Is that a real picture? I mean, with the colors and the lack of streetlights and... wow... looks more like a painting...
Yes, it's a realy picture. There was a low layer of fog blanketing the city and the sun was rising off to the east (camera left). There were thick clouds off on the distance. The colors are actually very close to the way they were at the time and I haven't cloned anything out of the photo (like streetlights).
The "paint" quality of it reminds me a lot of this photo I took out in Malibu earlier in the year. Also, a real picture and also nothing cloned. The only real "photoshopping" was a some work with levels, but again, actually pretty close to the colors I saw through the lens.
yeah, I have made and sold prints in the past. My usual print sizes are: 8x10, 10x15, 10x20, 16x20, and 20x24. If you're interested in a specific image or images (MINI or non-MINI), drop me a PM and we can discuss it more.
Surreal. It makes me thing sandstorm or at least a double exposure with a beach. I brain first thought that oil rig was the skeleton of a pirate ship!
The scond photo is great to...I think it would look good in sepia.
About 20 years ago, I lived in Orange County, used to go to Belmont Shores and swim in the harbor there, around Naples Island early, early in the morning. Those photos made me realize how much I miss the place!
Wouldn't be surprised. I grew up in Long Beach, and they mine for oil right in the bay. But to conceal it, they built "islands", and huge drills/pumps on tracks, and then covered them in a 'pretty facade', so from the coast it looks like an island with neat colored towers & trees, that aren't in the same spot they were yesterday.
