Non-literal rendering, desert landscape...
« on: March 17, 2010, 10:30:55 PM »
Hello.  The folk I was shooting with over this past weekend, tend to get up at the crack of noon.  Ergo, I had a lot of "high noon" lighting to work with.  As I looked over my files, I started to think about the highly graphic desert images from comic book westerns of my youth.

Ergo ....  :-)

Very good, I bet a BW version would be reminiscent of the old movie westerns as well.

I can almost see the Lone Ranger at the top.!!!I agree B/W may add the old western touch.

Good image!  It'd be very alien to me unless I'd seen the films/TV .  Great colours.
