Watercolou or Oil

Landscape photographers I admire have a definitely style and are usually consistent to that presentation. I can usually spot a Littlejohn, Baxter or Talibart a mile off. Because I admire these photographers, much of my post processing strives for a certain look which I feel is not uniquely mine. A soft ethereal woodland, a dream like mountainscape or drama at sea, a look I’ve seen before but I’m sure wasn’t in my minds eye when I took the photo. A good example of this is to compare my photos from yesterday to today. Yesterdays has the lighter touch more akin to watercolour, than todays bolder vision which feels more like an oil painting, I leave you to guess which photographer influenced which. In the end of the day I enjoy trying to emulate even if I never get there, and it’s my love of these places in the first place which got me standing there pressing the shutter button.
