Tejo Internacional, Portugal
I take advantage of grey springdays like this one, in the
morning, to photograph subjects that would become especially complicated under
bright sunlight. The Black Stork, with its strongly contrasting black and white
plumage, is particularly hard to illustrate. In the sun, the contrast raises to
a point that shadows can be easily underexposed or highlights
overexposed. But this cloudy day reveals green or violet tones, depending
from the light’s angle of incidence, and that was I tried to show here.
