As this shot has received so much attention i feel the need to give a bit more information on where it is and how it was made.
The shot was taken at Llynheilyn Pool which is located in the east of Wales, luckily only a mile or so away from my house. You'd be lucky to find a day in the Welsh countryside with no wind but every now and then we are blessed with one, perfect weather for capturing reflections. The clouds just happened to be perfect, as if they were reaching out from the sky itself. When the shot was taken the clouds sort of formed a shape that resembled if they were being sucked in by the horizon, giving a great sense of depth. The wide sigma lens really emphasised the depth well.
A 6 shot HDR image generated in photomatix with later editing in photoshop. No filters of any kind were used when taking the photograph.

Canon 20D

Photoshop for levels, colour enhancement and mild dodging and burning.
Some people have been asking me about this stuff so I decided to gather all information in one single article on how to make your own portfolio, in a profesional and clean looking way. I hope it's useful, because these steps I myself take.
In this article I will provide you some ideas how you can build your own homestudio for considerably cheaper price than it would cost to use "official" studio gear. I will also show you few examples where I have used the gear I describe during this article.
`karemelancholia is one of the most genuine deviants you could ever met. Always active and a true deviantART cheerleader and supporter in every aspect. You can always count on her to lend a hand or get involved, and you usually will find her doing large amounts of both at any given moment. She's consistently reports on contests around dA, showcases the efforts of her fellow artists and shows her charitable side through various activities. Besides all of this, she's a truly talented artist which is why she's an obvious choice for deviousness this month. Read More
