Blog on Photoblogs

Well, I am finally getting back into the groove of things after a couple of very busy weeks, and I can’t think of a better way to kick things off with a profile of the amazing photographic work of Austin Mann. When I came across Austin’s work for the first time, I knew that I needed to profile him on the site. I am sure that you’ll find the insight Austin provides extremely helpful.

This weeks image is from Austin Mann, I found Austin’s work last week and knew that I needed to profile him on Blog on Photoblogs.

So why did I decide on this image?

• The wide open space in this image really pulls me into the photograph.  I found myself lingering for quite sometime seeing if there was something else to be found in the grass, I love when an image grabs my attention like this one.
• The brightest area of this image is the mountain range, and that really drew me deep into the image.  After scanning the grass, I didn’t lose interest at all - the light mountain range really helped.
• The dark edges of this image kept me looking…if it was on a gallery wall, I would stay here for longer than normal.
• Finally, I am not sure about how much post-processing Austin did on this image, but the colours pop, and the contrast between sky, land and mountain range is great!
