From Opus: The reference photo is the middle photo of seven: three with slower exposures and three with faster exposures. This was a Nikon D700 with a 28-300 lens. Since I was just walking around and shooting multiple hand-held exposures for HDR the settings were a bit strange: f7.1, ISO 1000. The exposures ranged from 1/800 second to 1/8000 second. Most below the fold, click for full size.

Who is the artist? Or would it be sculptor? Grower?
The last one has a story to tell. It’s keeping secrets.
I love how playing with colour and focus completely changes the tone of a picture setting. Everything is the same, but it is also completely different…
The artist is Will Ryman, according to Opus who mentioned this a few days ago.

Thank you Opus.
I like the last one especially.
Those “filters” can be so much fun and I prefer their intentional artistic view to the “use photoshop to make landscapes super pretty” angle.
Many ways to be beautiful.
I must say I love to use the saturation, brightness and contrast settings in GIMP to “wake up” the hidden beauty in pictures. HDR pictures do provide a good starting point.
