No One Believes That These Pictures Of The Natural Landscapes Of The Earth Are Real
A Skilled Photographer Whose Work Has People Doubting Its Authenticity Says The Otherworldly Landscapes He Visits Are Partly To Blame For This Situation.
Aytek Cetin has won the 2021 International Landscape Photographer of the Year award for a series of stunning photos taken in Cappadocia, Turkey, a place known for its “fairy chimneys” and hot air balloons.
Chetin says he doesn’t use compositing but uses different photography techniques to get the best results.
He uses focus stacking technique for more clarity in most of his photos. Also, sometimes if he is photographing a mountain in the background that looks much smaller and far away in the photo than the ultrawide lens, he uses the focal composition technique.
For example, Chetin takes the flowers in the foreground at 15mm and the mountain in the background at 30mm, and then combines them in Photoshop. He also exaggerates the scene with light and shadow settings. Of course, apart from these photography techniques, he loves to edit photos and add his artistic perspective to the images.
In order to get the photos that Chetin has in his portfolio, a thorough investigation is carried out. This Turkish photographer checks all available photos of his desired location on the Internet and then uses Google Earth to identify potential photography angles.
