Dear all,
I've just uploaded some photos I took last August on a trip to La Palma:
http://www.worldtraveller.f9.co.uk/travel/lapalma/
"El Roque de los Muchachos" . . .
In spite of the very high contrast in this scene (total loss of shadow
detail; would be problematic with any film for this one; IMO better that
than losing the highlights in it), I like the depth created using the size
of the boulders and placement of the three sister "peaks" in the frame
while mantaining reasonable balance at the base.
"INT dome at night" . . .
Excellent exposure and very pleasing compostion with dome placement in the
frame and the slanting ground. I don't find the corner fall-off
objectionably. Not as apparent in the bottom corners as with the top
corners. With the top corners, it provides an interesting framing of the
dome and the direction it's aimed. Would have been interesting to see a
comparison with another shot using a smaller lens aperture (if possible)
for longer exposure time and longer star trails.
