dont let the sun go down Photo

Photographer’s Note

I can't light no more of your darkness
All my pictures seem to fade to black and white
I'm growing tired and time stands still before me
Frozen here on the ladder of my life
Too late to save myself from falling
I took a chance and changed your way of life
But you misread my meaning when I met you
Closed the door and left me blinded by the light
Don't let the sun go down on me
Although I search myself, it's always someone else I see
I'd just allow a fragment of your life to wander free
But losing everything is like the sun going down on me...

(Elton John)

...taken on a boat pulling a parasail near karavas...

(denizkızı otel açıklarında, parasail yapılan bir teknede çekildi)

...you may check the workshop to see the original colours and the happy parasailers :D...

mükemmel bir açı..tonlarda hem yumuşak geçişler var ve netlik harika..elinize sağlık..belki figürün önünden çekilmil ve yüzüne haif ışık vurmuş bi versiyonu da hoş olabilir..

selamlar, fatma

Hi Korkut,
This is a really neat image. A perfect situation for a B&W shot,with those geometric forms and contrasted original colors. The angle is well chose as it avoids showing a flat image. You brought good dynamic this way. Lovely backlight effect and good sharpness overall. Greeeeat one ;)

Hello Korkut,
Excellent graphic composition and B&W presentation from a sophisticated POV.

Hi Korkut,
The contrasts arewonderful. Transparencies but also beautiful nuances in dark tints. I remain fascinated by this immense dome which opens. I have the impression that it is over my head.
A great shot, congratulations !
Have a nice day
Diane

Merhaba Korkut.

Excellent, excellent picture. The contrasts are...impressive!

My compliments!

Hello Korkut,
This is a wonderfully graphic image, with a beautiful POV and good choice of black&white. Greetings, Dasha

Wanda1 (10923) 2009-09-25 1:59

Hi Korkut,
You always know how to find creative points of view and here is a great example of that. I love the way the sun shines brightly through the parachute and that the parachute and person fill the entire frame just about completely. Nice!
Regards
Wanda

Hi Korkut,

I wonder what was your position for shooting this :)) A clever angle and point of view and excellent exposure management. The sepia always goes very well in your photos. Well done!

Hello Korkut,

congratulations for the idea,
beautiful picture in b&w, very well framed,
accompanied with beautiful song.

Have a nice weekend,
johannita

feather (49858) 2009-09-25 8:36

Who but you would turn something so colourful into sepia. AND it works! The light shining through the parachure is fantastic and there are some great shadows which we would miss on the colour. The tight cropping on the man is just right. Fun WSs too!
Kath

anokutan (7547) 2009-09-25 8:58

Korkut bey merhaba,
Muhteşem bir iş çıkarmışsınız yine.Kompozisyon süper.Işık,netlik ve bakışaçınız olağanüstü güzel.

tober (3946) 2009-09-25 9:06

Girne sözcüğüyle paraşüt fotoğrafını yan yana görünce 25 yıl aradan sonra Kıbrıs'a üçüncü çıkarmayı yapıyorsunuz zannettim :)

Şaka bir yana, göze hoş gelen estetik bir kare olmuş. Siyah-beyaz olmasına rağmen.

Tebrikler.

patdeph (17748) 2009-09-25 10:00

merhaba Korkut
there is a splendid luminosity in this picture,due to the light through the parachute,giving an wonderful transparency effect,and a superb contrast with the black silhouette of the man!This is also superbly framed!Really excellent!

dip (12552) 2009-09-25 10:04

Hi Korkut,
what a POV!
excellent captured,
great lighting and contrast,

Merhaba Korkut,

Great composition. Good management of light. I like the excellent graphism and the strong silhouettes. B&W is a best choice here.

Merhaba Korkut
I guess it looks better so than in color, anyway the spreading balloon against the silhouette is visually impacting
have a nice day JY

Hello Korkut.
An excellent b&w, in not easy light conditions.
Great perspective from an unusual and well-chosen pov.
Best regards.

burGu (4536) 2009-09-26 5:25

Millet orada ağustos sıcağında mayosunu giymiş, deniz-kum-güneş takılırken, rengarenk paraşütlerin cazibesiyle bir yaz aktivitesi yaparken sen fotoğraf makinanı alıp "bunu nereden kessem, sb yapsam, sonra bir de çikolata tonlarıyla romantinleştirsem" dedin di mi? Şarkıyı söylemiyorum bile, kesin çekerken aklına gelmiştir o da... Sonra bir de "kurudum, bittim, tükendim" diyorsun... Daha ne olacak ayol!

Cretense (55848) 2009-09-26 7:56

Geia sou, big bro!

This time you chose to look the other way around, upwards, but still the photo has your signature! Excellent POV, great composition and framing, perfect light management, and touching note, as always!

Your giritli bro!

syd1946 (17869) 2009-09-26 9:51

I like how you play with light,the shadows and most of all with form using the human body.Very effective and well seen file Korkut!
Enjoy your weekend,

Günaydın sevgili Korkut,
287 kişi bakmış ben görmemişim, ne ayıp !!
Senin parkurun belli artık, savaş sonrası dönemin rus fotoğrafçıları hep böylesi grafik ağırlıklı siyah beyazlar yaratırlardı. Lew Poliakow filan gibi.
Aynı lezzeti alıyorum bu siyah beyaz işlerinden.
Tebrikler
Selam ve sevgiler,
MESUT ILGIM

Bonjour, cher Korkut,
Vous savez utiliser avec talent des moments de la vie quotidienne. Une image très réussie formant une superbe corolle.
Le choix du noir et blanc est très bien vu ici.
Amitiés.
Philippe

riclopes (32971) 2009-10-02 2:53

Funny WSs :) I thought I was going to see this one in colors...I don't know how but you always convince me with your monochromatic tones. And you always find the right notes and titles. You sure have the talent for this stuff.
Hugs to you and kisses to Kuzey,
ric

jafadabret (39485) 2009-10-07 6:50

Bonjour Korkut.
Cette photo est très réussie. J'aime la composition avec l'homme en contre-plongée et en silhouette devant la toile du parachute qui brille sous la lumière.
Amicalement
Jacques

marietom (31854) 2009-10-07 13:45

hello Korkut,

Jolie scène, joli noir et blanc aussi. Les contrastes sont très beaux.
Bonne soirée
Marie

avene (10944) 2009-10-07 13:57

something else that I've missed :) love the unusual point of view here, it makes all the difference from "postcard-ish" photo to "art-sy" stuff. and I certainly prefer the B&W version. fascinating stuff, K., makes me want to find my camera under all that pile of dust :P

regards,
K.

ninaL (19456) 2009-10-11 4:56

Wow !
Impressive composition, very good quality, and very nice

Bravo again, Korkut.

wonderfull perspective and interesting light and shades.
Congratulmations

Angshu (33607) 2009-10-19 20:48

Hello Korkut
Normally I wouldn't think of such shots without colours because of the intense colours of the parasial….but you convinced e here that duotone can be even more effective...and then of course your POV which makes it unique, not the least the title as well. You're a master my friend!
Best Regards
Angshu

giorgimer (21070) 2009-10-21 0:51

Hi Korkut,

very good idea, nice use of BW, excellent POV

Waylim (10741) 2009-10-22 11:26

Hi Korkut,
One of the very creative POV and visually very attrative and gives such a strong impact. Black and white may just be the best way to present it. I allow us to focus on the shape and composition of it rather than being distracted by the colors. Great details and well managed light from bright white to the dark shadow yet there is really good variation of shade in the shadow. Excellent photo, one of the very creative one I've seen in a while. My complements. Have a great day.
Way

skippy007 (6971) 2009-10-24 5:28

Hello Korkut, Colours in the WS version are fantastic but I feel at times they are distracting, here in BW there are no such distractions, the focus is on the silhouette & the para sail, an excellent choice. Love the low POV & Light, enhanced by Elton John's words.
Well done
Santo

didemay (2431) 2009-10-27 1:25

Cok guzel. Sag ust ve sol altta kadrajda nefes alan bosluklar, sagdaki siluet, parasut tonlarindaki gecisler, sepia tonu.. kisaca cok guzel.

Beautiful tones - just for that alone this image excites me but then as a bonus the perspective puts us right in there in the experience - wonderful!
