Both of these are also from my Greenland kayaking trip. The first one was taken at about 9:30 pm and the 2nd around midnight.





C&C Please

Bloody awesome.

The clouds and light quality in #1 are just great. The rocks on the right seem to suffer some light falloff as they further away from us, maybe this could be recovered?

The midnight silhouette has a lot of intrigue in it, involving the viewer, especially because of the light and the trio captured, presumably enjoying the even better view from the rise on which they are standing.

I want to go there!

my kind of sunset time

that first one is awesome!

Lovely sunset shot Steve,

In the first one, the clouds are really magic. A small nit may be that I find the right just a tad too dark.

The second is perfect for me

Amazing, both of them I really really like. Also the odd sunset times make for more interesting viewing I think.

They are both magnificant.

Is the first one HDR or blended... or a good old graduated filter? The colours are great. Definitely a great canvas print!

The second keeps me wanting to see more...... By going there!

Wow.. both are stunning! It looks like a amazing place to visit. Do you have more that you could share?

Thanks All,
yes it is a stunning part of the world for sure. I would dearly like to go back and see some of the north west which is apparently very flat but with enormous ice, the odd bear and loads of Minke Whales as well. Saving saving saving........

I used a 3 stop ND grad when shooting both images. The first shot has had some levels and curves selectively applied to make it sing. Since getting the feedback about the dark right side I had dodged that out a bit in PS and it definately looks better. The second shot has had almost no PS work other than a quick crop, contrast and saturation boost.

Great shots Steve. I would try cropping a small amount off the bottom of #1 by taking the rock out of the bottom left corner.

Was there any danger of those ice cubes out there sinking your kayak?

Love both of them.

I love both of them, and the shots in the other set. I am completely captivated by those clouds in #1 and #2 just has a very magical feel about it.

One word wow

Ben, it may be easier if you reply directly into the original post rather then create a new one.

Yes.

I have merged the "new" topic into the original.

Wow it's so magical
I like #2!

Super stuff Steve. This trip has provided the inspiration for your best work ever. You're really setting the bar high and I'm guessing a lot more awards will be coming your way. Time for a book I think...

Absolutely stunning images Steve.
cheers

wow!
