Breakfast with horses Photo

Photographer’s Note

I see sometimes the winners of contests and there are a lot of ugly photos, for example a nail in concret... I wonder how one can admire a lot of time such a yawner (I hope it is a correct word), but it happens. I wonder if I`m correct trying to take a beauty of nature instead of dirty wall in the ugliest part of the town. I wonder if I should spend many hours with horses, to be out of sleep, with wet shoes, bitten by mosquitoes, or maybe I should wander once a month at my streets and then praise how big artist am I...
I think that is something sick in this "art" and I suspect that it is created by people, who cannot take a really good photograph... instead they catch our notice somewhere else...;)

The problem maybe solved for some time, because today my camera was flooded several times and it doesn`t work any more. I hope that after a day it will dry and it revive. In the other case, still I have a few thousand images to show ;).

Very well done the horse is coming out the misty mood. The light is very well spread, touching each element.
This result from a hunt is great, and even if the mosquitoes have bitten you you can be satified, a lot will like this one like I do.

excellent work. truly.

eev99 (1198) 2007-08-29 9:39

Hi Henryk,

One thing I can say is that is a winning shot. Love the softness of the mist and the sepia tones which dominate this picture.

Buin (37412) 2007-08-29 10:36

Hallo Henryk!
A beautiful photo - and a courageous note! I like both!
You caught the morning atmosphere very well here and all in this picture is calm, beauty, peace ... Each day should begin in this way ...
Greetings from very cool Germany!
Frank

cimcim (3706) 2007-08-29 10:59

Incredibly beautiful..... Composition and technic is wonderful!
You are always amazing...
Its very attractive!

jackart (5542) 2007-08-29 12:04

Witaj Henryku!

O takie właśnie patenty chodzi. Ile jest zdjęć koni na TE? Pewnie wiele. Za to u Ciebie koń to element kompozycji, patentu (jednego z wielu) na piękną fotografię. Jeśli chodzi o opis - hmmm zastanawiający...sądzisz że chodzi o zalany aparat? A może to jakiś kryzys wieku średniego?

Pozdrawiam
Jacek

DKarine (3852) 2007-08-29 12:45

Ta photo est extraordinaire...
quelle ambiance, avec ce soleil, et cette brume...
J'adore!

Merci pour ce joli partage.
A bientôt
Karine

Witaj Heniek!
Widzê konia, s³onko i mgie³kê. Notatki nie przeczytam :-(. Ale zdjêcie robi wra¿enie. Fajna kolorystyka i nastrój. Dobry kadr.
Pozdrawiam
Krzysztof
P.S.
Nie powinno byæ "¦niadanie z koñmi" ;-)

Edyta_B (1195) 2007-08-29 14:14

Witaj Henryku!
Ile¿ to wysi³ku i po¶wiêcenia nawet, kosztuje zrobienie "niezwyk³ej", artystycznej fotografii?... Nie tyle (i nie tylko) ³adnej, ale przede wszystkim niezwyk³ej. Ty co¶ na ten temat mo¿esz powiedzieæ i nieco o tym piszesz w opisie do zdjêcia...
Fotografia jest nastrojowa poprzez mg³y otulaj±ce ³±kê, roz¶wietlane przez poranne S³onko. ¦rodek lata, a mi tu ju¿ jesieni± pachnie, jak zerkam na te pajêczynki :). ¦wietne "zamglone" ¶wiat³o i ciep³e barwy kreuj± tê ciekaw± "konikow±" kompozycjê. Czuæ poranny ch³ód ;). Po prostu: niezwyk³e, nastrojowe zdjêcie. Podoba mi siê :).
Pozdrawiam serdecznie

Hello Henryk,
Sorry to hear of your camera's last breath.
Now to the image at hand;
I like the softness that the atmosphere offers in this pastural painting that you have captured. The fog and soft lighting are very beautiful...
Steve

mikeo (12113) 2007-08-29 23:41

Skad Ty bierzesz takie widoki w Polsce?? Ja dookla widze tylko samochody, meneli na smietnikach i takie tam:) A u Ciebie jak konie to konie jak na dzikim zachodzie, jak gory to jak w Himalajach, jak pustynia to jak na Saharze... Idzie doline zlapac przez Ciebie:)

Co do koni super klimat, uchwycenie chwili, super POV... Co tu wiecej pisac...

CZe¶æ!
Bardzo ³adne zdjêcie. Ma swój nastrój, jaki¶ spokój z niego emanuje. Ciekawe kolorki. I ta mgie³ka... No i s³oneczko jest piêkne.
Marek

isabela_sor (42022) 2007-08-30 1:32

Your camera will be just fine!!!Must be!
About art....it has so many defintions and for sure I dont understand the modern art,but I accept other's visions
So beautiful atmospheric shot, nicely composed and for sure it deserved all your patience.It looks almost like something out of a dream
Hugs

noborders (14199) 2007-08-30 2:55

There is so much poetry and fantasy in this photo ! Certainly much better than a rusty nail in concrete in an uggly town (although there are also good city photos around here) - your note is really interesting too, and I hope that your camera will dry quickly, but you seem to have anyway lots of other good shots in store to show us...
Congratulation for this one, I love it !
Cath.

feather (49858) 2007-08-30 3:02

Amazing light with the sun piercing through the mist. It is placing some good highlights on the horse and the grasses. Like all your photos it is very atmospheric.
Kath

delkoo (34158) 2007-08-30 3:14

hi henryk

I never get tired of seeing shot from this amazing scenery, especially when it's as well taken as this.
very well done

Jackos (3409) 2007-08-30 3:43

Ciekawa i nieco prowokacyjna notka. No cóż, ilu artystów tyle spojrzeń na sztukę, ale o tym można dyskutować godzinami... Co do zdjęcia - coby nie powtarzać wszystkich superlatyw powiem krótko - podoba mi się :)
Pozdrawiam

riclopes (32957) 2007-08-30 3:44

Yes, I know how disapointed you are with the result of many contests and you really don't apreciate photojornalism images, but I have to say that I was like you and TE changed me in the way of apreciating urban captures of daily life with people. Anyway, you should be happy since you are really good with landscape photography and one of the guys that most impresse me here. Fantastic mood in this image. A pitty to know about your camera but you allways pushed it too much in rough conditions. I hope it is recovered by now...

Hi Henryk,
Beautiful sunshine effect and a very pleasant picture.

Hi Henryk,
Belle prise de la lumiére qui ce mélange a la brume, douce et paisible image, compliment
Best regards

batalay (20810) 2007-08-30 9:02

Hello Henryk,

I remember well your photos of the horses and the details of the grass (and even a spider cobweb); I am glad you visited the place again, and captured the view in a similar mood. Whatever hardship you went to in order to take this photograph, it is worth it, but you have deserved a night of star gazing.

Warm regards,

Bulent

sined (4483) 2007-08-30 9:05

a magic moment for you and for us ..
keep always this look !

nicol_g (759) 2007-08-30 14:32

Hi Henryku,
Love the atmosphere in this picture - idyllic, peaceful (I'm thinking of Charlotta Valley :) ). The sun light gives such a nice, soft effect to the morning mist & the brownish tones are wonderful.

Your note - there is much to debate here - such a subjective issue... In the end, I think, it's just a matter of how we resonate to different kinds/ genres of photography/ messages.
P.S.
I'll leave for my vacation in a week - take care and see you soon.
Kindest regards.

anavazao (5592) 2007-08-30 16:06

hi friend,
a very mistic shot.....the Colour, detail, composition and exposure of the light and fog, all just perfect! take care Ana:)

plimrn (19600) 2007-08-30 20:29

The horse in the FG meadow, the rays of sun in the mist and the angle of the line of trees all come3 together to make a very balanced an attractive compo, IMHO. Of course, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. My father still sees my mother as the most beautiful woman in the world; he tells her often that she is his beautiful love. You would see her as an ancient ruin. HLJ, Pat

berek (28849) 2007-08-30 21:48

Hi Henryk,
another picture from your dreams. mystic lovely atmosphere. very good light control and composition . well done. have a nice weekend.

AiresSantos (41866) 2007-08-30 23:33

Hi Henryk,
Misty mood in this amazing picture. I like the POV and the splendid light.

pablominto (40402) 2007-08-31 0:26

Hello Henryk,
Interesting backlight combined with the morning haze creates a beautiful scenerey!
The typical atmosphere is well captured, and the rural interest is taken care of by the horse...
A well composed presentation!
Greetings,
Pablo -

:-) OK-

vincz (19039) 2007-08-31 0:30

Dreamy picture, such a good capture of sun light in the mist. The composition with the horse is fantastic. Great job!

jaywalker (12190) 2007-08-31 0:40

Hi Henryk, A very beautiful photo, the light is excellent & sets a great atmosphere, the rays from the sun looks stunning, lovely soft tones, a gorgeous horse positioned perfectly, a very artistic shot, kind regards Wilson.

toto (18695) 2007-08-31 0:51

Belle photo de ce cheval qui déjeune, belle ambiance pour ce petit déjeuné, le soleil est la, bien pris,pas aveuglant et ses rayons tout autour,de plus ceux qui descendent donne a cette brume un effet fantomatique. Amitiés Thomas
je reviens

carper (64546) 2007-08-31 1:56

a very nice one Henryk
good backlight shot with a great atmosphere, good pov and very nice is the foggy atmosphere, very good photojob here, well done, have a nice day
gr. jaap

bakes888 (18101) 2007-08-31 2:55

Hi Henryk. It is probably the ugly art that finds it’s way onto the ugly walls of sterile high-rise condominiums in the concrete jungles of our new world. But that’s just a guess ;-). You have certainly captured the beauty in this scene. Well controlled light and composition. Thanks for sharing.
Cheers, Paul.

jlynx (11380) 2007-08-31 5:09

Tak, zdecydowanie warto wcze¶nie wstawaæ i o ile jest to mo¿liwe niekoniecznie w du¿ym mie¶cie. Nale¿y tak zrobiæ choæby dla niesamowitego ¶wiat³a, jakie o tej porze dnia nagle roz¶wietla horyzont, a kiedy nad ziemi± unosz± siê resztki mgie³ to widok jest taki w³asnie jak na tym zdjêciu. Koñ jest tutaj znakomitym punktem odniesienia dla zaistnia³ej sutuacji. Fantastyczne przedstawienie, ¶wietna gra ¶wiate³.
Pozdrawiam serdecznie,
Jurek

Scharan (13951) 2007-08-31 8:01

Olá Henryk

Uma foto magnífica...uma luz que dá à imagem um toque especial...um cenário de filme, lindo!
Grande abraço e parabéns.
Vera

john_c (24635) 2007-08-31 9:21

Hi Henryk,
Still chuckling over your note, with which I agree - particularly since I have a struggle appreciating much "modern art." This shot has an ethereal quality, with the rays of the sun fanning out and blending with the morning grasses, shrouding the trees. The horse really makes the scene work. Some might fine the scene too soft, particularly the grasses, but I like the painterly look very much. Hope your camera is soon operational, but your inventory at hand should see you through in any event. Cheers.
John

Stepan (27175) 2007-08-31 11:36

An interesting mono-tone mood here, well composed and captured.
The light is excellent and the mist very "useful" to enjoy it.
Stéphane

alvaraalto (5229) 2007-08-31 12:10

Hi Henryk,
Beautiful poetical picture. The misty brown colours are very moody. Your note is in style with that. I can understand you aren’t in a high spirit with a drowned camera. I hope the drying will be successful.
Groet Rob

NEC (1292) 2007-08-31 12:33

Witaj Henryk,
Pare dni temu jadac do Ustki przejezdzalem przez Slupsk.
Nawet sie rozgl±dalem czy tam gdzies przypadkiem nie latasz po miescie z aparatem...
A tu tymczasem taki ladny plenerek nam zaserwowales!
Znakomicie wypatrzony kadr,
Fantastyczna ta mgielka i sloneczno w tle.
Calosc pieknie skomponowana.
Super. Pozdrowienia
Marek

Tue (25608) 2007-08-31 13:41

Hej Henryk,
Very good backlight shot with nice brownish/sepia tones. You caught the early morning sunbeams very well and the horses in the field are a fantastic addition. Very well captured with a fine mood. Thanks for sharing!
Regards,
Lars

robertosalguero (2763) 2007-08-31 18:18

Awesome early morning fog and light. The horses are well framed against the still dark background, while the filtering light create a special effect on the scene. Good soft colours and excellent sharpness. Great job Henryk.

Roberto

Jej, kolejny raz wracam tu po malej przerwie i kolejny raz widze Twoje fantastyczne zdjecia ktore tak bardzo imponuja i sa genialne. Trzeba sie niezle napracowac zeby uzyskac taki efekt wiec ja daje ocene 11/10. Genialne zdjatko :)

Hi Henryk, fascinating view with wonderful light and splendid delicate colors, very well done, ciao Silvio

Angshu (33551) 2007-09-01 21:33

Hello Henryk
The photo is a poetry & the mood conveyed is superb, as the sun pierces through the dense fog. The horse is an important part of the scene. I liked your note & do agree with you to some extent. Good to know your camera has recovered and you'll be able to share your images again with us.
Regards
Angshu

polter (6080) 2007-09-02 4:47

Sama nostalgia w tej mgle porannej. Zdumiewające światło a jeszcze bardziej ciepła kolorystyka, choć słońce zdawałoby się dość już wysoko. Bardzo malarskie w stylu starych mistrzów... No i konie - nasza nieustająca wciąż tęsknota... Bardzo piękne zdjęcie, z tych pięknych naj... :))
Trochę poczułam się niekomfortowa, jako że sporo zdjęć pokazuję z miasta a te w "terenie" nie bardzo mi wychodzą ;))). Mam nadzieję, że z aparatem wszystko dobrze i dalej będzie Tobie i nam :)) służył.
Pozdrowienia serdeczne i niedzielne T.

pboehringer (770) 2007-09-03 7:34

Henryk, I' m more than glad that you didn't present us with a rusty nail on the wall, but hung this beauty on the nail. It reminds me your series of horses that you did last year. The atmosphere is simply beautiful. Quite interesting that you got the star effect of the sun with mere f/11.
Regards, Peter

enedimd (1528) 2007-09-06 11:41

Hi Henryk,
Excellent photo with superb POV really. Splendid light in morning atmosphere and beautiful composition. Well captured and very good job. Like painting. Your note is also very bravely. Congrats,
TFS.
Best friendly regards,

daddo (11279) 2007-09-07 0:14

Hi Henryk. A scene with a lot of spirit. It speaks to us in an emational and spiritual way. The fog and the light that penetrates the clouds creates a dreamlike atmosphere. Lovely work. Pozdrav. Klaudio.

Hello Henryk,
I must have missed this one. You sure sound pissed in your note, and you are probably right :). But here you have made a gorgeous picture that's not short of having an artful look, thanks to the strong backlight. Very nice. Regards,

Hello Mr. Bilor,
Amazing, mystical and mysterious photo! Like many others in your gallery, this one has a great moody atmosphere and excellent light in it. An unearthy scenery! TFS,

Hi Henryk,

What a wondrous diffusion .. great control of the light .. I don't know how you conceived of this image ... I am in awe of it since I wouldn't have thought to try to harness the sun like this .. wondrous ..
I sympathize with your aesthetic thoughts .. and hope for the best for your camera!

take care,

John

Witaj Henryk,
very atmospheric this shot with the lonely horse to graze in this splendid environment.The beams of the sun that try to penetrate the fog create a misty capture.Informative your note too.
