Evensong

(RoW Aug. 21 – 27)

evensongIn this image, I put my lighting and atmosphere skills to the test. I set up the scene with a model from DAZ 3d and placed a forest of evergreens behind it. I had to individually place each clump of grass onto the grass (very time-consuming). I used GR (Global Radiosity: see Kildenree post for definition) which produced the most realistic lighting effect. Although GR enhances the lighting in the scene for the ultimate effect, it also takes quite a while to render. I viewed the final image after 5+ hours of rendering: Evensong.

I didn’t do any postwork on this image except for framing and lettering with Photoshop.
