In Search of a Magazine Cover Photo
In Search of a Magazine Cover Photo Back in June I described on my blog a trip I took where I'd focus on vertical day and night landscapes to enter into Outdoor Photographer magazine's Cover Photo contest: http://activesole.blogspot.com/2011/06/in-search-of-magazine-cover-photo.html Well, my new shots from that trip didn't win, but a star trails shot from a couple of weeks earlier in Yosemite National Park did! I hear it'll be the November cover, which should hit newsstands in a few shot weeks. I should have a cover mock-up to show you shortly. It's going to be Outdoor Photographer's best issue EVER! No, I don't know what will be inside yet, but the cover will rock, so they'd better make the rest good! I wonder if they'd consider not putting that big yellow title over my stars... Update 9/12 : Outdoor Photographer magazine has posted a copy of the October issue with an article on star trail photography: http://www.outdoorphotographer.com/how-to/sh...
Beautiful album.
ReplyDeleteSuch dense star trails! Why do the talks disappear 2/3 rd down the frame
ReplyDeleteSathish Jothikumar There was a forest fire burning up by Mammoth Lakes, so the air was not clear down towards the horizon. Not only do all but the brightest stars get blocked, but the brown smoke plus even small amounts of light pollution add some yellow to the air, which combined with the blue bias of the sky at 11,000 feet (even at night) makes the lower portion of the sky tinted a little towards green as well.
ReplyDeleteAh, makes sense!
ReplyDeletehanging on...
ReplyDeleteI guess that tree has been hanging on for a couple of millennia, right?
Peter de Rooij Probably 2 or 3, maybe 4!
