Debris no 7, by Peder Winge

Peder Winge, or 'pewidane' on the DPNow forum and gallery, is one of the busiest photpgraphers we have. Retired from working on the Danish railways, Peder seems to spend most of his time producing very impressive photos. The one we feature in today's POTD is actually similar to another that was accepted into our Golden Gallery a few weeks ago. You can find it here. Today's picture has been selectively coloured, producing a very different ambience to the same visual material featured in the Golden Gallery image. In fact there has been quite a debate about Peder's images on the forum.

Peder says: "The picture began with a pile of waste in Nykøbing Falster port. I though the various forms were very interesting and took about 30 pictures from different angles with my Panasonic DMC-FZ 28. I find great pleasure to work with Photoshop Elements 6. It is a small program but it is good enough for me. It is difficult long after saying how i made the picture,but i used: Render, ighting effect, Omni light. Regarding light, I do as painters do when they have to make a brighter color they do the sorroundings darker, it gives an illusion of brightness."

That's a great tip, from Peder.

You can see more of Peder's work in his DPNow gallery - and it's well worth a look.

The DPNow Golden Gallery

Our ultimate accolade, the DPNow Golden Gallery, is reserved for what we feel are the very finest images. We invite anyone to submit their pictures for inclusion in the Golden Gallery. Why not have a look at the Golden Gallery submission form? The vast majority are politely rejected, which is why we feel that the ones we do feature are extra special.
