Monumental

Just to show that I do sometimes persevere and follow up on my ideas, I finally took the shot of the Lo(o)s Monument I talked about in June.

I underexposed generously in order to get a proper silhouette and not to wash out the sky. I also only let the edge of the sun to show up behind the monument, this to make sure that I would get a nice star effect without flares all over the place. And would you believe, it eliminated all the flare – I never thought it would be possible! The other images where I had let in a bit more light and sun had varying degrees of flare.That’s one more subject I can check off from my Los subject list (for the loosfoto.se project). Nice.

In case you’re wondering why I’m spelling Los and Loos (and Lo(o)s), it’s because both spelling variants exist. The official spelling is with one o, but the local folks prefer two. I would also rather use two o’s, but it gets a bit confusing if you have any background in the English language. Fancy living in Toilets?
