bright red_boat St Barbara Photo

Photographer’s Note

* I have also photographed in the past this deep red boat with the name St Barbara. Look in my gallery.
here an other shot
I will report few for the life of St Barbara's

Saint Barbara,: known in the
Eastern Orthodox Church as the Great Martyr Barbara, was a Christian saint and martyr. Although there is no reference to her in the authentic early Christian writings, nor in the original recension of Saint Jerome's martyrology, veneration of her was common from the seventh century.
-According to the legendary accounts of her life that circulated from the seventh century, Barbara was the daughter of a rich Pagan named Dioscorus. She was carefully guarded by her father who kept her shut up in a tower in order to preserve her from the outside world. Having secretly become a Christian, she rejected an offer of marriage that she received through him. Before going on a journey, he commanded that a private bath-house be erected for her use near her dwelling, and during his absence Barbara had three windows put in it, as a symbol of the Holy Trinity, instead of the two originally intended. When her father returned, she acknowledged herself to be a Christian; upon this she was ill-treated by him and dragged before the prefect of the province, Martinianus, who had her cruelly tortured and finally condemned her to death by beheading. The father himself carried out the death-sentence, but in punishment for this he was struck by lightning on the way home and his body consumed.
-This summary omits picturesque details found in some versions. These recount that, when her father discovered that she was a Christian, he wanted to kill her, but her prayers created an opening in the tower wall and she escaped. Pursued by her father and guards, she hid in a gorge in the mountains. She stayed hidden here until a shepherd betrayed her. As legend has it, the shepherd was transformed into a marble statue and his herd into grasshoppers. When tortured, Barbara held true to her faith. During the night, the dark prison was bathed in light and new miracles occurred. Every morning her wounds were healed. Torches that were to be used to burn her went out as soon as they came near her. According to one version, she died on 4 December 306 in her native Nicomedia, Bithynia, Asia Minor...etc,,,wikipedia

Bonjour Georgios,
J'aime bien les deux formats sous lesquels on decouvre cette barque au rouge éclatant!
Est-ce-que cette couleur représente un symbole?
La composition qui inclut ces branche d'arbre est tout à fait réussie.

Félicitations pour cette réussite.

Hi Georgios,
Very nice early evening side light here, its effect on warming the red structures of the boat is very pleasant.
Have a nice day JY

edal (6601) 2008-10-08 1:54

Kalimera, Yorgo!
Very beautiful sunset capture with the willows hanging as a natural frame. The inclusion if the "barbarian woman" saint is a good idea. It's difficult for me to decide wheather the main photo or the vertical frame ws is better - both have beauty of their own.
Friendly regards,
Anton -

Geia sou giorgo,
I like this boat:he has no antennas, no radars, he has only the color that his owner gave to him. A color so that he is king of the Pagasitikos kolfos.
Enlightened by the sun, framed by both tamarisks, he is really THE king.
Great shot !

Hello Georgios ,

I can't help noticing that shining red boat!
The warm light adds even more impact to the colour, and the distorted reflection gives a touch of abstraction...
Great colours and fine details, and the view is well framed by the foliage!

Greetings,

Tue (25608) 2008-10-10 4:04

Hi Georgios,
The light in this photo is really beautiful. The sun casts a beautiful warm light on the scene. It brings out the red of the boat really well and this is also nicely reflected in the water. Good natural framing by the trees. Thanks for sharing!

hi Georgios

Superb light! Very strong color tone of the light brings out the best of the boats in color contrast to the surrounding.

Nicely natural framed with branches although the boat is place at center. Great sharpness and details.

Georgios,
The lighting and colors are amazing here. The low angle lighting gives the scene direction and makes the spotlighted boat stand out against the darker background. The overhanging trees provide nice framing for the scene. The angle of the shot provides nice depth and direction.
TFS,
Asa

BWJ (1777) 2008-10-16 19:02

Hello Georgios,
What an interesting note. The red boat complements and contrasts nicely the varying shades of blue. The warm lighting reflections are lovely. I like the framing with with the trees. Great job.

Καλησπέρα φίλε μου Γεώργιε.
Μη νομίζεις ότι επειδή αργώ να σου γράψω κριτικές δεν βλέπω τις φωτογραφίες σου. Απλά τα ηλίθια προβλήματα με την δουλειά με απασχολούν αρκετά τώρα τελευταία.
Πανέμορφα, έντονα, κορεσμένα χρώματα και με το κόκκινο πραγματικά να κλέβει την παράσταση, γεμάτη απο ελληνικό φώς η φωτογραφία σου εντυπωσιάζει.
Σωστή επιλογή τα κλαδιά στο πρώτο πλάνο "καντράρουν¨ όμορφα το θέμα σου.
Χαιρετώ

perfect LIGHT for this deep red friend of yours! i must say, your shot does bring back memories from my own Greece trip last year. i remember, just how soothing this evening light was, especially if sitting at a table near the sea, steaming delicious sea-food dinner coming my way...

well done
