C'est vraiment super .
J'ai d'abord penser que c'Γ©tait des fractures dans un mur ,puis j'ai vu que c'Γ©tait autre chose .
Je pense que tout est abstrait dans la nature et que c'est l'esprit qui qui attribut aux images un sens . L'esprit est abstrait lui mΓͺme .

Very nice. Such a simple picture, but it invokes a lot of images.

And the quote, I was just reading something very similar in The Way of Zen by Alan Watts. The photo seems very influenced by Buddhism or Taoism.

This was absolutely inspired by Zen philosophy. Since I started studying Zen Buddhism I approach everything differently, with a new eye

ginnov In reply to MaciejKarcz [2009-05-13 06:51:58 +0000 UTC]

I love Zen. I think I almost reached enlightenment once, I was in the car half-asleep, my head was hurting but I had this profound sense of understanding, like I didn't know what I understood but didn't need to know. It was very natural and spontaneous. But it wore off so it wasn't the real thing. Anyway, it definitely reflects in your work, good job!

solid. i love concept behind this! and it's just branches in water. great!

curious though, how did you achieve this effect?

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

MaciejKarcz In reply to Timothy-Sim [2009-05-13 01:56:23 +0000 UTC]

Thanks, I used a longer focal length to isolate the branches and then just overexposed the scene with a longer exposure. This made the water appear white and blurred the waves

Very interesting piece and I wonder how you got these twigs like this with the reflections! I see you mention water, but this is so well done that I'm not sure! Excellent work and congratulations on the DD!

MaciejKarcz In reply to MythArcana [2009-05-13 01:55:29 +0000 UTC]

There were some small waves in the water, so I used a longer exposure to cancel out their effect and that also produced those fuzzy kind of reflections
