Salt Laguna, a photo from Medenine, South

Photographer's Note

Salt laguna near Medenine

Picture taken from a bus driving with about 70km/h and on the highway and taken through a dirty window with a focus of 200mm. A nightmare for taking pictures. Using 1/800sec, but doesn't help - the foreground is not sharp.

Hallo Achim,
This capture from the bus in motion has remained perfect, with a great quality of image.
I like the graphical effect of the horizontal striping created by the landscape in this balanced well framing.
Good work with the light and with the colors.
Best regards,
Josep

Hello Achim.
J'aime beaucoup les couleurs et la simplicité de la composition.
Pour une photo prise d'un bus en marche c'est une belle réalisation et l'attelage accroche bien le regard.
Best wishes !
Jacques

Hi Achim,

Wow what a wonderful shot. Almost like a mirage. At least what you image that a mirage looks like. The loney donkey cart looks fantastic and the blur is perfect. TFS and have a nice weekend!

Cheers,

Ulf

Hello Achim,
I think that the person and the donkey cart make this nature picture to an excellent photo.
Best regards, Paul

Hi Achim,

beautiful image. The necessary and perfect add-on is the "animal-truck" that gives an impressive scale.

Well done!

Hi Achim

The donkey and cart make a fine focal point & still attract attention, despite their small size. Thet are also well placed in the frame on the 1/3 axis. A desolate looking scene that resembles a beach. Tfs!

Well, I love the result with the unsharp FG, giving some dynamic effect. What matters is the subject perfectly placed in the BG and the beautiful landscape. Superb result considering the dificult photographic conditions described.
best wishes,

Hi Achim,

Conditions of difficult catch of sight seems it… But finally a good photograph, I like this different variety of landscape and the effect of movement of the foreground. The man and his cart arise well on this great space. Interesting glance, thank you Achim.

With all my friendships and a very good evening,

Jean-Charles

Achim, the thumbnail looked very promising, but then seeing the image at its original size with all the blurr in the front I thought that you missed a great opportunity to stop the car and do the shot how it should have been done. OK, only after that I read your note and I fully understood your limitations. At the end I have to say that you got the best out of the adverse situation.

Hi Achim

That man with the "car" is the key in the picture.

Great colours too!
