I've always liked landscape photos that show hills or mountain ranges with varying shades as they fade off in the distance. I have a taste of that in my header photo, and some of the photos I took last weekend in the desert show this same effect. I used a telephoto lens to accentuate the effect. The further away the hills are, the lighter and softer they get.

All the same photo, just edited to create different shades. |
Enjoy the upcoming weekend!
Very beautiful set of photos for SWF!
ReplyDeleteI too like to see the mountains fading away and you've had some fun with these photos.
ReplyDeleteI love the monochrome feel of the first one. Beautiful set.
ReplyDeleteLovely shots of the mountains, I really like the colors in these shots. Happy Skywatching!
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous view! I have tried to capture that soft color of the fading mountains in my oil painting - still struggling with it! These are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThe first one is like abstract art - the second soothes the soul. Beautiful images all. Thank you for sharing them with Photo Art Friday.
ReplyDeleteThese are wonderful, especially the last one. It would make a great piece of wall art
ReplyDeleteBeautiful abstracts, I love those patterns and colours, all the variations are special in different ways :)

ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my blog! I enjoyed looking at your photos, and the neat effects you get with them. I have an inexpensive point-and-shoot camera. I don't feel any need to upgrade because what interests me most is what I do with my photos in Photoshop!

Great shots, I especially like the first one.
ReplyDeleteGreat shots and really interesting!!
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful hills.
ReplyDeleteYour photos are amazing, very difficult to get those layers so clearly!
ReplyDeleteThese are just gorgeous! I can see why these sorts of landscape photos appeal to you, and you're aces at capturing them! I really love the first one - those shades of blue are amazing. But they're all fantastic - love the editing you did, too, to illustrate the variety of shades. Very clever!
ReplyDeleteYes, they do make for lovely shots all those "stacked" hills :-)
