Photographer’s Note

Myrkur

Loftið leikur við lakið sveipar frið
Ljósið lýsir þér læðis farið er
Tunglið tekur við tælir hugans mið
Máninn mænir á myrkur far þú frá
drauma mína sá drungalegur fer
Dagur risinn er myrkur margur er
Meiðir sér aleinn er

------------------------------------------------

Darkness

The air plays with, the sheet covers peace
The light lights you, tiptoed gone it is
The moon takes over, seduces the mind
The moon gazes on, darknes you be gone
A fabric drawn away, my dreams it saw, creapy goes,
Day has risen, darkness, many are
Hurts it self, alone he is

Ciao Paolo,
ma c'è qualche parte del mondo dove ancora non sei stato ??!! ;D)))
Bellissima atmosfera, immagino sia un lago, mi viene voglia di fare il boscaiolo!
Non è una critica (l'immagine è molto poetica!), ma nel mio monitor vedo una dominante verde, c'è di mezzo lo scanner da dia ?

Almost sepia like. This is another scan, right? I wonder if you post process them or what kind of film you took them with. This sepia tone is excellent, very natural.

supereira (9576) 2005-09-15 5:47

Beautiful shot.I like the composition and DOF.Good reflections in the water.I like the contrast between the mountain and the sky.I like the framing and the details.Good light,sharpness and colors.Well done!

DarkoG (2284) 2005-09-15 6:05

It was a really strange impression you achieve with this landscape. That was probably due to this dominant strange color.
Overall impression is great.
Fine work
Greetings
Darko

Hi Paolo,
A unusual picture but very beautiful, the reflections its superb, also the colours, indeed the picture is a bit dark but very attractive for looking, I enjoy this image.
Best regards,
John.

Hello!!!

Impressive and eye-catching photo!!! I love the way you applied the filter (or maybe your PS?). The composition is well balanced and interesting. It makes me wonder how does it looks like in reality. And I like when photos stimulate my imagination. Well done!

leonorkuhn (14071) 2005-09-15 9:03

Ciao Paolo,
Is this a painting or a wonderful photo? Lovely dream-like atmosphere. What is real, what is fantasy? It's not important. It is only beauty. TFS.
Leonor

Paolo bonjour je ne sais pas le traitement que tu as fais mais on dirait vraiment un ancien tableau accroché dans un musée et comme la photo est remarquablement prise, c'est un remarquable tableau
Merci et bonne après midi
Gaby

AmiBe (6042) 2005-09-15 10:28

Hello Paolo,
very special atmosphere with these colors, a little bit lugubrious...
I like your composition.
Well done

naxius (16679) 2005-09-15 13:25

Hello Paolo,
A very nice landscape with great colors.
I am not convinced by the colors of the frame..
Nevertheless, a splendid shot..
Alex

Emile (20151) 2005-09-15 13:35

Hi Paulo,
here similar as in previous. View as painted. Unusual colours. It's very interesting, good idea. I like it.
Rgs, Aleksander

Ciao Paolo,
magica atmosfera, si respira l'aria fiabbesca e devo guardare meglio la foto per trovare qualche elfo ;)

thaprem (2498) 2005-09-15 18:47

Paolo,
Just like gaby`s images yours has a choice of tones which is also warm & evokes a lot of positive feeling!...
This is one more which is very hormonious...
A lot of balance & a excellent POV.

TFS
Prem.

dsidwell (9745) 2005-09-15 21:40

I love the composition, Paolo! It is well balanced, but with different textures and lines from left to right. It looks like the color balance is off just a bit, but a very pleasant photo!

fayeulle (26547) 2005-09-15 22:21

starbug (6924) 2005-09-16 6:45

Hi Paolo, this photo has such a mystic atmosphere that when I look at it it seems to have been taken in another world- this light is so specific..but I can't name why. perhaps because even though it is light, it seems dark in mood...beautiful colours, great composition. Thanks for sharing!
best regards

jrj (34779) 2005-09-16 10:19

Very moody this detail from the lake Paolo. Excellent postwork with the scanning as other sdjustments. I like it in this mood. Good choice of frame.

sarju (5308) 2005-09-16 10:43

Hi Paolo
I am really very happy that I came to your gallery as you have posted some amazing photos since the last time I visited.
Regarding this photo I think it is awesome as the tones of colours that you are showing are very nice and warm ... thank you
Sarju
PS: Regarding Sigur Ros ... thanks for translating their song ... I listen to them religiously almost half of the times that I skate on the canal in the winters ... and I skate pretty much everyday for an hour or a bit more depending upon the wind

rbcy1974 (20746) 2005-09-16 14:00

HI Paolo,
Really nice image with a poetic feeling to it.
It is interesting the overall greenish tones in the environment. It has a real retro 60's kind of feel to it.
Regards
Daniel

sun_web (667) 2005-09-16 20:49

Beauitful & eye-catching photo!!! The composition is well balanced and interesting. It makes me wonder how does it looks like in reality. Makes me want to see the place in real! Good job!

paolino (1024) 2005-09-17 18:48

Uno splendido tramonto nordico. La luce cosi' tenue e i riflessi sono splendidi. Fosse stata una foto digitale, l'effetto sarebbe stato davvero straordinario: ma non e' poi detto. io comincio ad avere un po' di nostalgia per le vecchie reflex a pellicola.

cessy (13647) 2005-09-18 10:26

woww .. Paolo
it looks like a painting
very beautiful
gorgeous colors and reflection
very well done

rabani (9429) 2005-09-28 3:20

I'd say the start of a new style of color rendering. Between black/white and color with a hint of sepia, make this composition unique, lovely sad and a quiet one.

tonikrou (450) 2006-03-28 13:50

great shot and colours

molla (6903) 2007-02-09 5:09

Hejsan Paolo!
My grandmother born 1880 in Southern Lappland, She lived until her death 1979 in the same house. and in her tiny, tiny bedroom ther was a small painting over the combined bed/sofa. and it's Creepy similar to your image.
And thank you for your Islandic Poem!
