Sleepy Typhoon Shelter Photo

Photographer’s Note

Since you are getting bored with my pictures from Cambodia I thought I'd post something a bit different, some old stuff.

Causeway Bay Typhoon Shelter, Hong Kong Island, a place with plenty of boats - new and expensive yachts and old chinese junks... It is in the middle of modern Hong Kong, near the biggest shopping malls, but being there and looking at this old floating stuff you can feel a bit the spirit of old Hong Kong... which is disappearing quickly.

just before the sunset, wonerful golden light..

I am not bored... Why do you say that.. I only wish the other members would bore me like you do.. I guess it would be terrible since I would have to spensd 24 h a day on the damn computer..

Nice image, once again. A lovely daily life scene. you composed it very well with the reflection dividing the picture. Nice.

This would make both a great watercolour painting, and a great b&w. I may play with a ws & post here. Well done.

Very well composed shot. Great mix of boats and colors. I especially like how the woman in the boat is in the beautiful brown reflection. Also technically excellent shot – I´m glad you could do it with G3 ;-)
Very-very well done, Maciej.

Another lovely scene from you Maciek.

This is a beautiful collection of colours Maciek. I thought there were only fancy yachts out there but I'm glad I was wrong. Well done.

Great photo. I like the placement of the boat in the foreground, and the reflection on the water is superb. Very well done!

you need to consider a career change maciek

Great shot!

Very nice shot Maciek. This is not quite as up close and personal as many of your shots, it is always nice to see something different. Really stunning colors and a very good composition, the small boat is very well placed and the reflection of the building adds very nice lines. Must be the G3, this has the same supersaturated colors as so many of Fils shots, in fact from the thumbnail, I thought this was his. Good shot.

aferrao (1074) 2004-05-03 8:04

Good photos never get me bored.
This one is very well composed, but what I most like is those colours! They bring even more live to the scene!
Great shot!

Nice Maciek. Quite a peaceful scene you've captured here. I like the position of the small boat and the reflection. Nice background as well and I also like the fact that you choose not to include any sky here. Good work.

Superb reflections gilded in water in this multicoloured image. The character in his boat, fills the foreground well, and the colors are bright.
Quite simply Bravo, congratulation.

spence (1679) 2004-05-03 9:17

PechePassion (483) 2004-05-03 10:49

Ennuyeux ? oh que non pas avec des photos de cette qualité qui frole encore une fois la perfection.
Superbe composition aussi en couleur qu'en détails.
Bravo encore une fois !

ydavid (294) 2004-05-03 11:29

Excellent photo! Very colorful. The brown reflection and the brown boat and the brown coat make an interesting composition.

Ebbe (9571) 2004-05-03 12:52

Lovely reflections in the water and the girl as a human element and foreground makes the picture so much better than without.

avigur_11 (21271) 2004-05-03 15:39

This is agreat capture, Maciek, with excellent colors and wonderful sharpness. I like theway you have created a frame by the boats in the upper part. The frameless lower part is ballanced by the boat. Verynice reflection, amazing shot.

manny (21378) 2004-05-04 6:48

Maciek, this is very very good! I lke it a lot.

Colors are very warm. Reflection is very eye-catching! The framing is fabulous with the division of the frame into orange and blue. Very well-seen.

eleparc (24059) 2004-05-04 19:23

who said was bored??? are you fishing for compliments Maciek? lol i love your dump shots! i love the vivid contrasts in this shot! There is an impressive clarity of the various colors, red, blue, green, yellow! they are all so pure and so clear! how did you manage that? digital or ekta or velvia slide? am really impressed by the sheer quality of this print! Also a great composition with an almost empty space in the middle. all your boats are on the sides of the image, but the water reflections become a real subject in this shot! bravo! and back to the dumps anytime! ;-)

points tomorrow

dominique (11403) 2004-05-21 14:34

Very beautiful photograph framing is really interesting, all is good color has this superb reflection, beautiful composition.

kaychambers (1196) 2004-06-20 22:11
