True Colours Photo

Photographer’s Note

Sometimes you can hardly believe your eyes when you are coming from the pale middle of Europe to a tropical island and you absolutelly are in need of good sunglasses in order to keep your eyes open.
A Fuji Velvia 50 and a circular polarizer helped to bring out the true colours without air reflections.

Hi Thomas - stunning polarised sky and rich colours overall, quality is like it was taken yesterday, not 9 years ago.

The scene is really nice and colorful, even if, personnaly, I'd prefer a lower degree of polarization which could give more natural colors and contrasts. Even a capture with natural light could be nice here (have you tried that ?). Well balanced composition and nice atmosphere. Thanks for sharing !
