Honorable Mention
In the shadow of dawns
DESCRIPTION
This is a real picture! I was picturing northern lights and realized that my shadow was on the shed... so I made a couple intentional shots to create scenes and that's the best one! Twenty seconds to stay totally immobile to create a clear shadow of myself!!! I was frozen... but so happy with the result! Hope you'll appreciate it!!! AUTHOR
Almost 30 years ago I took a professional photography course in Trois-Rivières, Québec. It was the last year that the course was only with films and chemicals. I did only the first year witch was the monochrome course and i finally switched to numerical colour technology! I didn't make a professional career with photography... But it has been a hobby for all my life. I worked, had a business, two children and got sick and almost lost everything I owned… But I'm still alive and now I finally have the time to really make what I like the most in life: sing and make pictures!!! My dream is to realize a film before I die. What I love in photography is to try unusual ways to create different ambiences, scenes, textures and special effects with the reality without artificial editing... so what you see is the real thing! I only use filters in Photoshop to upgrade the results or remove a slight default. This is my first contest and I intend to participate to all the contests I can and do expositions eventually and use pictures, videos and my voice together to create my own art. Being myself once for all!!! Express the beauty of this universe with all my senses and creativity.
