Nothing more, nothing less Photo

Photographer’s Note

Few elements, few colours, few light;
the sea, the islands (Tinetto, Tino and Palmaria) and some clouds.

Nothing more, nothing less.

Ligurian minimalism

Ciao Paolo,
luce fantastica! Il contrasto tra il blu scuro del mare serale e l'arancio del tramonto e' davvero bellissimo, e viene riproposto al contrario con le nuvole arancio-rosa e il cielo blu. Le isole danno alla composizione l'equilibrio necessario. Davvero bella foto, complimenti!

Bonjour, mon ami Paolo,
Une photo simple d'apparence, mais quelle efficacité ! Pas besoin de phraséologie pour admirer cette superbe composition.
Tout est exprimé dans cette composition.
Amitiés.

Personally I would have preferred it without the second island at the edge of the frame, one was enough I think!
Seriously though, there wasn't much you could have done about that, except find another shooting position, by which time you might have missed the light.
The success of this shot is all down to the quality of the light, and the way you controlled it. Exposing for the sky and recording the islands as silhouettes was the way to go, and it's worked very well.
I like the restful simplicity of the composition. and the colours are great.
Good work.

Cheers,
Ben

Hi Paolo,

Very nice sunset. Good contrast between the dark blue sea and the hot colors of the sky. I like the island's silhouettes too.

Simple, minimal composition.
Very nice colors and nice division of the frame giving the sky so much presence.
Ive done a few photos with the minimal approach, different than this but this also appeals to me.

evanrizo (456) 2007-01-29 8:20

It does not need more, this is enough Paolo to make this photo very beautyful.
This frame and the compo makes the photo very impressive.
Thanks very much.

Good minimalism for the composition of this one, Paolo, and a pretty fantastic setting with the colors and light. Good atmosphere and a fine tribute to the powers of nature. I like the fluffy patterns of the orange-tinted clouds.

markstaples (15670) 2007-01-29 13:53

Very beautiful colours. Simple, but effective. I like the division of 2/3 sky, 1/3 sea. Very nice work Paolo.
Best wishes
Mark

Nulla di più e nulla di meno di una bella foto Paolo, solo all'apparenza è semplice in molti casi le foto che sembrano semplici in realtà sono le più complesse da eseguire bene, nel tuo caso il minimalismo ha pagato, fantascica luce e magici colori con l'arancio rossastro del tramonto che si insinua tra il blu del mare e del cielo, nuvole ed isole contribuiscoo a ravvivare una scena che sarebbe stata bella anche senza e che così è favolosa, Bravo, ciao Silvio

Muse (30585) 2007-01-29 14:33
