Atmosphere
by Ronald Bunnik
I watched this scene from my couch after work and wanted to do the close up as you see it all now. I liked the glass and the corks almost hiding behind each other, the warm light is from the 5′o clock afternoon sun. I picked my Leica Digilux 2 for this shot because it will go to a 90mm focal length needed to give some bokeh to the scene. I dialed the exposure in by hand to give a bit of overexposure. My DP1 would give the same pixelcount or resolution but i would not be able to get close enough to give me the picture as i saw it in my head.
This type of photography is for me all about fun, watching the surroundings around you, envision a picture and take it with a tool that matches the job. I hope you enjoy watching it. A slight vignette was added in Lightroom, I do want to use as little processing as needed and want to avoid even that small step in the future. It is to easy to give the photo a totally different look with all the software tools available today, in my opinion it should not be needed?
