Port of Leonsberg Photo

Photographer’s Note

This is port or small catwalk of Leonsberg. My new curiosity is stitching multi frames till few days. This one also stitched from three frames by vertically taken without tripod. Time is for low-tide now and Suriname River’s muddy water flowing normally to Atlantic Ocean. That’s why boats are tied at left side of the port.

You know already Suriname River. Flowing from right to left, it means Paramaribo is at right part only 5 kilometer far, and Atlantic Ocean is at left side just few kilometers after. There is also one more private port you can see at left but I couldn’t get permission yet for use it. Also be don’t surprise when you visit here because the port at left part is actually parallel located to port of Leonsberg

You can see also some fire smokes under clouds at New Amsterdam. We are in dry season now. It means less tropical rain. People are firing all the bushes for cleaning many times with trees together. This is one of important problem here. First they are giving damage to environment for creating land etc. and if wind direction changes then all smokes are coming to city.

Suriname River : The Suriname River is 480 km long and flows through the country of Suriname. Its sources are located in the Guiana Highlands on the border between the Wilhelmina Mountains and the Eilerts de Haange Mountains (where it is known as the Gran Rio). . The river flows below the reservoir along Brokopondo, Berg en Dal, the migrant communities Klaaskreek and Nieuw-Lombè, Jodensavanne, Carolina, Ornamibo and Domburg, before reaching the capital Paramaribo on the left bank and Meerzorg on the right bank. At Nieuw-Amsterdam it is joined by the Commewijne and immediately thereafter at the sandspit Braamspunt it flows into the Atlantic Ocean.

The river has several sets of rapids as well as a few dams, the largest of which is the Afobakadam. The river's flow is interrupted by the Brokodo Reservoir, which therefore divides the river into two sections. The upstream section runs almost entirely through the Sipaliwini district, and the downstream section runs through the Brokopondo, Para, Commewijne, Wanica and Paramaribo districts.

josepmarin (34295) 2006-10-19 13:50

Merhaba, Ertugrul,
it is a very beautiful composition, where you obtain a great harmony between the elements. The river with those dark waters has a strong resists with the wonderful sky and its clouds. The catwalk breaks the low part of the image with a great perspective.
The boats and people add quality to the photo.
Very good, my friend.
Regards,
Josep

Hi Ertugrul,
This is a great image. The fluffy clouds in the lovely blue sky look glorious. The view up the pier adds a lot of interest to the photo. I am environmentally conscious too and would be upset by the smoke in the distance. Thank you for sharing.
Cheers,
Debbie

Merhaba Ertuğrul,
Görünüm çok güzel... Bulutlu gökyüzü, renkler ve bakış açısı da; dinlendirici, huzur verici...
Ellerine sağlık.

prezntime (3945) 2006-10-21 23:56

Greetings Ertugrul.
Did you say that the pier to the left runs parallel to the pier that leads into the photo? It is an amazing trick of perspective...the panoramic view you have "stitched" together is very well done. Good levels on the horizon..wonderful saturation of colors. I really like the human elelment walking on the pier to the right.
Very well done,
Chris.

leo61 (44118) 2006-10-22 8:58

Hi Ertugrul!
I love those skies with the puffy clouds,like in some of my Cape Verde photos.Fantastic contrast between the sky and the strange colored water.
Excellent POV and composition with the pier leading the eyes to the clear horizon.Good perspective and great depth.
Regards,leo

Hi Ertugrul,

Great landscape, the colours are intense and very beautiful, the sky is perfect, those clouds seem cotton, and they contrast of an interesting form with the tone of the water, good idea to include in the composition the bridge in the lateral one of the scene, it provides to the image a good depth, good work!

Regards

José

macondo (13361) 2006-10-28 21:32

Wow, Ertugrul, what fantastic shots of Suriname! This one is a wonderful stitching job, and it gives us a magnificent view of the river. It is great to look down the jetty on the right, but see the other jetty on the left at that strange angle. I am not surprised you have become very interested in stitching. This is one of the best I have seen. A beautiful relaxing image, and I like to see the people in it, too. Thanks for the interesting notes. Well done.
Regards,
Andrew

TeresaT (10733) 2006-10-30 17:04

The sku is great with this white clouds and of course the boats are the cherry on the top of the cake.
Beautiful colours too.

Hi Parbo,

Very interesting lines you have going on here. They create an interesting composition and, though the image is very simple, it is fun to watch.

Cheers,
Enrique

qpochet (1378) 2006-11-15 9:39

Hi Ertugrul,

Very nice shot. Excellent POV with interesting composition, above all thanks to the off-centered pier that leads the eyes. Very sharp shot also with amazing clouds in the sky.
Nice job!
Quentin.

Hello Ertugrul,
I like a lot the beautiful colour composition of the photo, the wide horizont and the sense of great space.I´m impressed by the size of the river.

Hi friend!
Magnificent seascape! I liked POV,moment you caught,details and composition a lot! Beautiful clouds, sky a a clever perspective! Take care Ana:)

kensimage (8543) 2006-12-07 0:38

Very nice, Ertugrul, you managed to make a muddy brown river look nice, which is not easy! The composition is good, except that perhaps the horizon should not be so centered. Maybe more sky. Regards, Ken.

Cpamoi (10329) 2006-12-15 12:54

Hi,
nice composition, the 50/50 panoramic view is an excellent choice.

AgaA (2634) 2006-12-23 20:19

Perfect composition and a lot of space in one frame. Very good quality :)

highman (1185) 2006-12-24 4:57

Hello Ertugrul,

You have so many great photos in your portfolio. You have created great composition here with the boats and people on the right side. Nice contrast and colurs also.

Have a nice Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Kind Regards,

Wojtek

ben4321 (9809) 2007-01-03 15:13

This one just leapt out of your gallery at me, Ertegrul.
the panoramic crop works well, and I like how the line of the jetty draws the eye into the scene.
The light has a wonderful clarity, and that great sky adds to the impact.
Good work.

Cheers,
Ben

gmg (1970) 2007-01-06 5:51

A great perspective thanx to the pir and the flat horizon. But to place the pier on the extrem right added movement and interest to the picture.
Also good framing and the unusual format is another point of interest.
Thanx for sharinf and for the interesting note too

gunbud (28325) 2007-02-02 23:14

Hello Ertugrul,
Beautiful blue sky and clouds that would reflect nicely in the water at high tide. Lovely panoramic view of this low land river at low tide.
Regards, Tom

banyanman (7739) 2007-04-24 11:35

HGreat job of stitching, Ertugrul. It creates an excellent panorama without any lens distortion if you'd tried this with a wide angle lens. The nicely polarised sky makes a striking contrast with the muddy water. Cheers . . . David

danos (33766) 2008-04-21 3:51

Hello Ertugrul,
excellent the POV that you chose in order to give depth of field in your shot.The wooden jetty in the left balance the scene as the perfect placement of the horizon.Clouds are so impressive and make the capture unique.Informative and useful your note.

Have a nice week,Danos

gracious (20017) 2009-01-19 13:17

Merhaba Ertugrul,
Selamlar!
The great river gives endless beauty of it's own from your postings of it, always with awesome clouds formation above the river that makes a perfect composition!
good placement of the catwalk and loved the depth of this image!
take care and sincere regards
Tony
