Hello Kath,
A great dramatic picture of the approaching storm. The light looks very ominous indeed. Good point of view looking towards the old tower, to which the eyes are drawn by the palms and the street lights. Very good sharpness.

Wow, Kath! This scene carries so much contrast and potential drama!
People strolling around in fresh, summer clothes and this big, black sky, creeping in like some giant Trollenburg Terror!
You certainly could not resist this!

The curve of the promenade with its associated trees leads in perfectly.
Tis is nicely balanced with the tall mast and tower.

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Hello Kath!
A fantastic new picture taken with the D300. I see you used a 24-120mm lens, I haven´t heard about this one before...but as it seems you get wonderful pictures with it [at least, if it is in the right hands ;-)]. This photo is really beautiful, there´s still some light illuminating the port and as an amazing contrast there are the almost black clouds, great! Very well composed with the trees on the right which give you an excellent feeling of depth and also the ship on the left, I like this a lot. The atmosphere here is just brilliant and I like the colors very much.
Wonderful photo, Kath, I just can repeat that....Well done,
Jonas

The colours on this image are beautifully saturated under this dramatic sky. My compliments for it.
Best wishes,

Hi, Kath -

There is indeed an amazing quality of light that just precedes a thunderstorm. We don't see that much out here in the West (US), but I remember it well from when I grew up in New Jersey. You've captured it very well here.

It is a tight composition, the boat almost pushing the edge, but you did manage to get all the elements in place and in line. I hope you got under cover before the storm broke!

Best,
Dan

Kath,
Superb contrasts here.
I like this dark sky, and how it works with this brighter FG.
Nice catch,
Regards,
JB.

Hello kath
what a dramatic sky very well contrasting with the men with short trousers. the set of tree creates nice perspective. The light on castle walls in background is great too.
Warm regards

Hi Kath,

Marvelous shot of Trogir waterfront. The lighting with the very dark sky and and the sunlight still on the quay and the tower is absolutely perfect. Also very, very good timing since you seldom are in the right place when such lighting appears. I guess that a few minutes the lighting was gone.TFS and have a nice week-end!

Cheers,

Ulf

Hola Kath.
Superb shot of the waterfront of Trogir with the old castle in the back, despite the very cloudy sky you still had good lighting in the harbor. Sunny days are good to get photos but also cloudy days too. Very well captured.
Well done.
Wish you a nice weekend.
Cheers.

Hi Kath. The sunny FG and dark sky gives this shot a surreal atmosphere. Well composed, the palm trees make and excellent and impressive lead-in line. Nice work and thanks for sharing.
Have a good week, Paul.

PaulVDV (15017) 2008-07-13 3:07

Hello Kath,
Wow, here we see an almost black sky and that while everything is still bathing in the sun.
Good clear and sharp picture.
Well done, Paul

Hello Kath,

Beautiful vew to the seafront of Trogir. A composition well balanced with the alignment of trees and a good prospect. I like too the superb colors of the sky.
Best regards,
Roger

An amazing sky with great composition. The dark sky certainly creates a great contrast with the bright tower and sidewalk.

alvaraalto (5473) 2008-07-13 14:16

Hi Kath,

To me this is always one of the most photogenic circumstances. An interesting place lightened by sunshine and a pitch-black sky of a thunderstorm that will change to place totally in a few minute or when you are lucky will pass by without rain.

Hello Kath,

The good point of view is resulting in fine lines!
The drama in the weather situation is well captured, as the sunlit waterfront contrast well with the threatening clouds...
A well balanced composition with super details!

Greetings,

robiuk (10805) 2008-07-15 15:38

Well, not often do I get to see such a contrast between
the light in the FG and the clouds, except here in the UK.
I can almost see the raindrops already falling on my
monitor - so I better hurry up...
LOL!!!
Cheers,
Robi

The sky is fabulous with the contrast of the sun on the buildings ! Happy to discover Trogir here, I don't think that I was there but I have really fond memories of lifely and happy Split (waterfront a bit similar) which I really preferred to too touristy and a bit empty Dubrovnik.
An excellent combination of historical building, nature, people etc as you indicate, great view !
Compliments,
Cath.
(PS : your analysis of my landscape with a truck was very complete and interesting to read, I had not thought of all that, many thanks !)

eska (522) 2008-07-25 7:30

Hi Kath. Nice invitation for a stroll or maybe for exciting, in this weather, boat ride. I like your WS maybe even more. It might be empty in the centre but both pictures are full of "weather" in the upper parts.
Thanks to "this photographer" for black clouds. I agree - hard to resist that kind of light and shadow show.
Greetings from Canada, have a good weekend.
Chris

Trogir waterfront hasn't changed much since I visited a 36 years ago. Excellent shot with this threathening sky. Nice, well saturated colors.

John
