Arda River Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

This area around Devil's Bridge on Arda River. It is located 10 km (6.2 mi) from the Bulgarian town of Ardino in the Rhodope Mountains. This is HDR photo from 3 frames. The light be a matter of some difficulty to take a normal photo and this is the HDR result.

I hope You like my photo and this view.

Hi Philip,
An extraordinarily deep photo. We sink into this dark forest by going back up on the almost metallic rocks.
Beams of the sun who drill clouds incredible.
I like this kind of photo!
Bravo
Karine

Hi Philip,
A superb composition, with a double 'V'.
The details on the rocks are impressive as well as the management of the light.
The rays of the sun adds a fabulous scene.
Well done!
Regards,
Marianne

That's an amazing light you've managed to capture in this photo. And your HDR is so pleassant, since it is not over exagerated. Well done, an excellent work.

you seem to have captured perfect light and the hdr renders very good results here. my hdrs are not very good, I dont know why. they look either too light or too unnatural. this one is very successful - like a scene from a fantasy movie.

Hi Philip,
pretty good atmospheric POV. We feel like explorer going up the river to discover what is hiden behind the mountains... but we have to go fast, before the storm

Hello Philip:

A stunning scenery, beautiful, not to say that charming.

It is dark, but the reflections of light that are projected from the sky toward the river, determine an excellent composition. Good frame, consistent in the handling right shade of light.

great ! such coulds and such a little miror river ... and the darkness to give some difficulty to have such a beautifful photo!

Silversnow (2095) 2008-08-27 20:35

It is a very nice HDR because it looks pretty much natural, even if a bit low-key.
Good composition and colors too.

This is really nice, Philip, dark and ominous but with "hope" in the distance. A perfect one for HDR. The reflection in the photo is probably brighter and stronger than it would look to the eye, but there's nothing wrong with a little enhancement of reality--it's not excessive. Regards, Ken.

Hello Philip
The compo. is superb, but more than that it's admirable how you showed us the difficult contrasts in this picture. HDR is brilliant. I think you're one of the best in this site for using this technology. As I look into your pictures I learn a lot
