purple hour, a photo from Dodekanisos, South Aegean

Photographer's Note

Purple hour in the harbour of Ayia Marina. A feeiling of peace permeated everything and everyone. People seemed to even speak softly during this hour.

Thank you for visiting

Hello Ourania,
A pleasant peaceful atmosphere here, almost romantic one might say. The exposure is well managed with reasonable detail in the shadow areas. Lovely evening tones and agreeable reflections. A very agreeable image.

Hi Ourania
I do like the moored boat as good foreground interest leading us into the image with the backdrop that you have managed a nice composition and excellent point of focus. Really awesome, that shiny ripples effect on the water is breathtaking contrasting with the calmness of the atmosphere and the overall purple hues gives it a romantic feel indeed. There's some exquisite works here with the gorgeous colours, exposure and wonderful detail. Anyway, looks like you had a more productive evening there and tranquility personified. Excellent shot! Congrats.
Kind regards

Hello, Ourania!

Wonderful colors of the end of the day, especially of the sky and its reflection on the water! Beautiful composition with the boat in the foreground! Very good job!

holmertz (26906) 2012-10-17 9:04

Hello Ourania,
There is a magic atmosphere in this picture. The purple sky and its reflexions, the few lights turned on in the town, the dark boat in the foreground all contribute to the magic. Considering that the evening was probably still quite warm it must have been an enjoyable moment.
Well done.
Kind regards,
Gert

Ourania

You have managed the light and exposure in this shot very well. I love the way the lights are glowing and casting yellow lines in the water on the far shore - like brush strokes in an oil painting. A nicely balanced composition too and the overall purple tone is very relaxing.

Thank you for your comment today - it gave me a lift - sometimes a little positive encouragement goes a long way.

TFS

Mike

Γεια σου Ourania αγαπητός
Ηλιοβασίλεμα αισθητικά ευχάριστο και αλιευτικά σκάφη. Τα αντικείμενα αγκυρώσεως μείνει στην επιφάνεια του νερού είναι καλή. Ηλιακό φως να πέφτει στην επιφάνεια του νερού, μια μουσική αρμονία. Υπάρχουν επίσης αγαπητός φίλος μου.
Ευχαριστούμε για την εγγραφή αυτή την όμορφη εικόνα.

Regards, Ali

Hello Ourania,

This is a very nice moment the purple hour in the harbour of Ayia Marina.
We get nice reflections on the water and good enlightenment on the buildings.
Sharpness and clarity be superb.
Excellent composition and nice presentation.
Very well done, TFS.

Have a nice day,
John.

Ciao cara Ourania

Che bella ora viola. Come dici tu, cé un vero senso di pace e tranquillitá qui, e come guardo la foto, sento il mio pressione abbassare. I toni sono spettacolare. In Photoshop, ho provato un Workshop dove nel Layers, ho incremento il contrasto selettivemente delle barche e le case nel sfondo. Spero a te piace.

Un abbraccio
Lisa

La mia nota di qualche giorno fa.
Stessi luoghi e diverse emozioni.
Le luci, il momento,l'atmosfera.

Didi (48896) 2012-10-18 10:06

Bonjour Ourania
Je note une bonne gestion des lumières.
Bien sûr il est possible de modifier les tons de couleurs à sa guise en fonction de ce que l'on cherche.
Tu as choisi l'heure pourpre.
Si tu avais patienté quelques minutes tu aurais pu obtenir l'heure bleue.
Amitiés

Ουρανία γεια σου,
πολύ όμορφη και ρομαντική η ατμόσφαιρα που μας παρουσιάζεις με την βάρκα στο προσκήνιο να συμπληρώνει το σκηνικό.Η πορφυρή επιφάνεια της θάλασσας και η γαλήνη που είναι απλωμένη στο λιμάνι της Αγίας Μαρίνας είναι μοναδική.

Καλό βράδυ,Δάνος

Ciao carissima Ourania,
C'è un'isola dell'arcipelago delle Eolie, si chiama Alicudi, che mi ha fatto vivere emozioni indimenticabili, e che la tua foto mi rinnova in modo prepotente.
Quante volte ho vissuto questi silenzi, quest'atmosfera di pace e rilassatezza, questi colori sublimi... Grazie per questo post meraviglioso.
Un forte abbraccio dal tuo fan!
Giorgio

Hi dear Ourania

Another great magical color world image! A delicate presentation for the color gradation is marvelous and admirable. Clear and sharp image as usual even though a severe condition. Thanks for your sharing with nice work and have a good day!

Ciao Ourania,c'e' un'atmosfera davvero magica in questa foto,molto dark e molto calda allo stesso tempo,con la perfetta esposizione per cogliere al meglio i colori del momento e le prime luci delle case,grandi dettagli e riflessi!! Buon weekend e complimenti,Luciano

Καλησπέρα Ουρανία,
Ο φωτισμός είναι υπέροχος και γαλήνιος. Οι ροζ τόνοι δημιουργούν ένα γαλήνιο τοπίο λίγο πριν το σκοτάδι και όλο το νησί λειτουργεί με τους χαλαρούς ρυθμούς του απογεύματος. Πολύ όμορφη σύνθεση.
Καλό μεσημέρι και καλό Σ/Κ,
Μαρία

Hola Ourania

Beautiful purple hour that in a way also becomes a romantic one
But also a quiet one where people seat silently to admire the reflections and rest at the end of the day
You managed the light in a good way to let admire the ship silhouette at the left and the white houses at the BG

Great and lovely work
Congrats and all the best in the incoming week
Maria
