Road to Nowhere Photo

Photographer’s Note

Well we know where were goin
But we dont know where weve been
And we know what were knowin
But we cant say what weve seen
And were not little children
And we know what we want
And the future is certain
Give us time to work it out

Were on a road to nowhere
Come on inside
Takin that ride to nowhere
Well take that ride

Im feelin okay this mornin
And you know,
Were on the road to paradise
Here we go, here we go

Maybe you wonder where you are
I dont care
Here is where time is on our side
Take you there...take you there

Were on a road to nowhere
Were on a road to nowhere
Were on a road to nowhere

Theres a city in my mind
Come along and take that ride
And its all right, baby, its all right

And its very far away
But its growing day by day
And its all right, baby, its all right

They can tell you what to do
But theyll make a fool of you
And its all right, baby, its all right

Were on a road to nowhere

Ciao Paolo, la tua foto di oggi è davvero molto bella..Mi piace dove hai posizionato e inquadrato i soggetti..Un bel contrasto per questa foto a 2 colori tra il mare blu e i gabbiani chiari..

Bravo!

Bonjour Paolo
Bien saisies les mouettes sur le bleu profond de la mer. Il faut vite appuyer avant qu'elles ne sortent du champ de vision.
Merci pour le partage et bonne journée.

Hi Paolo.

Nice composition. Clever. It's great how you showed us the sense of flying and the long trip I'm sure they will do just taking them on the right-hand side.

A nice idea!

Rgs, OScar

What a beauty, Paolo, and the Talking heads song (one of my favourites from them) fits nicely. Whites are a bit overexposed though. Funny, I have just seen 5 swans flying in the sky from my office window, it's a pity I didn't have a camera with me...

Cheers
Alexander

Very vivid colours. The blue of the sea makes great contrast with the white of the birds. Congratulations

Hi Paolo,

Two old and one young seagull care for a lovely contrast against the dark blue water, you placing these birds on a excellent place above in corner, nice composition too.
Thanks for sharing.

Have a nice week,
John

luisafonso (858) 2006-09-18 13:33

Very beautiful Paolo! The white seaguls against that deep blue sea (that looks a sky) is great! And the fact that it is a trio even makes this greater. The composition is wonderful! Simple, but really efective. Thanks

jinju (14265) 2006-09-18 19:37

Hi paolo,

today we are both on birds. Ofcourse as usual for you, beautiful colors abound. Very nice quality, obviously not a scan as theres no quality loss at all.

atus (15476) 2006-09-19 6:56

Ciao Paolo,
bellissima foto di ottima fattura con buonissimo timing. I gabbiani sono piazzati sapientemente nell'angolo superiore del frame e grazie all'ottimo pdv hai regalato a loro uno sfondo bellissimo e di eccezzionale contrasto. Molto bello, complimenti!

Hi Paolo,
A great shot with a great composition having the birds just on the side. I like the contrast between the white of the birds and the dark blue of the water. Well captured.
Regards
Wanda

Angshu (34093) 2006-09-20 6:11

Ciao Paolo
I am choosing this one from your mightily impressive gallery simply because I also managed to post a bird picture today :-)The idea of your framing is great with the emptiness in front of the birds epitomising Nowhere & of course the TH song is so apt here. Love the rich colours & the shades (especially on the last bird)..would nitpick on the slight OE on the white gulls. But even though this's a scanned one, the quality is pristine
Regards
Angshu

Hola Paolo,
me gusta esta sencilla composicvión que consigues sólo con las gaviotas en vuelo que se destacan sobre un fondo del azul del mar realmente espléndido. Los colores y la luz son buenos.
Bien captada la escena, es una buena foto.
Un saludo,
Josep

pablominto (41340) 2006-09-25 5:28

Hello Paolo,
This is a very eye-catching image, and hard to avoid when visiting your gallery!!
This is the kind of composition I really appreciate, where simplicity is the key word...
Wonderful dynamic composition, great colours and details!
The image speaks...
Greetings,

PixelTerror (86837) 2006-09-25 9:41

Ciao Paolo,
The minimalist framing together with the off centered trio works well here and makes the impact of this photo, the contrasts of the two first ones against the deep blue is strong but I find their whites a bit hot as they appear on my screen. Not so bad, the framing itself carries enough interest !

sebcz (2345) 2006-09-27 4:48

Unusual photo, I must say. The composition made me think - "Would I get such an idea?" Thank you for inspiration, Paolo.
Cheers,
Seb

Luan (15935) 2006-09-29 4:00

Freedom, no limits, perfect execution, the great blue. A very nice picture Paolo, I like the mood here.
See you
Luan

superpau (1460) 2006-10-02 18:10

Hola Paolo
the deep blue color is from out of this world
and those birds are just in the right spot...
Congratulations!

Saludos, Paula.

Very nice composition. A very minimalistic shot, having the seagulls in that upper corner. Almost a desktop. Or if you would soften it a lot, including the colours, it would make a nice template for an envelope orso. I just wished the exposure/focus on the seagulls was a bit better. Good colours. Nice light. Well timed.
