The Trumpeter Photo

Photographer’s Note

"The Trumpeter"
....................................................

Dear friends, fraternal greetings.

Again I am faced with this work of art in the city of Ibague. This sculpture had already been captured by my lens in a previous release, known under the title Musician

¿Do remember? maybe.

On this occasion, traveling again saturday morning at the Music Park, an attractive place dedicated to the city known as the Musical Capital of Colombia, I wanted to experience a shot against a light, taking advantage of the beautiful and defined silhouette that renders the statue of trumpeter.

The sun was strong and I had it in front. The drops of water that spring from the jet close to the source, gently dot the atmosphere, and I wanted to take advantage of that strange sensation that occur when you get in touch with the rays of light.

For the experiment, since little attempt to carry out this kind of shots, I think the work has been very successful in terms of results. ¿Do you believe that?

Sincerely appreciate your comments.

John

Hi John,
I think you could call this a successful experiment! The contrasts between the solid black statue and the perfectly exposed background is nice, and the centrally positioned statue in the composition works well as the background is not too interesting. The high shutter speed has also completely frozen the water from the fountain in time. A nice shot, thanks for sharing
Regards
Lee

Hello John,
indeed, a successful experiment which resulted in a refreshing, original image! I like the dark silhouette of the musician against the sun, surrounded by crisp splashes & drops of water from the fountain! The 1/6000 did its job perfectly ;)
best regards,
Elena

Hello John, it is difficult to make pass a feeling, or an impression through a photograph, this work d' art is ideally development here, the expression body, details it scenic hands arises ideally because of camera angle and of the dancing waters which mix with the light, sincerely ...............
Bonjour John, il est difficile de faire passer un sentiment, ou une impression au travers d’une photo, cette oeuvre d'art est ici idéalement mise en valeur, l’expression corporel, le détaille scénique des mains ressort idéalement du fait de l’angle de prise de vue et des jeux d’eau qui se mélange à la lumière, bien amicalement

Hola John,

eu concordo com você. É um experimentalismo bem sucedido. O efeito na imagem dessa contra-luz ficou bem agradável e de certa forma ajudou a enfatizar as belas formas da obra de arte. Tenho certeza de que a fonte ao fundo contribuiu enriquecer o pano de fundo. Um belo trabalho!
Abraço,
Carlos

Very successful indeed, great shot! Excellent light and very natural colors. I also like water sprays behind el trompetista which is a very interesting statue.
Que tengas buen dia,

Hola John,
ya sabes qué opino de esta foto, me gusta por su excelente contraluz, utilizando la estatua para controlar la luz directa del sol, y consiguiendo además un bello efecto en las gotas de agua que brillan detenidas en el aire gracias a una alta velocidad de disparo.
El conjunto es armónico, tiene fuerza y es muy atractivo.
Has hecho un buen trabajo, sigue experimentando, amigo mío.
Un abrazo,
Josep

Olá Jonh,
essas estátuas são bem interessantes mesmo, e gostei aqui do contraste e da fonte ao fundo, muito bonito mesmo.
Parabéns e Abraço

Hola amigo John.
Muy buena foto a contraluz de la escultura, esta produce una muy buena silueta oscura junto a la fuente y en el fondo el edificio y las casas. Muy buena composición. Buen experimento.
Abrazos.

Hello John,
Good pov to obtain fantastic effect, water just like surrounding the statue and spreading out from the musical instrument, good sharpness and clear to show dripping water, good exposure and lighting facing to lighting source and make the statue in silhouette, good shoot.

Ciao John,
bellissima composizione con la statua in controluce e l'acqua che forma dei gioielli di riflessi.
perfetta la gestione della luce.
