Update! Paddle before the storm! / Overschie / Rotterdam

Check it out on black or at 1280 x 850 pixels if you want the full sized drama! ;-)

 

Update september 2012

Reprocessed this one too, at 40cm x 60cm. Curious if the extreme contrasts 'work' on large print!

All my large photo files for my exhibition went to the printer this morning, 6 files of 40cm x 60cm, 18 files of 30cm x 45cm. Pfff, a lot of hard work went into those files! Checking everything at 100% with a magnifier - at least that's what it feels like. :)

 

This week is going to be PR week, getting there! www.zzapback.nl I'll be back, catching up! :)

 

About this shot

I witnessed an amazing pre-sunset yesterday, went home too early when the skies closed. Half an hour before sunset it turned into something fabulous, a pink and blue dream.

 

The shot above looks more like a nightmare! ;-) It's quite a *bit* over the top - I know - but I like the drama to be honest. This is my favourite spot in Overschie, in case you didn't notice, hehe. ;-)
