After two weeks rendering on two machines, "Boreal" is finally finished.
Hope it can be seen now that the camera is near a cliff with a distant hill
covered with (hardly detectable) trees.
It has been rendered in 2048*1152 pixels and scaled down via photoshop.
Peak memory was about 1.1 GB.
I skipped a plane and now the only little red spot in the image is on a
woodpecker, which can be hardly seen at all.
Hope you like it.

I certainly do like it - a beautiful image.
I hope you find the time to do one or more images for the povcomp contest
too. I am a fan of your art!

Yes I sense the cliff there. In fact I thought in some detail about how
the scene implied a cliff or serious drop off before I'd read your text.
There is something you bring to these nature scenes that I can't yet put
into words. It has to do with... the feeling like I might have actually
experienced that place.

Very detailed and realistic!
Something about it seems slightly off to me; maybe the plants are too green
or the fog is too blue, I don't know. But it does look very realistic.

How many hours do you think you've spent in front of the computer on just

Definitely a great image!
Looks like where I was 10 days ago.
The only thing I'm not a fan of is the wide camera angle which
makes the trees appear bended. It's something serious photographers
always try to avoid...

Yes, hopefully in the next future on the web. But this doesn't only depend
on me. If you want, I can send it to you directly.

Thank you very much. Its always strange for me (but pleasant) that some
creations from me can be seen as art.
And yes, I'll contribute to Povcomp. The first prizes are too exciting to be
ignored.
In two weeks I'll have holidays and because of family issues I and my wife
will stay at home.
So up to now I have at least five ideas and hopefully one will be finished.

Excellent, Norbert. Most beautiful. I was stood on a rock
recently, about 5 times the size of yours in your image, and looking
directly skywards at the tops of 100ft tall (guessed) pines in North
Wales... It was a hot day, and hardly any wind, except for at the top
of those tall pines... You should have seen them swaying. A sight to
see.

You are right, but this was intended.
In fact, a forest is much darker at this lighting
(look at http://photography.cicada.com/gallery/brain/graphics/talltrees.jpg
for a real forest).
My only excuse - Povray forced me to make compromises...

Funny, but it's similar for me.
Sometimes when I'm getting philosophical, I'm imagining some hard-wired
instinct related memories as a relict from former times, maybe in the old
brain stem.
But since I'm not a biologist....

Thank you for your kind comment.
When I see a nice picture at the net, I save it immediately. When it is
attractive enough, I search via Google similar images. After that, I have
hundreds of images on certain topics in a specific folder. Afterwards I
chose the three to ten nicest ones from them and copy them to a folder for
their own. The next step is to decide, which image can be created with my
skill levels, test files etc.
This stage gate process needs much time, but at least I've a clear target
then.
Perhaps this is the cause for the impression of realism you see.

In boreal forests it can become quiet cold and lonely at some times; At
least in my impression since I was never in such regions.

I don't count the hours and whwn work at Boreal began, I owned three
computers. Normally all or at least two of them are rendering all the time
(the motherboard of the third one died after 3 years of continous poving).
In November I spent one week, in April two weeks and the same amount in
July/August. I'm really slow....

I can understand your point.
Perhaps it's a personal thing, but I like the ultra_wide_angle camera.
I think it's more natural than the usual Povray camera.
By the way, where were you whn you saw such a point?

nice picture, for me, a sense of a steepish valley beyond, not a cliff
though
i know ferns are fractals, but some variation in the
'fronds' ?? near the rocks, maybe yellowing, some tanned, last years maybe
now real problem, where's the woodpecker ?
