another boring sunset Photo

Photographer’s Note

The sky was red and the silent public was amazed by a wonderful spectacle.

The Sun was hidden but we could see the last reflections over the horizont and also reflected on the sky.

Somehow this is so beautiful.

I think Gerardo Alonso was who said the beauty of poetry and art is great, but is even better the beauty of the nature and I think he was right.

Can you recognize the shapes of the windmills from Oia?

Finally let me say: there's something wrong in the photo and it so obvius (it depends of the screen because I can see this problem in my laptop but not here) and I talk about the rocks in the foreground.

I hope you like it.

(maybe I will be a few days off because I will go to Zaragoza, Burgos and Cocolandia)

Hey there Carlos,
I prefer Red myself, however I've created a WK on this picture just an alternative version. I hope you like it.

Nice POV/colour here

The colours are stunning. We don't see many sunsets like this one. The orange stripe amongst the red complements the red so beautifully. The size of the rocks in the foreground is small so don't worry about them. I had to look very hard to notice they are out of focus. If you hadn't mentioned there was something wrong I wouldn't have looked for it. Excellent shot.

Hello carklos,

unblieveable colors, one could think of using an orange filter in this picture...nevertheless this colorful sunset is one of the reasons for the great public-run on santorini-island; greta thake indeed, congratulations and a good journey..

Best regards Bernd

Hola Carlos
Estas loco !
1: las cuestas del sol no son aburridos
2: me dices que tu foto de la fiesta era demasiado rojo ??????
Que color es esto ?
Me gusta mucho tu compuesto con tanto cielo. Las nubes dans una textura preciosa.
Un saludo

Hola Carlos,
mas rojo no se puede ... pero son los layers (como se dice?) y la composción grandiosa con el molino pequeño ... ¡enhorabuena!

Hi Carlos,
Not at all boring but very interesting an marvelous i would say.
Excellent tones of red and perfect idea to include more burning sky to your frame.
TFS,

TopGeo (22249) 2008-07-04 23:15

Hi Carlos! I liked what you wrote for the beauty of nature. I I want to say something similar. The beauty is tour is enough to us we can him discover. Splendid moment, the windmills and the sky in harmonious opposition of beauty

Hello Carlos, I don't think it is boring at all. Excellent vivid red tones and the windmills figures compose a very dynamic shot. Superb work! Thanks for sharing.

Kostas.

Pues si la foto es tan aburrida como tu mismo ya nos dices...para qué ponerla? Hacía falta?

Joder tio, no pierdas el tiempo hombre....

bostankorkulugu (33984) 2008-07-05 23:36

you call it "boring", i call it "stunning" carlos... i ve been to oia but never seen such a thing, lucky you to witness this beauty... i like the vertical compo with a big portion of the sky and the mills only... who cares for the rocks on the foreground, still a great shot...

MiguelP (14336) 2008-07-06 3:21

Creo que sé a qué te refieres con lo de las rocas, y yo creo que si nos las hubieses mencionado no nos habríamos dado ni cuenta. Extraordinarios colores y hermosísimo contraluz. Es una foto que a mi particularmente me produce alegría... Pero ya te digo que atardeceres como esos los hay en más lugares a parte de Grecia ;-)
Miguel

jhm (83378) 2008-07-06 4:38

Hello Carlos,

What a splendid image with the completely pink sky.
Also the mills give a excellent perspective line, and nice contrast with the black silhouettes against the colourfully sky.
Very well done, TFS.

Hava a nice sunday,
John.

Photo65Net (43096) 2008-07-06 10:08

Carlos,
Amazing tones here !
Your compo is great too, with use of the shadowed mills.
Nice job,

josepmarin (34131) 2008-07-06 10:57

Hola Carlos,
acabo de veure totes les fotos que mhas enviat per e-mail (moltes gràcies), i evidentment, aquesta n'és una, precisament l'última que he vist.
Com diria el teu veí, aquesta escena és BRUTAL!
M'agraden molt les postes de sol, el seu dramatisme cromàtic i la seva lluminositat, i aquí has captat el cel que sembla cremar, en contrast amb la bellesa dels molins tradicionals de Santorini.
És una imatge molt i molt maca, felicitats.
Els WS també són bons, algún dia espero ser jo i la meva dona els que estiguem fent fotos a la posta de sol allà.

Una abraçada,
Josep

bantonbuju (48796) 2008-07-07 1:44

come on... if you say that it's yet another boring sunset you must have gone mad...:-)))
i hardly ever visit sunsetting photos but this one is definitely something... it stands out not only for the unique tonality of the sky - it's got a perfect composition which conveys a classical don-kichot scenery...
respect!
best wishes, j.

Hola Carlos!

Impresionte foto y muy original, amigo! El cielo esta en llamas, y tu encuadre y composicion son muy impresionantes y originales (me repito!). Felicidades!

Very nice hyper realistic sunset colors. The bloody sky looks indeed impressive. The very strong saturation fits pretty well here.
Cheers

Hello Carlos,

You may have tranformed in in a way or another: I'll tell you something, I am often in juries of selection commitees in photo competitions. So what do we do when we are confronted with such a picture ? We simply -say " The result is most important, the means are less important. This is why this one takes my points - Friendly yours.
On September 22, I'll be opening an exhibition in Lisbon. at the Jeronimos Monaster. Any chance for you to come with Oscar ?

Friendly yours - Izzet

stelli (2959) 2008-07-09 13:06

Hola Carlos.
Excelente fotografía, los colores del cielo son mas que magníficos y juntos a las siluetas de los molinos hacen una estupenda composición.

maria (2828) 2008-07-17 14:09

Hola Carlos,
Que diferencia de color entre el cielo de tus workshops y el de esta toma!
Me gusta muchisimo la textura que producen las nubes. Excelente composition en vertical para apreciar el sunset en todo su esplendor. Clasica pero myy efectiva.
Magnifica.
Saludos,
Maria
P.S. Pues yo no vi este show cuando estuve alli! :-(

Para nada aburrido . De las mejores fotos de atardeceres en rojo que he visto por aqui

Un saludo , muchos viajes y feliz verano Carlos

Ps: aqui en Berlin el tiempo es una m.....

luiscar (3282) 2008-07-18 14:10

Hola Carlos

Gran fotografía.

Ese tono rojizo en el cielo, es realmente magnifico, no se si has utilizado filtro,PP o nada, en cualquier caso es bello, el formato vertical junto con ese POV bajo de los molinos, hacen el resto.

Buen día.

riclopes (33135) 2008-07-20 1:28

Not boring at all, Carlos. It's a real pleasure to observe all the diferent reds in this marvellous vertical composition. And also nice to see the photographers working in WS. Yes, I can see the rocks you refer, but only because you mentioned them as they are almost unvisible. A magic moment, very well captured.
Un abrazo,
ricardo

MarianneS (14436) 2008-07-24 14:27

Hola Carlos,
Colores estupendos, con los molinos que se destacan perfectamente. En tu composición, dejaste mucho espacio al cielo, y eso me gusta.
Un saludo,

Hola, Coco.
Siempre es un placer devolverte la visita. Como ya sabes, me conecto poco, pero tus fotos siempre me han gustado. Todas tienen algo mágico.
El título de esta foto está claro que es una ironía. Este atardecer no es nada, pero nada, aburrido. Impresionante cielo rojo en llamas. Me gustaría saber como se puede captar algo así. Los molinos de abajo añaden una silueta para destacar del rojo del fondo. Me pregunto si hubieran estado mejor algo más ennegrecidos, pero no creo que la foto variara mucho.
En fin, lo dicho. Un placer ver tus fotos y a ver si algún día de esos que vienes a Zaragoza, te dejas ver tú también.
Saludos,
Clemente

Hi Carlos,
If to you boring means spectacular colours, then maybe I will agree with your title :) Stunning shades of red, orange and yellow in this image...you have really captured something remarkable. The characteristic windmills of Oia remind the viewer that this region is renowned for having the most beautiful sunsets in the world. Thanks for sharing!

nothing boring about this sunset, Carlos! heh, despite being shot in Greece, it reminds me of Don Quijote... maybe the fact that the photographer is Spanish has something to do with that feeling ;)

cheers,
