all together Photo

Photographer’s Note

Storm, sun and clouds on Suriname River’s muddy water. Suriname is under tropical weather zone as a part of Amazon Rain forest. No winter, no autumn even no spring. Only "summer". We have also four season but little different;

Long rainy season
Little rainy season
Much rainy season
Short rainy season

That’s why you can see a powerful rain then shining sun after few ten minutes or some times few hours later. Some times you can see “all together”

My first thought was for shooting clouds and sun together in this scene. This is the reason why I used vertical shooting mode.

Ouaou ! Beautiful colors, great sky.
This composition with just a part of the sun is a very good idea.
Merveilleux !

Hola Kilic:
Muy buena captura de un cielo espectacular. Hermosos colores en las nubes. En una pena que el agua no tenga una tonalidad gris o celeste, acorde con el cielo. Muy bien.
Saludos.

Excellent vivid colors! And nice clouds you had there.

Good job!

Hi Ertugrul,
What a mighty climate you have... In such moody and even fierce conditions, people are bound to stay silent and wait for it to fall a bit less harsh...
It's really a good management of light, as far as I can figure, having never dealt with such weather! In the mountain we have storms, but that kind wouldn't allow any shot. This is awesome.
Thanks, take care F'

Merhaba Ertuğrul...
Harika bir bakış açısı ve müthiş bir derinlik... Çamurlu nehrin rengi ile inanılmaz güzellikteki gökyüzü'nün mavi tonları güzel bir karşıtlık oluşturmuş... Ayrıca ufuk çizgisindeki ağaçların silüeti kompozisyona güç katmış...
Ellerinize sağlık...
Sağlıcakla kalın..
Salim.

Hi Ertugrul,

Impressive resistances, the force of the sky is fantastic, the clouds create an interesting duel against the sea, you treated the frontal light well, is difficult, but I believe that the horizontal format had been better, anyway a good work.

Regards

José

Scharan (13955) 2006-09-10 22:01

Olá Ertugrul
Linda e muito interessante esta foto pelo seu contraste de cores; o céu enfeitado de nuvens iluminadas que parecem que vão "despencar" num mar de chocolate...parabéns!!!
Grande abraço,
Vera.

josepmarin (34081) 2006-09-11 4:42

Merhaba, Ertugrul,
this wonderful sky of great visual impact, with enormous clouds, it creates a fantastic composition with a great resistance with waters of the river of dark and brown color.
The silhouette of the border in backlighting divides with much elegance both elements.
Magnificent photo!
Regards,
Josep

prezntime (3945) 2006-09-11 6:53

Hello Ertugrul.
I'm very fond of the use of the overexposed sun at the top of the photo. It adds a wonderful dynamic element to the picture. The contrast between the brown water and the blue sky is fantastic.
Well done.
Chris
:) tomorrow.

Hi Ertugrul,

Wow! What an effect! Really - it feels the picture is fabulous. Like a painting. Congratulations!

Cheers

deblink (2548) 2006-09-23 17:09

Hi Ertugrul,
What a beautiful photo of some very angry clouds. It is no wonder the water is very muddy with all that rain, it would be forever flowing fast. Thank you for sharing.
Cheers,
Debbie.

Jaune (321) 2006-10-23 20:33

Hi Ertugrul,

Very Nice sky with colors spot from the sun. At first I thought that you sould have removed some water but after reading your notes it is appropriate.

thanks for sharing

Jaune

emjleclercq (14498) 2006-10-28 16:27

A really beautifull sky in your picture : the play of light and shadows on the clouds is wonderfull. But as far as the water is concerned, I will prefer my blue Atlantic Ocean of last summer rather than your brown Suriname river.

All the best,

Emmanuel

Merhaba Ertuğrul,
Ters ışığa rağmen bulutlar çok net ve güzel görünüyor.
Karşı kıyının karanlık görüntüsü de çok iyi bir derinlik sağlıyor.
Bu arada mevsim isimleri çok hoşuma gitti.
Selam ve sevgiler. Uğur

guillaumejm (30) 2006-11-01 17:29

hello again:
I guess better not to stay outside when the storm will be ther. Wonderful and power full colours. Light is perfectly managed.
Best regards

Hi Ertugrul
Great shot with well balanced light. The sun, although there, is not burning the picture.

the clouds are simply breath taking and amazing.
good choice of framing .

riclopes (33131) 2006-12-06 5:18

Olá Ertugrul, after a small visit to your previous posts, I fall again on your river. This shot against the sun has, again, a very nice dramatic effect. The lighting is marvellous and the vertical composition worked very well. Your humorous note made me laugh. Tfs,
Ricardo

kristofk (773) 2007-01-03 7:20

Hello,
what a storm is coming. The dark clouds and the sun still shining through the small opening above the shimmering river give a great feel to this photo. Very good.

Best regards Kristof

shirgold (2439) 2007-01-21 7:21

Hi Ertugrul,
Excellent capture of dramatic clouds, sun and water.
It is now snowing outside so the idea of summer, summer and summer sounds very tempting although it rains :-)

linask (2813) 2007-02-19 14:11

Very good exposure control for such difficult light condition - sun in the frame.
I like the contrast in the clouds from almost white to almost black.
Maybe there is too much water included in the frame, I would have cropped about half of it.

gunbud (28153) 2007-03-15 20:07

Hi Ertugrul,
Lovely look at the quickly changing weather with the sun doing battle with the clouds. Beautiful glow the sun in placing on the muddy waters of this wild tidal river.
Regards, Tom

OoHHHH!
Nothing to say about this picture apart from a trivial: OOOHHH!

Congratulations, Dario.

PS Sorry for the stupid comment, but I wanted to reward this picture without writing: "wonderful sky, well managed lighting, effective, sharp, bla, bla, bla".

guitianmiranda (3766) 2008-04-19 6:39

Really great picture of nature, the vertical POV gives to it a special dimension. Very, very good shot Ertugrul. Best regards.

The artist captured the mood of the landscape!
Hello Ertugrul, how are you?
I like very much the colours (natural, indeed), the rays of light getting into the scene and the powerful clouds. The vertical shooting mode was a great option! Thank you very much for sharing.

Greetings from Greece,
Athanasios.

Selamlah!!
This one is so beautiful that can not afford to miss!
A very difficult shot but you had managed brilliantly with the right angle on the exposure and focus!
very powerful sky with good depth to achieve the best result on the clouds formation and the sunlight!
a ture beauty of our mother nature!
many thanks for the sharing and take good care
warmest regards always
