Evening Rising

8"x10"
available
Took a cue from yesterday's piece and used a lot of retarding medium or whatever it's called, trying to get some really smooth wonderful transitions, and then going back and layering some colors, the weird light on the land and the glow around the stars, and it's like I'm not sure if it worked, because glare is such an issue, apparently, with nocturnes. I mean, it looks gorgeous in person, but have you ever tried to photograph something like this? Augh!
No, seriously, have you? Because tips would be much appreciated :)

  1. Looks wonderful, mysterious in a way, love the glow around the stars.
    I know what you mean about photographing dark paintings, it is hard with the reflections off the shiny paint and sometimes the black looks blue enstead of dark grey. One trick that helps is not to get too close but zoom in with your camera that gets rid of some reflection.
