One man's 'highly edited photo' is another man's 'correctly exposed image'. ...
I can't remember the last time I used automatic exposure on any camera. I'd be surprised if he's done any more than adjust the levels a bit.
I would agree that the editing is quite minimal on the shot. It's mainly the long exposure that gives it the otherworldly look.
Really? How does that work, long exposure leading to those deeper-than-we-can-see-ourselves colors? That's interesting; it makes for very cool photos. Need to get myself some better photography skills sometime soon!
Still, though I absolutely love the artsy, almost other-wordly ones, I probably even more appreciate the pictures in this contest that give me the feeling I could have been there, if you know what I mean.
It's good we all look at photographs in such different ways; makes for an interesting competition!
