Ain't gonna rain anymore Photo

Photographer’s Note

Ain't gonna rain anymore

Once there came a storm in the form of a girl
It blew to pieces my snug little world
Sometimes I swear I can still hear her howl
Down through the wreckage and the ruins

And it ain't gonna rain anymore
Now my baby's gone
And it ain't gonna rain anymore
Now my baby's gone

Now the storm has passed over me
I'm left to drift on a dead calm sea
And watch her forever through the cracks in the beams
Nailed across the doorways of the bedrooms of my dreams

And it ain't gonna rain anymore
Now my baby's gone
And it ain't gonna rain anymore
Now my baby's gone

Now I got no one to hold
Now I am all alone again
It ain't too hot but it ain't too cold
And there is no sign of rain

And it ain't gonna rain anymore
Now my baby's gone
And it ain't gonna rain anymore
Now my baby's gone
And I'm
Here I'm on my own

She ain't coming back no more
She ain't coming back no more
She ain't coming back no more
Say what you will, I don't care

And it ain't gonna rain anymore
Now my baby's gone, yeah
And it ain't gonna rain anymore
Now my baby has gone

Hi Paolo,
This one is really amazing view.Love the vertical way of capturing this.The colour saturation is great,very soothing to eyes.Bit less in contrast though still its not any big deal.A+ shot.
Greetings from India,

Hi Paolo,
Lovely soft light in this image. The shutter speed has captured the energy in the wave well too
A really nice image

Hello Paolo,
A very evocative seascape. Good composition, with the curving coastline leading the eye to the village, and beautiful muted tones. Very well done.

bantonbuju (48856) 2006-10-27 4:32

ciao paolo,
an interesting work but i think it misses some re-touch: contrast increas, some colour burst etc.
i dared a workshop, hope you like it;
have a good we,

Ciao Paolo,
I see all of last week end did not turn out so brilliantly sunny... at least it gave you the opportunity to shoot this beachscape with a moody autumn atmosphere ! Composition is very centered in the height, but possibly this gives the warm contrasting village some more impact. As for the beach, there's nothing here to match our favorite island ;-)
Buona fine di settimana,
Jean-Yves

barrufeto_77 (25957) 2006-10-27 4:46

Hi Paolo.

Excellent atmosphere and POV with the town on the right-hand side and the sea in the other.

Well done!

Rgs, Oscar

Hello Paolo
Intriguing image. Great mood of this dark photo with foamy water. Lovely perspective with the hardly visible mountains on the horizon.
Have a nice day.

partha (13677) 2006-10-27 5:21

Simple yet strong composition The atmosphere u have captured is brilliant.I like the muted colour tone.
Well visualised shot.

HI PAOLO
i really like the light in your photo, it make a nostalgic mood , it is a sweet and natural photo under low light.
well done
ciao didier

miuky (3335) 2006-10-27 5:47

Nice introduction!
Hy Paolo

Hi Paolo Maldini,
A picture there that i love, everything is good in it : picture itself with a delightfull POV and the serenity we can feel watching it, the composition is excellent too, very smooth and soft, a little bit cold, for sure i won't have a swim here !
Your PP is excellent to conclude
GREAT !

ChrisJ (70521) 2006-10-27 6:18

Bonjourno Paolo

A good decisive moment shot catching the wave at its peak just before it breaks. I like the long sweeping curve of the beach, & subtle yellow vs blue colour contrast. Ciao!

dkeus31 (26503) 2006-10-27 6:25

Hello Paolo,
Nice composition of an overcast landscape.
Good curve introduced by the water.
Didier

vinicio (22502) 2006-10-27 6:43

Bella prospettiva e bel posto Paolo, peccato per il tempo nuvoloso, che comunque ti ha inspirato un bel titolo e una bella nota, complimenti.
Buon fine settimana anche a te e se lo fai buon "ponte".
Ciao
Vinicio

jhm (83786) 2006-10-27 7:11

Hi Paolo,

I like the vertical way of capturing this, the shutter speed has captured the energy in the wave well too, but try once maybe on F16 this better for the totally depth, it's a very well picture, you did very well!. Thanks for sharing.

Have a nice weekend,
John

cessy (13647) 2006-10-27 8:10

Halo Paolo
very beautiful picture
the composition is great, and so is the mood
have a nice week end,
cessy

jrj (34779) 2006-10-27 8:37

hi paolo
With that title and photo you could for sure have fooled me. Good capture of the village perfect situated in the end of the fine sloped beach. Interesting light in the compo with the bluegrey sea and clouds. Good choice with the vertical format

feather (50560) 2006-10-27 9:29

I love the way you composed this using the shoreline to lead us right to the church. The grey dramatic sky makes a good background for the golden colour of the church. Interesting location for a church right on the beach - probably so the priest can order his flock off the beach in time for the service. :)

Hi Paolo,
Italia is a nice country!Very wonderful landscape here,good framing and beautiful colors.A pleasant composition.Well done.

Christian

josepmarin (34269) 2006-10-27 13:15

Ciao Paolo,
una bella composición, con una iluminación muy dramática después de la tormenta, que da unos colores suaves, y nos muestra un ambiente frío y gris.
El paisaje es muy bonito, me gusta mucho la iglesia de color ocre cerrando esta playa, las olas blancas y las montañas al fondo de la imagen.
Es una foto muy bella.
Saludos,
Josep

ndb1958 (9249) 2006-10-27 13:52

What a beauty, Paolo. Amazing colours and and a magical cloudy sky. Great impression from Italy and nice atmosphere, Nino

designsoul (21394) 2006-10-27 13:54

Italy is gorgeous, no matter if there's rain or shine. It simply is the most beautiful part of the world. This shot is a proof, dear Paolo! I like the kind of subdued beauty here. No flashy colours, no unwanted saturations. Beauty seen and shot, in a humble but most amazing way.
Ciao!

Floydian (30970) 2006-10-27 15:09

Hi Paolo,
I like the way you composed this picture, the shoreline is beautiful with the waves that are rolling in. The overcast sky had a perfect greytone and fits perfect with the weather you had that day....good work.
Have a nice weekend, Henk

rosaline (0) 2006-10-27 16:42

Hi Paolo
Still on holiday travelling. I've been away from TE for a month. I see you have been busy since then. Nice works all of them. Good shot this one and nice framing. I like the subdued atmosphere. Should be back in England tomorrow.
Take care.

leo61 (44112) 2006-10-28 2:38

Hi Paolo!
A great shot,verry well composed with the curvy shore as foreground leading the eyes to the nice architecture.Your photo shows verry well,that we do not need allways bright sun and a blue sky.Nice atmosphere with the grey sky.
Regards,Leo

JCG (25875) 2006-10-28 4:08

Hi Paolo,

A splendid landscape and vertical framing to present for us it is perfect. I like very much contrast between the gray sky and the colors of the village. The management of the light is very good. A pretty composition and a superb area of Italy. Thanks Paolo and cheer.

Best regards and good WE,

Jean-Charles

syd1946 (17999) 2006-10-28 8:16

Hi Paolo,

baba_flies (8191) 2006-10-28 9:18

Dear Paolo ... I like the "end of the season" feeling that comes from this photo. People have left and what remains is a certain sadness that summer has passed. But as nature goes, the beaches will be filled again with folks. Really nice atmosphere. Have a lovely Saturday, Barbara.

Fis2 (46713) 2006-10-28 12:38

Cze¶æ Paolo!
Wonderful place, curious architecture. I like the frame and colours. Well done.
Regards and nice sunday.
Krzysztof

pablominto (41690) 2006-10-29 1:38

Hello Paolo,
It is a beautiful composition, with fine dynamic lines!
The strong surf washing the sandy beach is a very attractive lead-in element, taking my eyes to the buildings in mid distance...
Lovely colours, pleasant atmosphere!
Greetings,
Pablo -

faubry (32511) 2006-10-29 3:26

nwoehnl (120) 2006-10-29 10:57

Ciao Paolo. Beautiful mood in this one, and excellent framing with the diagonal of the incoming tide emerging from the lower left corner, and leading the eye straight to the church and village buildings. The heavy cloud cover and the limited amount of colors convey a melancholic feel that is well enhanced by the song lyrics that you picked to accommodate your posting. Nice work.

tabora (13642) 2006-10-29 11:53

Bonjour Paolo,
Une très bonne composition,avec une atmosphère qui se ressent,on sent la force des vagues qui séchouent sur la plage, les couleurs sont extras.
Amitiés Joseph

cunejo200 (7243) 2006-10-29 21:51

Hi Paolo, Looks like a poster photo for a Disney or a pirate movie. Beautiful. Well composed, gorgeous colors. Best wishes. Danilo

Great architecture of the church. The wonderful sky and clouds makes a stunning compositon. Good work.

Bonjourno Paolo

I dont know this song but the words go very well with your image. I like the soft blue and grey tones. Great feeling of drama in this shot.

pasternak (13796) 2006-10-30 9:56

Very nice beach panorama, Paolo, the weather couldn't be more impressive and this seaside village - more lovely and better positioned in the frame, but I wonder whether some play with levels/contrast could have brought more drama here...

Cheers
Alexander

Hi Paolo,
An outstanding composition, with the vertical format providing great depth. I like the exposure level here and how the textured sky enhances the scene. The subtle tones and hues are well appreciated. Congratulations on this capture, Paolo.

Merhaba Paolo, my friend...
It's a perfect scene and wonderful ambience, indeed... The grey-blue tones and their contrast between the houses's yellow are also perfect... Your point of view, the light and the clairty are wonderful too... The lyric is beautiful...
TFS...
Stay well..
Salim.

Emile (20177) 2006-11-07 9:59

Hi Paolo,

I LOVE this song!!!!!! wow...and this picture has exactly its atmosphere....superb!!!!

Take care, Ivana

roconnell (327) 2006-11-20 17:50

The dark skies suggest that it might rain a little more... But the low light brings out the pastel colors of the buildings and creates a great contrasting background. Well done.

Bien (4729) 2006-11-22 10:15

Ciao Paolo, As always you have an impeccable taste in music, absolutely sublime Cave song. The image itself is outstanding too; the dark mood reflected in the song is very present in the image. I can feel and hear the waves rolling in as I watch your shot; beautifully composed in vertical format and excellent colours too. I see you have been posting some of your best works lately and I have missed all the fun! Sabine

daddo (11647) 2006-11-24 19:04

Ciao Paolo. What a strong mood fills this photo.What is it? A mood of dejection, despair, anger or one of defiance, invincibility? I am reacting to your juxtapositioning of your work with Cave's lyrics. Fascinating photo, fascinating song. Both full of bravado, and full of gentleness and hope. Thought provoking and emotive work. Bravo Paolo.Regards. Klaudio.

gmg (1970) 2006-12-20 13:26

Ciao Paolo!
Bella foto, ben composta, bei toni....il fatto è che è molto simile a quella che ho fatto io a Camogli ad agosto! Anche il cielo è lo stesso.......Quindi ovviamente è bellissima...!
Scherzo, ma la foto è bella sul serio
