Te Henga fullview Photo

Photographer’s Note

Hello to all my TE friends,
This is the full view of Te Henga (Bethells), the coast which situated in between Piha and Muriwai down at the west coast of Auckland!
As we are getting closer to autumn soon and with the weather like this, so I decided to enjoy the weather to the fullest with my little friend in hand to capture the nice weather like this!
Hope you can enjoy it and thank you for your time and viewing!
My best regards to everyone!

Hello Ho! The double curve of the shore is really what makes the photo, but it's accompanied by those great colours. The two people on the beach give it scale and dimensions. And the green rock in the water is the subject of it all.
Well done! TFS and best regards,
Inés

Hey Ton,

Wonderful yet again, perfect in all aspects of photography I can imagine. Crisp clear, wonderful colors, brightness, lighting, and sharpness. Of course its hard to miss with a gorgeous motive like that, but you go one step further.

See you around.

josepmarin (33785) 2008-03-09 3:56

Hi Ho,
A really magnificent, very beautiful landscape very well caught in your composition. I like the great quality of image and of colors, and the deep perspective. The foam of the waves and the clouds in the sky they add a lot of strength to the image.
Good work.
Best regards,
Josep

cheers

markstaples (15670) 2008-03-09 7:21

The curve of the water makes for such an excellent composition. I'm amazed at the scale of this which is only visible thanks to the inclusion of the people. Nice rich colours as always. Nice work!
Best wishes
Mark

Truja (4948) 2008-03-09 8:03

Hola Tony,
it is brilliant the sensation of well-being and serenity that transmits this beautiful photography. You give a dream landscape to us, with intense colors and tonalities.
The composition is fabulous, very well seen and made and with a light that prints brightness to all the image. I like to see the tranquillity of that pair with the dog taking a walk by the border.
Bravo Tony!!!

Best regards my friend, Jordi

ElAprendiz (7370) 2008-03-09 18:28

Hello my friend Tony

Surely that is a spectacular shot. The striking as this rock formation has taken space at sea. The vegetation at the top, I called the attention.

The depth of field is beautiful, tones alongside lighting, are well made, and the couple walking along the beach, gives great impetus to the scene.

John

AROBN54 (10725) 2008-03-09 22:03

Oh, Tony...
this one is just awesome. The view is incredible and that light is just unbelivable. Marvelous clear, bright color, fabulous sky and the people give it just a perfect finishing touch. Just wonderful! Many thanks and have a great week,
Shelly

TopGeo (21711) 2008-03-10 0:50

Hi Tony!A lot of interest presents your new picture. I like the background with the colour and the cloud! The rock with the archers lines of waters creates a dynamic composition that impresses! I like it!
Compliments
Georgios

bakes888 (18137) 2008-03-10 0:51

Hi Tony. Yes it’s nearly time start finding all those winter clothes again, make the most of the autumn first though! Great photo. The people on the beach are a good addition to add scale and the human touch. Well captured and thanks for sharing.
Cheers, Paul.

azaf1 (15541) 2008-03-10 1:36

Hi Tony
Those places must be a very rewarding experience to live. It's like chinese painting in a way with this lovely green color on the rock and the sea around it

The air feels so pure there. Very precise shot with wonderful colour quality. Certainly a very beautiful place.

UnTrained (0) 2008-03-10 8:02

Hi Tony,
a nice view with the beach curves before and after the rock. The small part in the wet sand reflecting the rock is great. But the sky is also a great addition and the final thing are those beach walkers.
Lieben Gruss, Ulf

fulvio52 (8314) 2008-03-10 10:03

Another outstanding effort, Tony.
Perfect framing, with shore, clouds and waters merging together in One Wonderful View!
Awesome clarity and colors. I love it!
Have a great day, buddy. I'll see you soon.

Hello Tony,
This is your best yet and that is saying alot! The lovely turquoise sea and crashing surf outlines and highlights this beautiful island of lush green shrubs. Your POV catches fantastic line to this beautifully shaped beach. The two lone hikers and their faithful companion are a very charming bonus element to this stunning image.

asajernigan (14080) 2008-03-11 8:20

Tony,
This is a great shot! The lighting and colors are fine and the sharpness and detail is great.
Your composition is great using the curve of the beach and waves to lead the eye through the shot. The great blue sky forms a nice backdrop for the shot.
TFS,
Asa

Jakab (3458) 2008-03-11 12:28

Hello Tony,
it seems all of the elements do their best when saying farewell to the summer. The sky with clouds and the sea with foaming waves show probalby their nicest colours. The rock and the mounts in the background are astonishing. The sharpness and other parameters are excellent as always.
I would not miss the part of the hut on the left side, I find it disrupts the calm coast plain and takes the attention from the two figures.
Best whishes and waiting for your winter photos
Laszlo

miumiu (3866) 2008-03-11 12:38

batalay (20836) 2008-03-12 16:10

Hello Tony,

Your photographs of the shoreline in New Zealand are some of the finest such photos I've seen anywhere. Including the two strolling individuals in this panoramic view gives both a scale and a human touch. The composition, colors and resolution all collaborate to make this a memorable vision.

Well done, Tony,
Bulent

Hi Tony,

Another beautiful sight of this paradisiac place. This rock is really very photogenic. The weather conditions were ideal and I like much this splendid sky which gives a superb relief to this marine landscape. I will like to be in the place of these walkers and…. of this dog which seems to be pleased much to walk along water. Thank you Tony for this beautiful photograph.

With all my friendships and a very good WE,

HI Tony,

This is wonderful .. Beautiful greens and blues .. I love the way the water almost links greens of the plants to the sky .. the people amplify the vastness of the place .. My favorite part is the feeling I get of wind and motion from the plants and surf .. beautiful !!!

take care,

John

Hello Tony,
I like the double curve of the beach line, it is an eye-catcher for me!
Otherwise the colours are beautiful as rendered by the fine light this late summer day...
It is a well balanced composition, where the rock with the fresh vegetation stands out well!

jean11-3 (2799) 2008-04-22 4:10

Hello Ho,you have a gallery of beautiful shots.
I like this one for the composition and its colours.
The sea has made two lovely curves as the small island obstructs the tide.
There is a lovely reflection of the island in the sea too.
The two people and their dog provide a measure of scale for us.
Tfs, regards Jean.

westozman (2869) 2008-06-18 16:35

G'day Tony!

And I thought Wharariki was pretty special! Whilst this great shot of yours has similar elements, the colours are very obviously from the North Island: a splendid result!

Best wishes,
Jeff

Silversnow (2107) 2008-07-24 10:29

I though the rock was superb, but the I noticed the 2 persons walking and saw the gigantic scale of it :D
Great composition and superb colors!

Hola Ho:

Es impresionante esta visión con la roca en medio, las olas en simetria, ese cielo increible, esos contraste, una foto de A+++ PARA MIS FOTOS FAVORITAS, buen trabajo.

Un saludo,
Elena

fanni (8733) 2008-10-23 13:58

Hello Tony,
very beautiful view! Two tiny people standing near the water look so infinitely small as compared to the huge rock partly covered with greenery (trees, I suppose)! I like the way the white clouds match the whitecaps of the water which is of an absolutely amazing colour! Excellent POV showing these two semi-circles of the water. Very good lighting and wich well-saturated colours! I like this sunny fresh sight!
kind regards from grey autumn Moscow,
Elena

Hellas (5117) 2009-02-13 0:49

Amazing landscape, Tony!
Lovely saturated colours, clarity and a PoV which emphasizes the curve of the beach and the huge rock full of bushes, standing out against the waves. Very good frame!

Have a nice weekend,
Athanasios.

parbo (10968) 2009-04-30 18:49

Hello Tony,

Your view from top excellently added splendid curves of shores. Shallow shore with wide wet sand banks are invites to walk there as your guests are enjoying there. I liked enviable contrasts between green, sky and sea. The clarity and sharpness are superb as same every time. Tone changes on ocean water are just spectacular, congratulations.

Friendly Regards,

Ertugrul
