Artist's Comments

This is Betty's Bay, South Africa......A Really beautiful, calm and rural beach town across False Bay from Cape Town...We've had a house here since I was born and this place is known for one thing only.....wind, wind and more wind(and the world's densest flower population....7000 species per hectare) . It's always blowing and it blows like hell. It locks you down in your house and it makes enjoying nature almost impossible.

I went there yesterday with my girlfriend just to spend valentines day away from any parents...and when it got close to sunset she told me the wind had died...I just laughed and said 'yeah right'...and to my surprise it did...So I grabbed my cam and went to this lake...

pano of 6 vertical shots....[][][][][][]

cokin p121...lots of processing

I'm getting sick of pano merging. want that god damn lens.NOW

I have to say, even without the nice fancy lens, you do a good job with the panos :) For such a windy place, its amazing to have gotten 6 shots with barely any ripples on the lake.

Wow dude, definitely a great photograph. I'm completely stunned by the visual clarity and seriously the beautyful taste. The scenery is amazing. A guaranteed +fav man. Btw when you make a pano, and you load the images into PS. does the entire image sort of curve? so you would have to crop it in order to get the above rectangular image?

Beautifull landscape... I really wish I lived where you did... Nice photo!

Did you think about the composition of the light? the reflection of the mountain and clouds? the rocks in the water? the grass on the left and on the beautifull lighter/darker edge of the lake? the houses on the foot of the mountain?

You know what, I think you didn't... What do ya' say?
