I am an amateur photographer that started to shoot in 2004.
For my work I use Olympus digital cameras (E-1 and E-500) with the Zuiko lenses (14-54mm and 50-200mm) and Sigma lenses (105mm Macro).

  12. planet lover Says:

    It is strange to see the stark contrast between the stillness of the road and the dizzying speed suggested by the clouds…

  13. Janell Says:

    This is an awsome photo. Great job.

  14. Renee Renee Says:

    Well for a amateur you sure did take a great photo! Very stunning, where was this taken?

  15. Marie Dunphy Harding Says:

    Road to nowhere or Highway to heaven,
    either way, it looks thrilling!

  16. Kirk Jordan Says:

    Given that the road is sharp, it doesn’t look like the photographer moved. He could have used a very VERY long exposure, and that would be quite a capture. My guess: two exposures, or selective photoshop treatment to the cloud area of the picture. (He might have even zoomed the sky in camera.) Anyway he did it, it really is a striking image and is a great contrast between solid and “fluid.”

    Fabulous image! I would not call you an amateur at all. This photo is full of life and has a distinct moodiness that I like. It’s a wonderful piece of work, Pedro.
