Moher Light
-
I came across this one from last year,
Not very much processing,
it looked pretty similar to this-j
Interesting picture… You will get mixed reviews of this one I’d say but I like it… very much so in fact… would look great as a big canvas… would work in the abstract section…!

It’s simple and interesting.
Richie is right, it should be in abstract section.
I tried to add some contrast and toning to sepia. Looks more interesting, I think.
Try to play with colours for each section of greys. Could bring you some strong abstract picture.Thanks for the comments gentlemen,
appreciate it-I kinda don’t agree that its an abstraction,
I spent a while on top of those cliffs,
and that’s what it looks like out there-
And the sea is so vast,
you can see the light change for miles around.The one regret I have with this one is that I didn’t put the horizon on the centreline.
Funny you should mention sepia, Roberto,
that’s the colour it was, straight out of the camera (jpeg)
and I changed it to this more steely colour.
Sepia looks quite good, though-Thanks again for the comments-

Looks good Joseph, but I think I need to see it on a better monitor than
the missus’ laptop, perhaps even in print,
extra large.Rob.
I like it, though I’d love to see a monitor filling version of it. I think it’d look good in a nice big print. It reminds me an artist (whose name is escaping me for the moment) up in the Hugh Lane gallery. Large dark canvases with straight highlights
Thanks Rob & John,
Funny you should mention that John,
I suppose this pic may have been slightly influenced :shock:
by a Japanese minimalist artist, Hiroshi Sugimoto,
not sure if this is the one you mean-http://www.artnet.com/artwork/424866740/424065188/untitled.html
I saw an exhibition of his a few years ago,
and it really is marvellous stuff-
Large 4’x4′ prints you can get lost in-j

The guy I’m thinking of is Irish, but I’m still having a complete mental block on his name
I love the simplicity.. and the layers of light – definately would look great printed BIG

Thanks Lorraine,
I’ve printed it to A3+ B+W
on watercolour paper,
like the ones you saw-but it needs to be bigger-

Interesting question – how minimal does a shot like this need to be, before it’s considered art, along the lines of Sugimoto-san?
For example, would cropping out the reflections at the bottom of your shot, and dark strip of sky along the top, make it even better, because it would then be even more minimalist?

Thank you Hauke, and Pete, and Dave-
Hauke, I think you might be right,
Pete, I think you clicked through to the Sugimoto Link :wink:
and Dave, of the big questions,
I think your tongue might be slightly in your cheek here-But you are right,
this one is way over the top-
far too much going on.Have you checked out his interiors?

Mine was actually a serious question!
Is your picture on a par with Sugimoto’s? If not, why not?
There’s less going on in his, so if you cropped yours and made it as minimal, would it amount to the same thing?
Do we need a new thread?! :-)
