Two photos for the price of one
Oct. 1st, 2011 11:33 amToday, I have two photos to share, which neatly illustrate (again) that sometimes having a person in your landscape will actually add to it instead of distract.
Here's a photo of a winding road leading through the Picos mountains in Spain, with steep cliffs looming over it:
Nice shot, but perhaps a little dull, wouldn't you agree?
Here's a photo of the same location, but this time with a passing motorbike. As you can see, the shutterspeed is slow enough to allow the biker to slightly blur, which I think adds even more to the photo: the biker's clearly not the subject here.
( Cut to spare the flist )
Personally, I like the second shot much better than the first. And I suspect that I got lucky with the biker; a car in the shot might've drawn too much attention to itself.
