Almost certainly not a real shot - a shame, because it is stunning. You are brilliant at these photo-illustrations.
Tom Povey - 07/Dec/04Report Real or not, bloody good!
Alex Purser - 09/Dec/04Report Would you explain how you created this photo. I like it, but it does not look like a single exposure. It looks like several photos have been stitched, and like the clouds have been enhanced in some way. It is very interesting.
TP - 19/Apr/05Report I voted rubbish. It's too bleedin' small.
colski - 20/Apr/05Report It's not stitched, just a crop of a single 3Mp frame. The original was converted to greyscale and tinted with duotone - a technique originally used in printing to make interesting prints with just two or three inks. Its also useful today because colour printers are better a printing duotone images than plain black'n'white ones. I also applied some dodging and burning locally to control the detail. The cloud are pretty much untouched. If you're interested, the colour original is on my website (see profile).
Marek - 21/Apr/05Report That's awesome. I put the colour original as the background on my computer, replacing the evil monkey from family guy.
scurve - 22/Jun/05Report Seems real to me - it's all original photographic printing techniques - no problem with that.
You think the Models on fashion mags are not edited in photoshop?
Great job.
