The last series of photos from the early spring trip to Crete.
En route both directions, we flew over some spectacular mountain ranges and islands with truly incredible light both times.
Shooting through a double skinned aeroplane window is not ideal, especially as you also can get some very strange polarised light effects. A very good polarising filter is essential to having control in this type of photography.
However, in a few shots, particularly with multiple-angled reflections from seas and lakes I played with the using the colour cast this generates creatively…
It’s hard to tell where the true colours begin and end - the natural sunlight was spectacular though, don’t assume this is all photoshop trickery by any degree! The colours of mountain and sea are hugely variable and always feel unreal once you pull them out of a RAW image.
Finally I toyed a little with some two tone samples of the starkest mountain-scapes. Always fun, and of interest to me ever since I saw a gallery of 9'x6' two tone photographs in the most unreal colours..
