Photographer’s Note
Bohinjsko jezero (Lake Bohinj)
20 km from Bled
78 km from Ljubljana
After we finished chasing ducks in Bled we went to visit lake Bohinj, our largest permanent lake (lake Cerknica outgrows it during rainy season...like...right now). It is less popular than Bled, it does not have a castle nor island you can reach by foot in winter when lake freezes but of course it has a church...(on the shore). As Bled it is used for swimming in the summer and making babies in the spring...
One hour trip by car from Ljubljana but this was only fourth time I visited it. Yes, I know. You do not have to say it...The day was wonderful. It has been snowing for 2 days before it. First snow of this year. I was monitoring weather forecast and when the weatherman promised sun after the second day of snowing I said to my dearest: we must go make some...
photos (what else?... :)
Second and final postcard until I make some new...

zdravo jeri
before reading the location link, my first thought was: this must be somewhere in the chilean south... alas, wrong i was. one doesn't need to go to chile for such sights after all. ;)) heh, slovenia might be small, but it sure seems endowed with some prime real estate. and how on earth did austrians let you guys have this!? just kidding. love the sight!
your note: made me crack up ;))
good luck in making...

Hi Jeri,
Ah yes, I also wanted to mention Bohinj to you! The lake and the small villages around it with their small churches are majestic and Vogel offers a great variety of ski-runs.. These are my memories from Bohinj!! (:
The wide angle gives a fantastic view on the crystal clear lake and the snowy mountains. The sunny weather and the soft clous helped you to catch the feeling of the place. Excellent quality as always!
TFS!
Cheers,
Marci

Wow, Jeri,
a peppermint candy, fresh and crystal clear. As the lake, so is your photo. Phantastic quality. And you were lucky to have a sunny day to see the fresh snow. Here we always have clouds since two weeks.
Compliments, Chris

nice, very nice. I like a lot how the converging lines draw the eye into the photo, such a strong perspective always adds great 3D feel to the shot, I like that a lot. I also like Christian's comparison with pepperming candies :) the clarity is fantastic, hard to believe there's actually water in the foreground. picture perfect :)
best,

Jeri - this is beautiful. That cloud, the depth and the clarity. It easily can rival many of the "landscapers" on this site. I love watching your photography grow...and seeing you try many styles. All of which you are excelling at! I'm pleased to have been one of the ones to find you first ;) Kind Rgds, Leilani

Hello Jeri,
I've been to Slovenia only once and that was in 1989. I see that I've been missing much and should start making plans for a visit. This is a fantastic photograph with the wide-angle effect working very well. Calm water and low clouds complement the beautiful scenery nicely. Regards,

Hello Jeri,
This is just fabulous!
Excellent composition with 2/3 to the lake and 1/ 3 to heaven.
The POV chosen enhances the reflection of the mountains and the whole composition gained depth. Bella, pretty, good, congratulations.
Have a good week my dear friend.

I know, you are trying to make us jealous of places that are so unique in their beauty and your excellent way of bringing out that thing. Wonderful POV a great 2/3 frame giving depth and exquisite reflection. All in one!

Hi Jeri,
really, really great! The water seems so untouched, as though nobody ever had been swimming here before. A perfect winter landscape, you chose a great day for getting there, and the result... more than perfect!
Have a nice day,

Živ Đorgi. :D
Samo štirikrat v Bohinju? Ha. No saj jaz ne štejem, pa sem bil najbrž večkrat. Vsekakor pomoje najlepša in sveža lokacija v naši državi (ne da sem jih tolk videl mind you:). Ja čez fotko ni nič za rečt, odlična čistost, tenkočutne zmrzljive barve in perfetkna ostrina.
Ker sem se zavezal da odslej ne bom pisal samo pohval in bom tut mal bolj opažal fotografijo samo to da ne nadaljevat s trendom večanja okvirja in manjšanja slike, ker nočem gledat v razmerju 50:50, saj maš prelepe slike. :P
BTW. kako dosežeš to raven čistosti: je to kakšna oblika HDR-ja, ti zarad objektiva že v osnovi tako klarificirano da, filter al kakšen postopek v PS-ju? Al kombinacija vsega. :)
Živ.

The low clouds a plus to an already good shot.

Bonjour Jeri,
Never I would have recognized it, the Lake Bohinj! I bathed inside, it was also transparent but so warm! With this photo we would imagine at the end of the world. I believe that there, some slivovica is necessary after the bath! Colors have extraordinary tints, the movements brought by the reflections and the clouds are graceful as a dance.
The texture with stones is fantastic. Another photo of your gallery which goes in my favorite!
Brava!
Amicalement

are those two characters riding the cloud on the right hand side good fairies?
you almost would expect them in a wonderful place like this . I am not surprised God chose it for one of his favourite spots
the perspective and detail and teh perfection of the reflection are stupefying
one cannot move away form this paradise
glad you could enjoy it and delighted you decided to share it with us

Hi Jeri,
wonderful winter light, fascinating reflections and harmonious contrasts of the colors - this impression of the lake is another great pleasure for the eyes. You have been very lucky indeed with the weather and the light! My compliments for this beautiful composition, it was worth your effort. I also like your note!
Warm regards

dear Jeri,
the delicate surface of the water is impressive.
clear water shows us the bottom through transparent light,
and also reflects the sky and mountains above it into it.
those two views are mixed in vacant cold water, as a landscape.
but the double images really show us its invisible nature,
quite like our mind, our spiritual states and movements.
beautiful? clear? elegant? amazing?
each viewer sees it really as the mirror of himself or herself or itself.
and the water is watching us through this all function and progress too.
I feel that I was felt, it feel that I feel it,
yes the lights are playing between two, and making round trip joyfully.
after all clear air, big mountain, cold water, blue sky and bottom stones
give us the wonder playground.
fine feeling and comfortable sensation in this image derive
from the capricious and temperamental wind
blowing between two on this glass water face of the playground.
thank you, Akihisa

Hi Jeri,
it's fantastic work, and in my opinion, one of the best in your awesome gallery. The lighting is quite nice, but it's the combination of those suspended clouds and the stones in the lake that really do it for me. Your composition is fantastic as well.
All the best.

Good morning Jeri,
as i see unless of the interest daily snapshots you present us and great landscapes view as this and the previous one.I like the perspective and the depth of the scene as the sharp bottom of the lake.The reflections and the brilliant light create a perfect and dreamily shot.Well done.
Have a nice day,Danos

Hi Jeri,
from the two last uploads, I prefer this one (both are great though)...but, here it's the abstract mood you achieved that I love so much! It's simply beautiful.
p.s. ne brini za jezik, ja i mislim da bi svi trebalo da pisemo na engleskom, tako da svi razumeju...jedino sa mojim zemljacima nekako ne mogu engleski...zvuci mi previse 'hladno'
puno lepih pozdrava :)

Draga Jerice,
ovo nije samo srećan dan za fotografa da naleti na izuzetan prizor. Ovo je sve najbolje što iz fotografovog rada može da proizađe: jaka volja, sposobnost, refleksi, osećaj za scenu, za lepo i darežljivost da se podeli sa drugima. Bohinj i okolina su prelepi i svi to znamo, ali opet, volimo da nam ti to kažeš još jednom putem tvoje fotografije.
Deset poena za ovaj prizor, dva osmeha: jedan za Tebe i jedan za Sloveniju.
Srdačni pozdravi i najlepše želje,
Branko

hello Jeri
Not often we get to see Slovenia with such a fine bright scenery and yes, your title is very suitable.
Very refreshing to see such a crisp sky and crystal clear water from this low POV and your wide angle is really impressive choice to show everything in this shot.
Good depth and what a sky with those clouds and fog. Great work.

I like postcards Jeri. A lot! Hope you like them too. ;)
This photo (I also like to call them photos) is very good. That gentle fog hiding some of the landscape is a great element here. Probably it would be a boring photo without it. The rest is perfect too, the reflection, the foreground, the right composition. Like it a lot.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Tudi se mi zdi , da se jezero hoce izliti na desno (nisi poravnala horizontale?).

Absolutely great photo,it's going into my favorite pictures. What I like is your fine sense of humor and great stories.
