The Story Behind “Melting Giants “
I use Singh-Ray Neutral Density filters to create my long exposure images and occasionally write blog articles for them.
They have just published my article that explains how I created the “Melting Giants” series.
You can read the article here:
A magnificent series and thank you for explaining the technical issues and how you solved them.
Very interesting. Your beautiful photos epitomize the idea of making an image as opposed to simply taking one.
Highest compliments and thanks for sharing such breathtaking series. Taking something real in nature and bringing out such melancholy beauty is art of the highest order.
Thank you Barry! I like that phrase, melancholy beauty. May I use it?
Jim, I do strongly believe there is a difference between “taking a picture” and “creating and image.” Thank you!
You are very welcome Roger, I don’t like dwelling too much on the technical side but it seemed appropriate for the Singh-Ray site.
Hi Cole
This iceberg series was fantastic love the deep black and white of the photographs. I very much enjoy your writing about your experience of place and thoughts. Have a great New Year.
Thanks Alan!
Amazing & timeless 🙂
Hi Cole…beautiful Cole…like how you just happened on to this…had the vision…and found a way to make the best of it through your perseverance…technical skill…and help from a friend. Showing there can be many dimensions to creating a great image. As always, thanks for sharing too.
Not your greatest work…
Singh-Ray, there just one of the quality filter companies. Hoya has seemed to have missed out on this endorsement.
Better luck.
Cole…
Happy New Year… Just received my copy of LensWork with your cover, congratulations. Great work as always 🙂
Thanks Pongsatorn! You sure got your LensWork late!
Fascinating images and narrative!
I posted and shared this on my photo FB page.
Thanks much Steve!
Hi again from Australia, Cole.
I’ve particularly enjoyed the series on melting giants.
Brilliant work.
It was a very interesting article on how you went about it. Thanks for sharing it.
(I wish we had icebergs here in OZ. currently sweltering in a massive east coast heatwave).
Cheers
WIllie
Thanks Willie. You do have icebergs down there, they’re just melted!
Hi Cole. I met you in Twillingate during your visit to Newfoundland, and was intrigued by your long shutter technique with exposures of 8 or more minutes. I’m glad I found your blog of the adventure detailing more information than I gathered from our brief chat. Judging by the fabulous iceberg photos, I would suggest, it was a very successful photo adventure.
All the best
