Touch the Blue Blue Sky Photo

Photographer’s Note

mm...........Analog...!
Scanned,
Used NI,

I have not a reason for breaking my new posts,...mmmm,maybe I'm homesick for analog camera?!
I don't know!
Just I found it in archive and in sudden I became nostalgic,...anyway...hope You like it.

***

The bridge in the shot has made before 75 years ago.In Iran,poeple know the bridge here as a landmark for the "Ahwaz" city,the capital of Khuzestan province,where is located in the south western of Iran.

The 850 kilometer long "Karoon" which is the widest river in Iran is the country's only navigable river,It flows into the Persian Gulf.
Among other rivers that flow into the sea of Oman and the Persian Gulf are Karkheh,Dialeh,Jarrahi,Hendijan and Arvand.

Welcome.

Hello Mohammad,
An urban landscape, not so usual, isn't it ? Very nice composition and colours.
It's really a different relation with camera and images between digital and analogic material? I thought it was due for me to the difference between a reflex and a compact one... but it seems it's not the unic reason. The relation with textures , time, delais change too.
I hope it's not a big crisis.
Thanks for sharing,
Mare

Hi Mohammad. Good angle on this bridge, with a fine perspective built as we follow its span across the river. Good handling of the strong light, rendering nice colors and details. Composition-wise, I would have perhaps taken 1 or 2 steps to the front in order to not have the tree overlap with the arch of the bridge. Well done, and also a good educational note coming with it.

ChristianS (2997) 2005-09-26 14:30

Hi Mohammed, nice to see some old pictures from an your analog camera; lately I shot only film, I'm a bit tired on digital right now :) Now back to ypur picture I like the nice perspective and composition with the brigde leading the eye over the river. The tree in the left corner is a nice addition both to the composition and the colour palette. The colours are superb particularly the blue sky. Well done!

Regards, Christian

Hi Mohammad,
This bridge makes an attractive subject, and the angle really makes the photo. Nice note on the information about the bridge.
All the best,
Anastazija

Hi Mohammad,
In my opinion (as you) photo is photo, digital, or analog.
The photograph must catch the right moment to do a good shot.
PS or other can help after, but the basis is the same.

Btw, nice picture, good composition ;o)
Regards,
Didier

Something else from you, a very, very clear shot, sky is so blue here.
Not only on the bridge we have a nice view, also the road in the left is a nice combination, nice seen, Mohammad !

pilpel-adom (3016) 2005-09-26 20:45

Nice tranquil picture, Mohammad! The skies, the empty path on the right, the setting sun...all contribute to this peaceful picture!
Thanks for sharing

Hello Mohammad,
Yes I know this nostalgic "back to the roots"
feeling,-from time to time I blow the dust from my analog camera and take her out for a stroll..
It´s a beautiful bridge with dynamic lines and you put it into a very good composition
with a good perspective.Excellent scan!
Greetings,
hermann

Nice angle on the bridge Mohammad, a mixt of curves and lines from this low point of view, nicely presented, excellent, thanks for sharing.

bantonbuju (48796) 2005-09-27 1:58

hi mohammad, a really nice comeback of analog photography; i like the composition, colours and saturation; good to return to our old pictures from time to time, isn't it?;
best wishes, jerzy

Amirsun (2114) 2005-09-27 2:41

Hi Dear Mohammad!
Excellent point of view and great composition with lines and arcs. I like nice colours and clouds in the sky. Tanks for posting this nice shot.

ChrisJ (70443) 2005-09-27 3:35

Hi Mohammad

I like the oposing arches, of the cloud & the bridge. They have a nice symmetry between each other. Well seen!

jmdaoudal (82) 2005-09-27 3:35

Very classic perspective, well built with a nice foreground.
I like very much the arch in the sky. Colors and quality are good;
Thank you very much for indications about the Iran's River.

Hi Mohammad! It's nice to see some of your new posts! The weather and lighting here is very good! Plus the colors are great! It doesn't look like a scanned image - quality is very good! Very good shooting angle, too! rgds.

weswang (18223) 2005-09-27 4:12

Hi Mohammad, You have done an excellent job to make this analog picture to have such high quality. I enjoy the nice composition, and the clear contrast of this picture. The foreground pathway and the crossing the picture bridge make nice contrast of different perspective view. The beautiful blue sky makes a very nice background contrast the beautiful scene. Well done.

RGatward (19749) 2005-09-27 4:13

I never tire of bridge shots, and this is a really interesting one. Slight quibble, the very strong contrast here seems to lost a bit of detail in places.

azadys (711) 2005-09-27 4:36

Hello Mohammad,

I really enjoy discovering your beautifull contry from your "eyes" my friend. You must know that for us, being always poluted by the american media, dont always have a good idea of what a contry is really like. This is the case for Iran. But your work has made me discover a wonderfull place that if it wasn't for you I would not wanted to visit. I thank you very much for this.
Great photo with a good point of view. With all the rivers here in Canada, it's a suprise to me that you only have one navigable river.

Thanks again!

jhm (83276) 2005-09-27 7:20

Dear Mohammad,
Your technic for scanning is very beautiful and absolutely great, but have to learn with your splendid camera working in digital, also we everything have to learn!
A wonderful image with great perspective and lovely colours too!
Thanks a lot,
John.

jemaflor (39755) 2005-09-27 12:23

Hi M,
Very nice POV, colours are excellent, beautiful blue and warm colours on the bridge.

pamastro (7213) 2005-09-28 0:32

In writing the intro I was looking back at your earlier photos and remembered this bridge. I wondered what had happened to it and now here it is again. A blast from the past. Once again it's a good view of the bridge, perhaps the best one of the very good shots of it. The point of view is just perfect capturing the elegant arches across the river. Even the tree seems swept forward across toward the bridge. And the sky also has that swept feel. Everything draws the eye across the pattern. Thanks for this piece from the pre-digital days.

sam224 (5851) 2005-09-28 9:13

Good composition with the bridge leading the eye to the background. Nice mix of colour and good blue polarized sky.
Well done!

Gregtom (7119) 2005-09-29 1:33

Hello, Mohammad!
It was really worth scanning and presenting! Very nice view, interesting place. I like the well saturated color of sky and tree and a very good perspective. Reflections in the river are also nice! Good job!
regards,
Greg

Galmeida (12559) 2005-09-29 4:20

Hi Mohammad,
A Nice bridge in a urbain place very well captured and with a very good enquadrement view and composition. The path and the tree is a valious addition to the picture. Good colors, contrast and sharpness.

Very fine work. Congratulations!
