Dusk on Gjende, Norway - a photo on Flickriver

            Gjende is a long lake in the Jotunheimen moutains, Norway. This picture was taken at Memurubu, a hut at the middle of the lake. The sun had just set behind me. As it was a windy day, there were many waves on the lake, so I took a long exposure (20s) to average them out and get a more flat and textured surface.

Actually, I do not have a neutral density filter, so I could not close enough to use a 20s exposure time. So I took 20 photos in a time lapse and used scikit-image to average them together. This process gave me the nice texture in the sea.

I did additional post-processing in darktable: I did a slight amount of color correction, making the highlight in the center more yellow. I increased the contrast (with a local enhancement filter) in the center and on the rock in the foreground. I tuned a bit a tone curve on the rocks to have more sharp highlights there. And finally, I used a series of "liquify" filters to create motion blur in the clouds. As liquify filters apply a warp but do not create a blur, I piled a stack of 5 of them with different amount of warps and adjusted there opacity to blend everything together. I wanted the motion blur to create lines that directed to the center of the image, enhancing the effects of the horizon line.
