In october it's the rain season in Maldives (Makunudu island). I don't think that it's a bad moment to take holydays, you can view the spectacular sky, with the clowds cumulus nimbus, and also the temperature it's a little more fresh (25°C, it's enought I think,...). In afternon you can see spectacular sunsets with the clowds and the see that haves greats colours. If you likes blue colour,...Madives it's your countrie.

In this picture there is one big probleme, in the moment to take the picture I have forget to change the ISO, and I have rest with ISO 800, who has a lot of noise, how you can see.

Very Very Beautiful, Javier! Am surprised at noise considering there is enough light. You can anyway, take the same shot two-three times with different settings.

The different layers of various colors blending softly into each other is just amazing! Then the clouds too to top it!

Good morning Javier.
A dreamy photo with very nice colors and very good frame division.
Very good exposure gave very good results.
I think the 800 ASA on one hand gave noise to your picture but on the other hand gave a very nice atmosphere to your composition with nice soft colors.
I made a workshop to take out a little bit the noise.

Kostas

Hi Javier
Excellent this photo with and without noise!
In this picture there is probleme of ISO, leave alone. Thank you and the my friend

Thanks

Hola Javier,
nonetheless the grain I love these clouds posed like a curtain to the horizon. Nice framing too.

Probably a software like Neat Image can arrange easily the grain problem (your image was also cropped? I also have a D70 but I find still affordable grain at 800ISO).
A smile
Luca

El azul es uno de mis favoritos y las Maldivas uno de mis objetivos. Y esta playa tiene muchos azules y está en las MaldivAS, así que me gusta la foto ;)

Tanto ruido (ISO 800 en la D70, que es una cámara maja) en una situación de tanta luz (1/2500), es raro. Pásale NeatImage en PS, ayuda.

Un saludo

Hi
great capture
the scenery is vernice,most of all the colour of the water.
But you can´t see so much of this beatifful colours because it´s not really sharp
but well done

Hola Javier!
Juraría que había criticado esta foto, pero parece que no... Lo cierto es que al ver el atardecer en las Maldivas que has puesto lo he recordado, y aquí estoy para enmendar el error.
Con esta foto y la del atardecer nos traes al paraíso! Me encanta que se vean aquellas personas al fondo, que nos da una idea de cómo es el fondo de la playa. Los colores, envidiables a pesar del ruido, y muy suaves. Y las nubes son casi sólidas, pesadas.
Muy buena foto :-)
Hasta luego!

Hola Xavi,
m'agrada aquesta sensació de vacances, de serenitat i relax, de viure el moment i gaudir-lo que m'inspira aquesta foto.
M'agradaria ficar-me en aquestes aigües.....
La imatge és molt bella, el color turquesa del mar en contrast amb el cel blau i els núvols tenen un gran joc estètic, i la llum i els colors li afegeixen molt atractiu.
Sobre el soroll, t'asseguro que he intentat fer un WS per reduir-lo, amb NeatImage, i no he aconseguit un bon resultat, ja que eliminava el soroll però em difuminava al mateix temps la qualitat de la imatge.
Per tant, la prefereixo així.
Una abraçada, company,
Josep
