Grazing the earth Photo

Photographer’s Note

Moulnaga dunes

The desert is the palette
of your intimacy
you have just to stop
and breath,
alone with yourself,
the immensity
around and inside of you.

______________________________

"You can travel up and down
millions of kilometers in a life
without never grazing the surface of the places
neither to learn nothing from the people just grazed.
The sense of the trip consists of slowing down
and to listen whoever has a story to tell."

Very nice shot Luca. The light in the middle is just perfect. Very artistic. Perhaps it would have been nicer if you didn't take the upper right corner in the shot. Excellent note. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Luca,

Fantastic graphic effect and light. A very artistic shot, that brings the symbolic meaning of desert to life. The poetic note is top too.

Best Regards,

Flavia

Hello Luca. Interesting composition. Without any specific theme, this photo is very good. The tones of the image are great. Good idea.

The composition is so simple and beautiful. This is truly art. I love how the lightest part is in the middle just behind the first dune. The edges are all darker. Very nicely done Luca.
Regards,
Ryan

Fantastic.
The colours and tones are simply beautiful. To be able to notice and isolate these shapes demonstrates a poet's eye.
I like this very much.
Thanks
Brian

GREAT shot Luca;

Very well seen. I like the play of shadows, and the naturally occuring abstract formations. Really neat stuff!

Hello Luca. Beautiful light and graphism for an ever changing landscape. The lines are superb. A geometry lesson.

hi luca
sheer beauty, increadible how the nature composed ideal geometry while we humans only can imitate the thing...or record it, as you have done;
great study of the shapes of nature;
best wishes, j.

Hi Luca
I have been looking at this shot for a few minutes. The lines, the light and the shadows are all mesmerising. Good graphic effect and impressive connection of lines. Very interesting and dramatic. An excellent capture.

I didn't understand it first. After reading the note, I see it is an excellent shot.

Luca, not only many of your photos are outstanding, but also your comments stand out increadibly and I could not agree with your words more. That fantastic detail and lighting on dunes works so well for me and makes me wanting to go to desert again. THS. Lucie

What a beauty, Luca. First I thought it is a macro of modern architecture. But there seems no design better than the formation and colours of nature.
Great perspective and composition,
Nino

stefi (1147) 2006-08-29 16:25

Ciao Luca,
concordo pienamente con Gal, la tua è una lezione di geometria, ma anche di luce. Una composizione raffinata soo con poche linee e uno sguardo perfetto sui giochi di luce del deserto.
Ciao
Stefano

Bonjour Luca,

Elle est magnifique cette photo, d'une grande pureté avec des lignes graphique très épurées. Le jeu de lumière et de contrastes rend à merveille et donne beaucoup de relief à la composition. Bravo !

Stéphanie.

Wonderful graphical artistic composition.
Great pov, lines, light and shadows.

Nice work--the geometry is great, and i'm particularly fond of the darkest plane contrasting in direction with the rest as well. Thanks!

One of the most interesting and original dune shot I've seen for a while. The cropping and the close makes the compo mysterious, hard to understand at the first glance. Very well composed, to have a 100% natural graphic compo. Excellent.

Hi Luca

What a graze!
If this is not the proof for the beauty of our earth there is none!

TFS!!! :)

It can be anything else than the desert. You captured here the essence of shapes, unusual shapes for the desert.
Great job
