This is another shot from the beauty zanzibar.
I have already told you about the small trip we made during our stand in zanzibar.Maybe you remeber this shot where a typical sailboat from zanzibar can being seen.
This time I show you with that picture another typicall boat from the island.They just called it kathamaran.All of the other doing the trip too were allowed to go with them.
That was a great expirience.It was very stormy that time so it was very fast of course.Sometimes it was very hard for the sailors keep the boat into the water because the storm wanted to push us.
Hope you like this one
Best regards Toba

est-ce vraiment le Paradis? pour les vacanciers le point de vu est certainement différent que celui des marins qui partent pêcher sur ces bateaux par tous les temps et pour lesquels la mer n'est pas un jeux mais un gagne pain...
en attendant certes la couleur de la mer et la bonne ambiance à bord évoquent un lieu idyllique...

Amazing shot, i wonder how the boat survived with the crowd of people riding. I like the contrast of the big white cloth against the brooding sky, you framed it well too.

Olá Tobias,

You have reason, it is a fantastic place.The Tanzânia has a little of everything in beauty, since the savannah to the beach.I like a lot. Beautiful light and colours. Very good job
Well done.
Regards,
Filipe

Hello Toba,
Very impressive to see so many people can get in such a small Kathamaran!
very beautiful colour on the sea water and the powerful sky!
good exposure and focus
well done

Hi Tobias,

I think that this frail ship is in overload here !!! I like much the light in this photograph which creates a beautiful contrast with this gray sky. The subject of your photograph is well emphasized. The color emerald of water is very pleasant. Beautiful photograph Tobias.

With all my friendships and a very good evening,

Jean-Charles

gr. jaap

Hi Tobias,

The ship carries a funny load, otherwise this is a perfect picture. I like the different kinds of blue/green and the positioning of the triangle of the sail. The best of your Zanzibar shots so far, in my humble opinion. Cheers.

Benny

Tobia,
Another wonderful shot of the beautiful truquoise sea of Zanzibar, I'm surprise that it can hold that many people on this sail boat. Techincally, all is great here, good sharpness, good color and light. refreshing image to look at. Thanks toba.

Hi Tobias,
This is a beautiful capture with nice composition. The picture is clear with very good color.Well done.
Georg

Hi Toba,
echt cooles Bild, dein vielleicht bestes aus Sansibar, tolle Farben und super Kompo. Sieht aber ziemlich beladen aus das Boot, wie lange das die Last noch trägt? Also echt schön, noch besserals die letzten Beiden meiner Meinung nach.

Beste Grüße
Mark

Hallo Tobias!
Hier hattest Du wohl den Fokus uf dem Mast und nicht der Besatzung.
Macht nichts,tolles Foto,perfekt für TE.Wunderschöne Blautöne,besonders das Wasser.Ich bin immer wieder fasziniert von der Einfachheit ind Effizeins solchr Boote die wohl seit hunderten von Jahren unverändert gebaut werden.
Gru,Leo

Hallo Toba,
It looks a bit full on this boat, with this close framing we see well the details and the sea color lightened against dark stormy sky works best, you could consider leaving more space ahead of the boat.
Have a nice day JY

Hello, Toba,
beautiful shot! I love the way the sail makes a diagonal through the frame and the colors are fantastic. I really like that contrast in the clear sea water and the stormy looking BG, too. Outstanding shot!! Many thanks and warmest wishes,
Shelly

Tobias,
This is a fine shot of this interesting sailboat. It doesn't look like this boat could carry this many people. Your composition is great showing the boat from an angle that gives the shot depth. The lighting and colors are great with excellent sharpness and detail.
TFS,
Asa

Tobias,

The triangular sail is a real eye-catcher, as it stands out well on the dramatic sky!
Sharp fine details, and the composition uses a fine division of the frame...
I notice the overcrowded boat, hopefully they are not going far as the weather may soon change!

Greetings,
Pablo -

Hallo Tobias,
gratuliere zu dieser archaischen Szene. Könnte auch vor 1000 Jahren sein..
Schöner Bildaufbau.
LG Christian

Hallo Tobias,

das ist ja eine herrliche Bilderserie aus Tanzania, das muss ein Traumurlaub gewesen sein! Ein interessantes Objekt, das urtümliche Boot mit den vielen Leuten, sehr schön auch die Farbtöne des Wassers und des Himmels ... sehr gelungenes Bild!

Tschüss
Günther

hey there, Tobias!

i see, you've been busy here while I was away. a nice collection of new shots and impressions. i love this one. i have to confess: have not seen anything like that before. while i agree with christine that the notion of 'paradise' is a debatable one (knowing the current-day local life situation in Tanzania and Africa in general), but the shot is sure very nice. the sail stands out very well against the stormy sky and the water color is fantastic!

my compliments
kristaps

Hi Tobias,
Excellent choice for your title. I can believe you that paradise should look like this.
It is probably fun to be on this kathamaran, with a lot of wind and going very fast in such a beautiful place.
I am glad you lived this experience and share it with us through your photo and your note.
Regards,
Marianne

Hello Tobias
Looks like paradise, but that boat sure looks cramped. The moody clouds coming in look superb against the turquoise sea. You captured the light perfectly and at the right time. Colours, and composition look perfect, like this shot.
Regards
Jim

Hello Tobias!
Beautiful contrast between the sky and water! Great colours!
Lovely composition with good perspective!
Best regards!
Lili
