Photographer’s Note

Boat driver is trying to go more faster, after hours of his delay. But his speed couldn't enough because we stuck at the junction point between Nickerie River and a small water canal due to missing of high tide period. Then next boat passengers, boat drivers and a photographer -beacuse I was shooting the scene ;)- pulled out the boat to higher water level WS1. How water was more lower at same junction point during our return -low tide- time WS2.

Nickerie River is located in the northwestern part of Suriname. The Nickerie River rises in the Bakhuys Mountains ("Bakhuysgebergte" in Dutch) and then flows to the North where it forms part of the border between the Coronie and Nickerie districts. The river then turns West and flows into the Atlantic Ocean via Wageningen and Nieuw-Nickerie.

Converted from RAW.

Many cheers you to all,

Merhaba, my friend Ertugrul,
A perfect perspective and a dynamic sensation in this capture. I like the POV with the prow of the boat pointing towards the horizon of the river, with a few very special colors.
Your WS are very good and offer us a good graphical information about the problems with the tide. The passengers did a good physical exercise :o)
Nice work.
Best regards
Josep

Hello Ertugrul,
Excellent catch from the boat which conveys the sense of oneself go sailing on the river. Excellent atmosphere with great perspective and depth.
Best regards my friend.

stego (22448) 2008-09-04 15:57

Merhaba Ertugrul,

I repeat myself again: these perspectives and treatment (or just use, which is even more remarkable?) of light are absolutely amazing!

On this one, besides all the rest, we have that impressive motion effect on the water. It's remarkable how we achieved that in a moving boat without blurring the rest. Bravo!

Thank you for including the WS's, they say much about the life on that region. I wouldn't imagine that there were places on that area with water everywhere where the water isn't deep enough for those flat bottom boats.

Selamlar, José.

Merhaba Ertuğrul Bey,
Bunca yıllık İstanbullu'yum, şöyle bir kayığın önüne oturup da Boğaz sefası yapamadım ya, ona yanarım :))
Bakış açısı, kayığın ucundaki hareket çizgileri, çamurlu renkler, olağanüstü netlik... hepsi süper. Tebrik ederim.

Olá Ertugrul, superb graphism and geometric arrangement with this triangle in FG fitting so well with the landscape. Nice speed effect and lovely mood of the late hour. Good story with the complementar photos in WS. Parabéns.
Um abraço,
ricardo

zeca (20026) 2008-09-05 23:27

Very good capture, Ertugrul! The bow of the boat is important to the composition. I like the dark sky, adding nice drama to the scenery. Well taken!

great perspective and POV of this scene and really looks like to close the gap in the horizon.I like the existence of the prow in the frame that give more depth in the scenery.The moody sky make it more atmospheric.Well done.

So beautiful reflection on the calm watersand. This place looks very quiet and peaceful under this grey and cloudy sky. Well done.
Best wishes,

SteveH (3995) 2008-09-08 5:16

Hi Erugrul, I thought I'd seen this shot yesterday but I was mistaken. Here is the one I had in mind (http://www.trekearth.com/gallery/photo950925.htm). Almost the same and so my comment is the same too! I like this, the POV showing details of the boat to one side, heading up the river and into the well presented sky. cheers, Steve

sayat (2944) 2008-09-08 9:54

Hi Ertugrul,
All three shots are beautiful but this one is the best for sure. One could not think of a better way of reflecting the feeling of speed than this almost symetrical and very beautifully balanced shot. TFS.

gunbud (28161) 2008-09-08 21:14

Hi Ertugrul,
Striking torpical river image with a wonderful sence of motion created by the bow of the boat moving swiftly over the muddy surface that catches striking images from the natural rain forest frame.
Regards, Tom

BennyV (4905) 2008-09-09 2:53

Hello Ertugrul,

A great sense of speed and an ominous dark, making it similar to my picture, but still very different. (With thanks to Steve for pointing me to your shot.)

Benny

COSTANTINO (23199) 2008-09-09 13:02

Hello Ertugrul,
great use of the wide angle to emphasize even more the stunning depth you delivered. The perspective is great and add dynamism to the compo; the dramatic sky and the general dark tones of the picture have brought a great feeling. Good job indeed.
Thanks for sharing it and regards,

Teknenin üçgen kısmı resmin içine o kadar iyi yerleşmiş ki sonsuza kadar uzanan bir perspektif ortaya çıkmış..

cfreire (11667) 2008-10-01 18:57

Hi Ertugrul,
Excellent perspective and creative POV were applied for this picture. The canoe's top leads our glance into the horizon line. Beautiful reflections indeed. Well done. Consuelo

Vames (4356) 2008-10-30 6:43

hi Ertugrul,very nice composition and beautiful waters!

ElAprendiz (7370) 2008-11-13 17:47

Hello Ertugrul:

Giving a review of your gallery, I find this shot, which I can not comment on it.

The prospect brings us to a sky threatening, within a balanced composition, and an excellent view.

There is a proper handling of the shadows and an appropriate frame. The glare of lights on water, are significant.
