This HDR image may be a stretch for Minimalism but I like to think of it as an abstract expression of that genre in a kind of aquatic, artsy way. This boat is from “Little” Washington, North Carolina. And this was another beautiful day for photography. Just like a few prior posts from that day, I had the perfect weather from storms to sunshine.
Processing: Five shots were loaded into Nik HDR Efex Pro for tone mapping. I added quite a bit of structure in the decking and water to get that texture along with the more pronounced details. I used Curves and a slight bit of High Pass filter in Adobe Photoshop for the finishing touches.
Equipment used: Nikon D700 with 20-35mm f/3.5-4.5, set at 35mm, f/16, ISO 200. Handheld.
Whatever you what to classify it as, it is an excellent image Mark.
Guess just calling it a boat is safe. Thanks, Len.
Nice shot here, Mark.
Showing only a portion of the subject stirs the imagination and makes for a nice scene.
Thanks, Jimi. Appreciate your thought on this one.
Minimalist enough to warrant the tag. It’s good to focus in tight every now and then.
Thanks, Mark. Yes, I agree. I’ve got a few more up close shots coming up soon.
Terrific image Mark.
Thanks, Edith.
