Photographer’s Note

Madurai - Kanniyampatti

Fiftheen minutes earlier then previous view here, the sun came piercing through the clouds for a moment before hiding itself again.

With another lens and more shots at differant exposures I could also reduce by HDR-technique the high contrasts in the sky.

The farmer was still in the middle of the field looking after his cow, it became time for milking her.

Enjoy the vast view you have on the countryside at Kanniyampatti.

Hello Henk,

This is amazing...!!! Beautiful shot with the sun rays coming out of the clouds and getting dispersed in the most ecstatic way..!!

I really would like to know more about the HDR technique from you..

The light creates a special atmosphere in this shot: I love the way you captured the sun rays comin in through the clouds. The composition with the peasant next to the bush together with his cow is well realized.
Very well done indeed. Thanks for sharing

Hi Henk,

What a shot! Magnificent! You have made my day. The rays falling down almost seem physical.

Great colours and contrast.

Hi Henk!
Yep, this is what an HDR is ideal for, thanks for another example. I had a talk with a friend the other day, he summarized it like that: "Hdrs are for landscapes and interiors, IMHO", Well, I guess we could agree with that.
