thelightseeker, about 1 year ago

Stunning photo, maybe my favourite of your excellent gallery. Thanks for the nice comment you left on mine! Can I ask you a thing? Many of your shots look like HDR images but I guess it’s only an effect you like to give with postprocessing, right? Anyway, very cool and personal style!

thelightseeker, about 1 year ago

Well, I read some comments and I realized that they actually are HDR (even though not only, if I’m not wrong). Good work!!!

Paul Louis Vil..., about 1 year ago

Tooooo right! HDR is just one step along the road to a final visual destination. Neating, clarifying, airbrushing, contrasting and softing all play a role along the way, what percentage i use of each depends on my mood and the image in front of me! I’m telling you i can spend hours apon hours working on one shot! Thanks heaps for your comments lightseeker!!! :D:D:D

Michael Cuneo, about 1 year ago

Awesome.

Hans Kawitzki, about 1 year ago

Added this to my favorites as it is just stunning and I know how much work must be involved in it as I used to do simular work (not as good though) with my slides in the darkroom.
Is there a way to learn this type of work from a book/photo course ??

Paul Louis Vil..., about 1 year ago

Sorry Hans, no books and I’ve done no courses!!
Whilst normal human beings spend their spare time socialising, i’ve spent most of mine in front of a pc learning how to get the best out of Corel.
Thanks mate!! :D:D:D

Hans Kawitzki, about 1 year ago

Thanks Paul looks like I have to do the same.Never heard of COREL and looked it up,guess you mean Corel Paint Shop Pro ? I’m using Elements 2 at present.

Paul Louis Vil..., about 1 year ago

Spot on mate, that’s the one!!

Hans Kawitzki, about 1 year ago

Thanks Paul

DarrellMoseley, 11 months ago

Hello Paul, That is nice work, and love the train. Was that your way of say’n H1. Yesterday was another amazing day. I had gone to take pictures of the (old train trussel) wooden bridge. Shortly after getting there, the train was headed towards me. I got the shot, right before it passed. At the time my camera was displaying my shot, the conducter leans out his window and throws me bottle of water. I missed him, and he missed me, but it was one of those moments! Thats great, to be choosen 4 world photography. I am so not worthy. Thanks for adding your take, for us to be inspired.n Darrell

Paul Louis Vil..., 11 months ago

Thank you so much for your kind and very generous words Darrell!
Of course you are worthy! :D LOL!
Great story mate, why on earth would he throw you a bottle of water? LOL!
...and you are spot on, H1 = Heaven One!

Thanks for inspiring me and especially him :)
