I'm confused. Is the picture supposed to be a photograph? It doesn't look like a photograph. It looks like a painting. How did you get it to look like that if u don't mind my asking?
It's beautiful btw...

It is a photograph. It is a composite image made of 7 exposures of the exact same frame. The seven exposures range from -3EV to +3EV. Each exposure has a different level of detail on different objects in the frame. The frames are combined to produce an image with the most level of detail possible. This is called High Dynamic Range imaging. It does not look like a photograph because the settings I used when combining the exposures were off by quite a bit. My most recent works are much more realistic in appearance.

Okay call me ignorant for sure. That's incredible! :jawdrop:

I've never heard of that, but as I said I don't know much about photography. You're certainly an amazing artist and I intend to look at more of your work. Thanks for replying! :o)

My pleasure. If I am an artist I am a failed one. That is why I shoot pretty pictures instead of creating them with my own hands. Photography has always been the venue of the failed artist. Photographic art imitates real artists' work.

I don't know if you're a failed artist or not. There is art in what u do, the way you take the photos and have the end result come out so beautiful. I would not call u a failed artist. I know artists that are wonderful painters but also are great photographers as well. So I don't know, I think it's more like real art, is trying to imitate the fine details of a photograph, but the painter is also trying to make it better, more perfect, because photographs are NOT perfect are they?
I hope I am making sense and I apologize for this being so long. :(

I dont see why you would apologize. Photograph are only as perfect as their ability to communicate what the photographer wants them to. There is no such thing as perfect. If perfection existed artists would be out of business. Perfection is subjective. When someone can not see or comprehend the mistake of another, they call it perfection. A creator is always aware of the mistakes they make, even if they are arrogant enough not to acknowledge them. It is infinitely easier for a great painter to be a great photographer than for the opposite.

I agree with you. You notice I said "the artist is trying to make it MORE perfect." I know that we can not reach perfection but we all still strive for it anyway, I know I do. As for your last statement, well I don't know if that's true or not but being ignorant of any proof I will take your word for it. Thx for responding again!:)
