Fire over the gulf Photo

Photographer’s Note

I took that image from the balcony of the villa that we rented some weeks ago in Sardinia.
The balcony watched to west, so every night we took an "aperitivo" looking at fantastic sunsets as that one. All the evenings there was a wonderful show!
The image is completely original; the city light are the ones of Olbia, that from few months was upgradated to Province capital status (Provincia di Olbia-Tempio Pausania).
We have the airport of Olbia-Costa Smeralda at less than 3 km from our, a small airporta that during the summer season is very crowded, with flight from North Italy and hundreds of small airplanes (Gullfstream and others), that transport billionairs from the whole Europe to the Costa Smeralda.

by the way....we went in Sardinia with the Ferry!

Ciao Maestro,
Aaaaahhhhhh, la Sardinia !
I like the good evening mood in this one, the red coloring on the clouds brings too the sea to light and allows the plane silhouette to detach itself well over the lighter color.
Boarding tomorrow evening in Savona, excitement rises :-))
Have a nice day,
Jean-Yves

Hi Paolo,

what awesome colors you got here! That sky is on fire. I agree with the others - the plane in the sky is a grteat addition to this photo.

aloyho (6109) 2005-08-29 9:25

Hi Paolo,
Such a fantastic scene, a real feast for the eyes. The plane adds even more drama. I love the lower portion of the mountains, water and the plants in the foreground. There are interesting tones and shapes. Excellent shot!! Regards.

Full fire in the sky, what a view P. And the plane as a perfect detail, all set in the effective frame. Good job.

Rinie_Hoff (9332) 2005-08-29 18:06

Hi Paolo, great colors! Very lucky with the airplane in the right place of the frame. The foru dots of light are very nice. You were also licky with the water in front, you got a great reflection because of that.

ajcsousa (1804) 2005-08-29 20:48

Gregtom (7119) 2005-08-31 5:57

Hello, Paolo! When I opened this picture I have noticed an unexpected element - the plane - which was not really recognizable on the thumbnail. It improves the composition by focusing an eye on itself. Color of Your image is also pretty and the atmosphere over the gulf is almost mystical...
regards,
Greg
