This picture might look fake, but it’s not. But what about it does scream “fake!”? To me, there are several things: the almost perfect sinusoidal shape of the waves the way how wavelengths and amplitudes decrease with distance the almost complete lack of other waves except for the one dominant field the way we can look […]
I’m in this weird phase right now: In landscape pictures that I take, I like more than 2/3rds of the total area to be of water. That I like water shouldn’t really come as a surprise to anyone, but this perspective — looking from right above the water level towards the horizon — is new […]
