My Last Post Photo

Photographer’s Note

This is my last post at TrekEarth, so I would like to use this opportunity to thanks everybody who has help me in learning art and science of photography, thru critique, comment, and workshop.

I admitt that I had learned a lot from all of you guys. I will not mention any specific name, since so many of you, and each of you has contributed significantly.

I am still and will continue to do photography, if you wanna view my recent works, you can visit me at TrekNature. At present, I just do not have luxury of time, so of these three excellent sites [TE, TL, and TN], I will only active at TrekNature.

By the way, this is a shot at caldera of Mt. Patuha, West Java, Indonesia.

Benyamin.
I am sorry to see you go, but I understand the demand that this site can make on a person. It seems as though every day millions more join to show their particular vision. I sometimes wonder what it is all for, but I realize that in this short time I have spent here I have made some great friends whose opinions I respect above all others concerning photography and life in general. With that said Benyamin I will stop by to see your pictures on the other trek site and I wish you the best of luck friend.

Now, I really like the green tones in this shot. The water shows such a beautiful color, it is almost startling. There are wonderful contrasts present of the dark rocks against the yellows and greens. The few dead branches in the midregion add some interest to separate the foreground from the background.

Goodbye again,
Chris.

Benyamin its sad to see you leave. I like this shot of yours and would have cropped a little off the bottom. That is my perspective viewpoint on this shot. I would have liked to see more details from the top side of the frame. Interesting colors there and in the whole photo itself. Thanks for sharing and all the best to you on the other site. Cheers!

Hi Ben,

You are a great contributer to TE and I can understand that it is hard to find the time to 'do' all three sites. I will follow you work at TN.

Cool and strange colors in this shot. The bottom part could be a picture from Mars. Looks kind of chemical, not a health place. TFS! ;)

take care,
Gilbert

Ben:
After many weeks being away from the Trek family due to personal reasons that I have now overcomed, I fond your note that you were posting your last photo on TrekEarth. I am sorry you took this decision to leave TrekEarth, I had the opportunity to learn a little bit of your country and a lot of photography. I liked very much your last shot at the caldera of Mt. Patuha, West Java, Indonesia

I have understanding that do not have the “luxury of time” to comply with the demand that these sites can make on a person, so you chose from the three sites TE, TL, and TN to active at TrekNature, I hope one day to see you back. I realize that you make great friends, some will continue visiting you others will have said farewell, I will start visiting you at TrekNature were you surely will have for me a lot to see and enjoy.
