“Dreams pass into the reality of action. From the action stems the dream again and in this interdependence produces the highest form of living. The dream was always running ahead of me-to-catch up, to live fore a moment in union with it, was the miracle.” Anais Nin

kevinw
This a fantastic image. I would be curious what you camera settings were?
TaniaLosada replied
Hello Kevin :) Yes, of course. They were:
- f/4
- 1/25sec
- iso-800
- 28mm
Digital retouching is minimal. Only used PsCS2 for framing slightly and adjust levels on the stone floor before the desaturation. It was 19:14 in December and intense fog began to get the ground level at 2500 meters elevation, in the Barranco del Poqueira, near the Veleta.
TaniaLosada replied
I didnt carry tripod so I used a wall as support ;)

Peter Hill
I like the fact you have made the lamp a focal point of the composition, and done it well, when so often the urge is to frame the shot without it. That took some control of technique too. Veery impressive work! Wonderful shot.
