“ #Watching the #Stars Come Out in #Patagonia” by Ross Schram con Haupt (Via Reddit.
The image is a two-shot focus stack, each of which is a 20-second exposure that Haupt took with his Nikon D610 camera and Nikon 16-35mm f/4 lens at 24mm, f/8, and ISO 400.
The image is a beautiful example of #how the most basic of composition guides can be used to create the most sophisticated looking images. Haupt has composed the image using the simple foreground-mid-ground-background principle and has successfully created a marvelous piece of art. With the 20 second exposure, the blurred water in the foreground makes for a strong foreground. The colorful flowers in the middle then make for a beautiful midground. And finally, the tall standing mountain peaks and the calm sky with the stars just starting to come out create a marvelous background.
What this image communicates is that you don’t always have to make your images overly complicated for them to stand out.
