure, using a 10.0 Stop ND Filter to smooth out the water, and streak the sky, but was delighted with some mist rolling in during the exposure, this helped to isolate the wonderful bridge, and create the image I had pre visualized in my head.
After this the mist completely obscured the bridge for a couple of hours! A wonderful mornings photography I will never forget.
AUTHOR
I am a photographer based in Chester, North West England, an area of the UK blessed with some amazing countryside and coastline, and a strong industrial heritage, all of this influences my photographs.
I love being out and about with my Nikon Z6II camera, it's amazing how the light changes, you can re visit the same place, and every time you go back, it looks completely different, I try to capture the beauty of the landscape through photography. If find Photography adds another dimension to my life, it's also wonderful for the soul and piece of mind.
I have only, in the last few years, rediscovered my passion for photography, and in particular black and white fine art work. I remember back in my University Student days reading and being knocked out by the amazing work of Bill Brandt and Ansel Adams, and more modern photographers such as Michael Kenna and, looking back now, it was these images that made a real lasting impression on me.
