Susana Matos May 29, 2004

THANK YOU a thousand times for your wishes and words. I guess I will keep on beeing late on my comments here in BP until september!!!! I have lots of things to do together with this exposition that will be quite big... but I am happy doing things I like to do!!!

About this photo, as well as those posted these last days, no PS work has been done, only normal one. The sky is the result of a thunderstorm sky and orange and grey cokin degradé filters. (my brother told me he thought this was PS work, but no it isn´t...) With degradé filters we don´t loose details of clouds and we achieve a better balance with light metering.

Again, THANK YOU!!!! INDEED!
Cheers from Ponte de Lima, Su

MERCI Dominique, si jamais vous pensiez venir au Portugal, alors vous avez vous et Silke une invitation spéciale!! Su #565643
