Dreaming in the Pacific Photo

Photographer’s Note

At the end of the day...dreaming in the Pacific Ocean, specifically at Santo Domingo a beautiful seaside resort some 120 Km West of Santiago, the capital of Chile.
Hope you enjoy.
Saludos,
Robert

PS. Used a slow shuter speed 1/5 of a sec to attain some movement in the water & enhance the mood.

excellent colors nad framing. Magical, romatic, poetic

pboehringer (770) 2006-10-09 12:14

The colors are great, as always in your pictures. Placing the women in the left upper corner of your shot makes the composition perfect, but what really makes this shot unique is the long exposure giving the silky, milky appearence to the water.
Have a nice week!

hello Robert.
Nice to see a post from you after a little while. i actually saw this shot this morning, but I was at work and couldn't comment. Well, not to sound like a broken record, but your colors are fantastic. Again you manage light so well. Exemplary exposure time and the inclusion of the woman in the surf was just a spectacular idea. I'd like to have this hanging in my house so I could look at it time and again.
Regards,
Chris.

Hello,

Wahouu ! Excellent shot ! Je trouve très beau l'effet que tu as su créer dans la vague ! Elle a réellement l'air d'être en mouvement ! un très joli filé très réussi !
Bravo !

A very beautiful effect on the water and the foam of the waves. A very long exposure I assume to get this excellent silky effect. The colors on this composition are superbly done with interesting tones. I like the figure of the woman, standing lonely and looking at the horizon. Definitely this is a very good artistic shot. Cheers from Calgary and thanks for sharing Robert :-)

hi robert
Beatiful work and result. Good inclusion of the shore line, right placement of the horizon line and of course the girl very essential for the total result. Splendid colours and the right shutter for the soft impression. Top work

This is an amazing dream-like picture. Could just be part of a fantastic movie, not Hollywood style with lots of special effects, but one of these mysterious magical movies that i love so much. Thanks for sharing such a good one with us.

Budapestman (42810) 2006-10-14 14:34

Hello Robert,
This is an extremely moody image..!
I think you convey the vastness of the ocean very well...
The light is awesome of course, and the eternal surf rolling and rolling!
A great composition!

Hi Robert,

feather (50144) 2006-10-16 5:49

The sunset colours are stunning, especially the way they are reflected in the sea. The slow shutter has also given a lovely sheen to the water. The girl is placed perfectly in the frame admiring the view.

Hola Robert!
Fabuloso el color violaceo de la foto!!! Muy bien visto, y ese enfoque de costado tambien le da un aspecto muy armonioso a la foto... y el agua, parece seda, de la mejor calidad, de esa que traen del otro lado del mundo :D
Preciosa tarde.
Un beso, Paula.

Hi Robert,
This is creativity at its best. A somewaht similar shot I did post before mine short series of B&W and I can feel the shot to the every possible extent.
Great colours and a longer exposure makes this shot different and unique and even better than mine.
Congrtatulations for the milky effects.

Hi Robert,
Simply my favourite kind of images, gorgeous well saturated colours. The slow shutter speed has resulted in this dreamy apttern though it has also given the picture a little soft look. Its a great shot nevertheless.

Olá Robert,
Visitar o seu portofólio tem sido muito agradável e muito instrutivo. Verdadeiras aulas de fotografia. E tem mais: estou decidindo para onde viajarei no próximo dezenbro e ao ver as suas fotos, cada vez mais me inclino a ir para o Chile.
Abraços,
João Eduardo

Hi Robert, the colors, motion in the water, and subject are all fantastic. I especially like that you had that girl standing there to give it a bit of perspective.

Fantastic shot Robert, great long exposure effect on the water and the model is quite sharp as well. Great colours also.

alentejo (1954) 2006-11-26 14:40

Hi Robert !
Great picture indeed. I like the POV and the colors. The title really fits with the shot. The girl is looking at the horizon, far away and it is well composed.
Good stuff.
Best regards.

This is Marvelous one Robert. What a difference it makes when you add a human element to this equation. The picture is lively and colorful and most importantly - Beautiful !

CLODO (4631) 2009-04-17 23:04

Hi Robert
You framed very well this shot with the lady in a strong point looking at the sunset (we can see it on her red face) and waited for the right moment to have a wave tto fill the back of your picture. As you said, the low speed used leads to blurred the motion of the water, adding some romantic mood.
Well thought and realized
