my 200th from Myanmar Photo

Photographer’s Note

My 200th from Myanmar shows a temple about 500 meters south of Nyaung Shwe,the main village at Inle lake.
It was about 6:30 am and very foggy but suddenly the sun appeared for a few minutes.
Strong backlight,not easy to manage and I tried different camera settings.
This one is taken with a sunsetfilter.

Guten Abend, Andreas!
Dieses "goldene" Licht passt wunderbar zu diesem Anblick, zu diesen Tempeln. Eine wirklich feierliche Stimmung liegt über dem Ganzen und die Spiegelung verstärkt diesen Eindruck noch. Wieder ein sehr eindrucksvolles Foto, das einen gefangen nimmt ...
Grüße aus dem sehr gewittrigen Berlin!

Andreas: the spooky feel of your filter gives this one something of a Kipling story. Congrats here - on both volume and quality. Too bad TE has become an unrestrained advertising portal. best, c

Sistercosmo (2787) 2009-05-31 12:33

Lieber Leo!
Krass, was du mit diesem Sunset Filter eingefangen hast! Es sieht zwar unecht aus, aber auch sehr schön und richtig mystisch. Da sieht man wieder, wie es immer auf die Perspektive bzw. Brille ankommt. Wunderbares Bild!
Viele Grüße und genieße die Feiertage!
Linda

Hallo Andreas,

Die Lichter sind eigentlich ganz wunderbar! Du hast mit der Sunsetfilter sicherlich viel Talent. Die Farbe und auch die Widerspiegelung (ist das das richtige Wort auf Detusch für reflection?!) sind auch sehr eindrucksvoll.

Grüße,
Jordan

PixelTerror (87159) 2009-05-31 12:58

Hallo Andreas,
With the filter effect it looks like the last apocalyptic dream of Kim Jong Il... But it is with no doubt spectacular, a view from another planet !
Have a nice day JY

PaulVDV (5449) 2009-05-31 13:12

Hello Leo,
Wonderful picture and congratulations with your 200th post of a splendid view on something fascinating in wonderful Myanmar !
I like the composition very much. Also the reflections, the plants in the water on the foreground and the red clouds in the yellow sky, specially in the upper left corner.
Best regards, Paul

Jeppo (12236) 2009-05-31 15:47

Oh Mann,

der Filter hat entscheidend dazu beigetragen, dass die Farbe noch waermer und charmer wurden.
Die Spiegelung der Stupas im Wasser ist ein Detail, das die Komposition "kompletter" macht

Danke auch fuer die kleine Vorlesung betreffend den Kameraeinstellungen...die werde ich bestimmt merken...irgendwann koennte so was nuetzlich sein

ciao
silvio

bukitgolfb301 (5136) 2009-05-31 16:17

L'endroit est magnifique et ta composition excellente mais ce qui retient bien évidemment l'attention ici ce sont les fantastiques couleurs du soleil levant.
Amicalement

aadilj (17950) 2009-05-31 22:14

This is one of those scenes Andreas which you have in the mind after waking up from a dream! I love the burning hues and the abstract ambience. Great work indeed.

gary91 (15321) 2009-05-31 22:17

Hello Leo,
Magnificent image for this nice celebration which is very representative of the beauty of this country.
The sunset filter which I am usually not fond of is here perfectly adapted.
The clouds in the sky and the nice reflection are forming a wonderful atmosphere.
Congratulations for this great work and let us have of word, for the occasion, hoping that this beautiful country will finally obtain the peace and happiness it deserves.
Have a nice day.
Best regards, Christian

dareco (17104) 2009-05-31 22:29

Hallo Leo,
Nice original color treatmment. The composition and the reflections are working really well.
Schöne Grüsse

everlasting (10942) 2009-05-31 23:21

so 200 from from Myanmar, quite something. What an excellent image to choose for the occasion. I never use filters and am completely ignorant about their uses and values, but i imagine its the fliter here thats transforms this into what i can only call an image from an old history book from the Raj or colonial times. Super!

Floydian (30970) 2009-06-01 1:36

Hallo Andreas,

Normally i'm not that fond of that filter, but have to admit it works in this one very good. It gives that mood that we would like to see here and because the whole image looks soft and smooth it was a nice option to use to filter and see how it works....and it did.
F2.8 is a strange number here, but on this small size it's not that visible. Like your square framing and the way how you placed the pagodas inside the composition.

Take care,

Henk

npecanhuk (15142) 2009-06-01 10:47

Hello Leo!
200 only from Myanmar!!! Wow!!! Congratulations!
That's a very special picture indeed! I've already seen this place in other pictures here at TE (maybe some of them taken by you) and it's always a good pleasure to see it again, mainly when the quality is excellent just like in this case! The color has set fire all over the image and the silhouettes and details of all the elements smartly and beautifully composing this picture have truly created something very attractive to be seen and enjoyed!
TFS - My warmest regards,
Neyvan

Hi Leo
I see the quality from you is still outstanding, I am glad to look at your captures once again. Sublime colours, strong and saturated perfectly, love them blaze of clouds in the top left, and finally the reflection. It's a beauty from yourself.
Well done
Jim

patdeph (18590) 2009-06-02 8:19

hello Andreas
the colours given by the filter gice a mysterious and magical atmosphere,and the pagodas semm to go outside a fairy-tale!I like how you have framed,with a large piece of water on the background,that lates a good place for the reflection and the vegetation framing it!Wonderful!

Pascale

I missed a whole lot of great shots from you again...this one standing out a little over the rest! The colours are amazing and the reflections are super and then I haven't mentioned the view yet. It must be amazing to stand there and take in all this! Great work!

Angshu (34219) 2009-06-10 8:58

Hi Leo
It felt strange when I first saw this picture. You mean you have this filter in your camera? The place is fairytale-ish anyway & the filter heightens the feeling. Another fantastic shot from Myanmar, in fact almost all your shots from there has been of very high quality

Angshu

certes ce soleil orange sur temple et son reflet pourrait sembler "classique" mais la tienne a quelque chose de magique, le moment sans doute, et la lumière incroyable.
