The Waves are coming Photo

Photographer’s Note

I have written about the kish Island in some previous posted before,let me say it here again,sorry :

Kish Island is located 18 kilometres off the southern Iranian coasts in Persian Gulf.

With respect to the greenwich meridian however,it is situated between the 26°, 32° and 15° northern latitude and 53°, 54° and 30° eastern longitude.

The island lies 300 kilometers from Bandar Abbas, 400 kilometers from Bushehr,200 kilometers from the Emirate of Dubai,and 1,600 kilometers in land route,or 1,052 kilometers in air route,from Tehran.

According to the national geographical divisions,Kish is in the domain of the Lengeh District,Hormuzgan Province,but is run independently by the Kish Free Zone Organization (KFZO).

The relatively oval island has an area of over 90 square kilometers: 15 km long(east-west) and 7 km wide (north-south).

The Isaland has almost 21,000 inhabitants(2004) with an old root in a history more than 3000 years!

Welcome !

Great capture of a wild-looking place, Mohammad. You had good timing here to catch the wave crashing over the rock, it adds drama to the photo and makes the human figures seem very fragile. The island looks like a place of great natural beauty. Well done! Regards,
Ryno

Hi Mohammad,

Power of huge waves is exactly in your scene and their white foams are creating excellent feeling of them. I like powerful contrast between lands, waves. Visitors helping to us imagine the scale of your landscape view while lady is escaping and adds the life needed for your photo. Congratulations.

Friendly Regards,

Bonjour Mohammad,
la violence et le fracas des flots dans une photo bien travaillée. Le mouvement et la force y sont perceptibles.
Les personnages donnent l'échelle, interessant.
Excellente semaine à toi.
Daniel.

Hi Mohammad. Very nice photo of the interaction between humans and the powers of nature; the breaking wave and the poses of the people bring a moderate amount of suspense to the photo that is nice. I also enjoy the lighting in this one, and the way in which it brings forward textural details in the rocks and even in the water drizzle.

Hi Mohammad. Fine situation caught in the right moment, and with perfect technique - light and contrast is really great, and sharpness all over. Usually I'm not very keen on frames, but this one is very simple and effectful, I like it. Regards Jens

Mmm, pretty close to where I'll probably be going again. Maybe a ferry trip would be worth contemplating one day.

Nicely caught acivity here, though to me, this one looks a touch oversharpened.

isabela_sor (42435) 2007-01-24 3:31

Very nice capture of power of water... I like the way the water is crashing over the rocks there, near all these persons. I think the framing gives a good effect...
All the best

Hi Mohammad,
Thanks for coming back. The sea is furious and I think it's dangerous to be on the cliff because these huge waves. You captured them just at the decisive moment with great colors of these low light.

Hi Mohammad, my friend,

Great photograph and a great note to go with it.
such a small island nation with a 3000 year old history is a place worth the visit. Do enlighten us with some more captures from the region, particularly, the traditional lifestyles.
God Bless

The foam of the waves and people give much action to the image, that in addition, she is perfectly illuminated and it offers magnificent colors to us.
Nice work.

Hi Mohammad
Great capture of these exciting white water, and you positioned the people nicely in the frame to illustrate the size here. The timing is good and you've also got excellent details of the rock textures. Lovely work!

Angelillo (9065) 2007-01-24 16:58

Hi Mohammad,

It's a shot very plenty of life and movement. The force of the waves and the men as spectators, not scared, but curious. The light and the details on the rocks are too perfect. Thanks and best wishes,

Angel.

excellent shot and vey usful informative note.thanks-siamak

john_c (24635) 2007-01-25 12:29

Hi Mohammad,
You chose a superb perspective for this shot, with the foaming water in the foreground leading the eye upward to the rocky headland, the spray, and the clustered group of people. The drama of the breaking waves is palpable and you were wise to limit the proportion of sky here. The clarity of detail is impressive. Regards.
John

Photo65Net (43096) 2007-01-25 14:00

Hello Mohammad,
Wow, a perfect decisive moment picture !
Your POV is great, emphasizing the rocks, and of course the waves add a lot of graphics and dynamics.
Very nice,
JB.

Hanso2 (629) 2007-01-25 14:40

Hi Mohammad,

Very dynamic shot and yet the person standing their as cool he can be. The horizon aligned the composition, great shot.

Good Morning Mohammed,
I was undet the impression that you were not sending pictures to TE, and I am glad to find out that I was wrong. Here is one that catches the eye immediately with the crashing waves the wild coast and the tiny persons in their natural pose. I also like the zigzaging angle of the coast, look as if you placed yourself quite well. Perhaps ,I would ideally ask for some more room at the top.
I wish you an excellent Friday - Izzet

Salam Mohammad.
A management conference on the rocks; the place looks like " Bir Massoud" in Alexandria where I spent many hours looking the rough sea.
Very nice picture with interesting lateral lights.
Cheers.

Hi Mohammad, dynamic post here, the power of nature well illustrated, lools like someone was running away trying to escape the splash, excellent framing, well done !

mortijo (12384) 2007-04-05 8:24

Excellent management of the available light. The angle of view is well chosen with the foam in the foreground leading us up to the breaking wave. The group of persons allow us to see the scale of the landscape.

faubry (32415) 2007-05-26 3:56

Hello Mohammed,
Yikes someone should tell them not to stand too close to the edge! :o) Specatular photo, I love the sea myself. The waves are beautiful, the people there give a great perspective to the size of the surf. TFS

Very successful seascape.
Exposure is short enough to freeze splash of the water. It's good that you also included some people - that gives an idea about size of these waves.
Well managed exposure - brightest parts of the photo are not completely over-exposed.
