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...
very nice :)
ReplyDeleteIt's awesome how the tree exactly points to the north star.
ReplyDeleteClever, and amazingly good alignment!
ReplyDeleteI might have a seizure at any moment from starting at this, but it will be glorious!
ReplyDeleteI understand the skill and the vision it took to produce this, and you have my standing ovation.
I saw a great photo of a tall transmission tower, like the ones used for radio, with the north star placed directly behind the top, the circling stars proviging the impression of radiating radio waves. So I've been looking ever since for other tall objects to place the North Star behind. I have many ideas, some of which may take months or years for me to physically get to, so it's a theme I'll theme I'll be working on for some time to come.
