I’m at a crumbling house in Nuwara Eliya. The paint peels, the lights flicker. A fireplace burns at night. Dust pervades my ENT. In the morning the lights in the volcano are out. You can see the painted blue hills in the distance, terraced tea in the middle, untended gardens in the fore. The scene is framed in a picture window. My eye sees both the crumble and the clime. The camera can only expose one, the interior scene is obscured into black. This is not the way it is. It’s just the frame.

This looks like a job for HDR Photography!
I love the photo as it is now, but if you really wanted equal lighting, you could have jus pop the flash up to fill light in to the foreground. I wouldn’t suggest HDR when there are humans subjects involved.. ;)
Volcano in Nuwara Eliya?? Am I missing something here?
Well, best photos cover only part of the scene. Rest is better left imagined.
That is quite a skiny girl Indi ;-) Still i congratulate you on your latest model :-)
oh please the picture is fine, it doesnt need any hdr nonsense.
I think it’s best as is. HDR can get complicated with human subjects unless you shoot RAW.
Who da babe?
I wasn’t serious about the HDR, the picture is fine. Was merely addressing the lament about not seeing what’s in the shadows…
who is the chick ? This explains why you are not emo anymore.
