The last sunset Photo

Photographer’s Note

Hello in the New Year :)
This was my last and one of the sporadic trip last year on the Slupia river. At last I forced myself to go out of the house and catch this last view of the Sun in the passing year.
I dedicate it to all friend I`ll no more meet, with hope they can admire many beautiful views...
Happy New Year

Hi Henryk,

Lovely New Year's wish mate...

Strong feeling of cold in this image for me. The minimal color palette, the thin layer of frost, the ground fog, everything imparts a feeling that makes me want to go and get a fire going in the fireplace. What is the small red thing at the lower right third? It doesn't quite look like a sensor hot spot but I can't tell really.

Happy New Year!

Good morning Henryk!
A truly wonderful view - and a very atmospheric one. The only few colours give a very special impression - one nearly can feel cold here. I like this one very much!
Greetings from cold but grey Germany - and a Happy New Year to you and your family!

riclopes (32845) 2009-01-01 2:35

Hope it doesn't mean you don't come here anymore... ;-)
How nice to see you again, Henryk. The sun doesn't stop you from daring to shot directly into its heart without burning all this view. It's a fresh one, but it's already from last year :))) The frost tells me it's too cold to be outside but I'm glad you did it. Nice landing strip for ducks.
Happy 2009!

Hi Henryk,
The last sunset of year 2008 is sure a historic event, but also, as your picture shows, rather beautiful one. I like the delicate sun light above the frozen winter scenery. Very well done!
With my best regards and New Year's greetings,
Sergiy

feather (49848) 2009-01-01 7:34

You master the light so well on these early frosty mornings. I particularly like the sheen on the iced ground and the frost on the leaves. I hope your note doesn't mean you will no more be on TE!
Take care and Happy New Year to you and your family.
Kath

A beautiful view of this winter landscape. The atmosphere is lovely here with this light, frost and ice. Great capture of the last sunset of 2008, thanks for sharing!

Hi Henryk,
I like the soul touching note very much with your kind dedication that accompanies a wonderful ice cold impression of the Polish winter. The atmosphere of the sunset at the river is amazing. Most of all I like your perfect management of the light!
With my best wishes for a wonderful year 2009!

Happy New Year Henryk,
There is a great atmosphere with this image as the frost lays across the ground and the sun is setting. A definate winter scene that brings hope into the New Year for much better weather and all things good.
Happy New Year,
Steve

Witaj Henryku,
Bardzo ladny zeszloroczny zachod slonca, oraz ciekawa notatka, cale nasze zycie to noce i dnie i powinnismy je wykorzystywac zawsze tak aby wygladaly tak pieknie jak ten Twoj Zachod Slonca, bo jak wiadomo nikt z nas nie wie ile ich jeszcze mozemy zobaczyc.
Zdrowia i pomyslnosci w Nowym Roku.

Witaj Henryku,
zadroszczê Ci, ¿e masz "doj¶cie" do takiego bajkowego ¶wiata, i jednocze¶nie cieszê siê, ¿e siê nim z nami dzielisz, oby jak najwiêcej.
Pozdrawiam
Marek

emka (21131) 2009-01-01 15:43

Witaj już w Nowym Roku,

rzadko tu gościsz. Tytuł wieloznaczny - ostatni zachód w 2008 roku, zdjecie zrobiłes w Sylwestra, albo masz dość zachodów i nie będziesz ich wysyłał więcej na TE, albo niestety niektórzy przyjaciele już nie ujrzą więcej zachodu słońca.. . Ta nostalgiczna atmosfera sugeruje trzecią mozliwość. Tak się smutno zakończył ten rok na TE. Masz przyjemnie, że takie widoki możesz podziwiać niedaleko domu. ladnie wygląda Słupia częściowo zamarznięta, fajny szron na uschniętych trawach, piekny kolor nieba.

Wszelkiej pomyslności w Nowym Roku życzę

Małgorzata

Hello Henryk
It seems very cold out there...in the haze, the sun gives that star like effect. Beautiful use of perspective with the pond of water. Lovely!
Wishing you & your dear ones the very best for 2009

Bardzo mi ten pejzaż pasuje klimatycznie na ten niezbyt wesoło zapowiadajacy się Nowy Rok. Piękny jest i smuteczkiem takim wieje :)
Oby spokój panował dalej, ale chłód zelżał :))
Wszystkiego najlepszego na Nowy Rok życzę T.

Hi Henryk,
Last nice photo of 2008, and the first post of 2009.
I like the light and the silver tones that creates on this simple landscape, and the sheens and the reflections on the water.
Well done.
Happy New Year for you and for your family, my friend.

Cześć, Henryku!
Mistycyzm tej sceny naprawdę powala! Fantastyczne światlo z gama odbic i odblasków. Kompozycja idealna i miejsce piękne. Zastanawia mnie tylko ta czerwona kropka w 1/3 ekranu na dole po prawej...
pozdrowienia,
Grzesiek
PS. Pomyślności i zdrowia w nowym roku!

Witaj Henryk,
Your beloved Slupia River is a beautifully familiar sight to me from your presentations. I especially like the way the soft light is reflected in the ice.

Thank you for your good wishes and a Happy New Year to you as well.
HLJ, Pat

alvaraalto (5225) 2009-01-09 13:34

Hi Henryk,

What a beautiful tranquil landscape!
Great balanced contrast in the difficult back-light circumstances.
The soon vanishing sun is trying to warm the cold landscape in vain. Great symbolic for a year that has come to its end.

Groet Rob

jhm (81659) 2009-01-12 5:31

Hello Henryk,

A lovely clos-up for end of the year, without snow in Poland.
I like the light and the silver tones that creates on this simple landscape, and the sheen and the reflections on the water.
We see here a wonderful result, lovely winter picture.
Sharpness and clarity are superb. TFS.

Best regards,
John.

batalay (20680) 2009-01-12 11:50

Hello Henryk,

Sensational image, with a sense of bitter, penetrating cold. Your light control and resolution are superb.

Warm regards,

Hi Henryk, fascinating sunset composition with fantastic light, beautiful soft colors, very well done, ciao Silvio

ChrisJ (69464) 2009-01-31 15:15

Hi Henryk

Missed this one. The watm colours belie the coldness, of this superb winterscape, & the partly frozen river. Good sharpness & reflections. Tfs!

danyy (67924) 2009-02-02 22:50

Bonjour Henryk,
une région assez désolée dirait-on, mais c'est là qu'on aime souvent se ressourcer, prendre du recul avec la civilisation quand on en a besoin. Cette photo m'inspire ce genre de mometn que souvent je recherche.
Et même si il fait froid, l'ambiance est magnifique.
Superbes lumières.
Regards.
Daniel.

pablominto (39884) 2009-03-16 22:56

Hello Henryk,

This is a fine capture of the effects of backlight playing with the icy surface!
The frozen straws add to to winter atmosphere, so does the pale blue sky...!

Greetings,
Pablo -

papagolf21 (55926) 2009-03-17 1:54

Bonjour, cher Henryk,

J'aime cet aspect sauvage et beau à la fois.
Une image très bien composée. Le talent est bien présent.
Amitiés.

anducina (8062) 2009-06-07 13:22

Hi Henryk,
Superb scene of fog and silver tones, lighted by the pale, melancholic winter sun.
Your photos are a real inspiration to me...
