Photographer’s Note

"Infinity"
Dam of Bethany - Huila (Colombia)
.......................................................

Again in the department of Huila, south of Colombia.

And again a picture as the main element WATER, where my country has large watersheds, including this very scenario already presented in previous deliveries: Dam of Bethany .

This dam has an area of 70 km2 around, and I wanted to portray this shot, the majesty of the place where the large capacity of water is most striking, perhaps. Therefore, I need to climb to the top of a ferry.

Again, a message to preserve this vital resource for all of us.

Best regards.

Hola John,
El titulo resumen bien la sensación que causa mirarla. El PdV bajo,la gran angular y la disposición de las nubes acentúan la sensación de espacio infinito producido por la gran superficie de agua en primer plano. Es una foto tan genial como sencilla.
Un abrazo, José.

Hola John!
The title fits perfectly to the image! I like it a lot! The wide open sky, the giant reservoir, both of them "cut" by the mountain range, yes, man, a very good composition with excellent technical qualities!
Another precious one from Colombia!
Yes, I might go there sometime! Last week they were showing some parts of your Country on TV and it was really impressive and inviting!
TFS - Congratulations!
Warmest regards,
Neyvan

Hola John.
Una vista amplia y profunda del lago, es simple pero muy bien captada con tu "wide angle", creo que lo que mas me llama la atención es el impresionante cielo. Buenos colores y POV.
Abrazos.

Buenos días John,
Esta imagen abierta hacia el alejado, es una invitación a una meditación y a una determinada nostalgia e incluso al romanticismo. Es simple y bonito. Bravo.
Buen domingo
Cordialmente
Joël

Hola John,

imagino que o título seja perfeito para essa fotografia. É a primeira palavra que vem quando a olhamos. Gosto também de como dividiu esses dois elementos água/céu e da imensidão dessa represa. Imagem simples e cativante. Parabéns!
Saludos,
Carlos

Hola John,

I like your series of WATER with wonderful photos. Here you captured a splendid ambiance created by lights through cloudy sky. The matted surface of dam lake completes your scene wonderfully with silhouettes of mountains at endless horizon. Again meaningful one, congratulations. Have a nice new week.

Saludos cordiales,

Hola John,
Una secilla composición pero con una perspectiva sobre el inmenso paisaje, espléndida, la inmensidad ante ti...
La visión del agua en cualquiera de sus formas (pacíficas), es siempre un placer para mi.
Me gusta esa llamada de atención en tus notas, para que nos concienciemos y conservemos esta fuente de vida.
Un abrazo amigo.
Charo
