Burning sky, a photo from Fyn, East

Photographer's Note

I was heading westbound in a car when a speaker on the radio told the sky was turning red. Looking backward to the east I realized it was time to get the camera ready.

Simply WOW ... it seems so unreal. The straigt line between these 2 sky add a lot of interest. Colors are so great ! Nothing else to say ... you probably critic yourself better than I am ;)

I like very much the contrast between snow and red clouds, the sillouette of the trees joins heaven with earth, very beautiful compositon, perhaps a blue tona gradation on snow would be perfect, congratulations!

Nature, the unsurpassable artist at work here. You have done a good job in capturing this poignant moment, Jeppe. Thanks for sharing.

bantonbuju (51815) 2006-01-29 13:17

hi jeppe,
this sky is irresistable, no wonder why you left the car (heading the wrong direction :-))
great moment and the place, and you captured it so well;
best wishes,
j

Great colours, and nicely composed winter landscape. I like the way the line of clouds just clears the trees.

Hi Jeppe,
Splendid and decisive moment is a splendid high level capture and angle of view of thsi sunrising moment with a great melody composition of fine tone keyboards. Soft tones in your great quality post and final result. Nice combination of simphony tones in a great and simple composition like you do with your great signature. All the best to your life and also creative.

Have a nice day and life and I like allways your great work and composition.

Hi Jeppe,
I like very much the contrast between snow and red clouds, the sky is absolutely stunning through the fantastic colours. The silhouettes of the trees care for for a lovely composition.
Very good job!
John.

sleon (9402) 2006-01-29 13:52

Hi Jeppe
The colours here are fantastic. The strong horizontal line is certainly unusual and makes for a really eye-catching photo. I like the contrast between the warm sky colours and the cold landscape, and the trees are really sharp - we can see every single branch.
Regards, Susanna

Hi Jep

What a fine shot. I haven't see the sky so red before! Very nice composition with great colors. Well done.

bibiweb (8) 2006-01-29 16:11

Hi Jeppe,
Lucky you were listening to the radio and that you had your camera at hand! This sky is just amazing! It really looks as if it were catching fire. Thanks for sharing this with us.
Regards, Brigitte

alvaraalto (29884) 2006-01-29 17:38

Hi Jeppe,
Great advise of Danish radio and lucky you was so early on a Sunday morning in your car with a camera in the neighbourhood. And not to forget in one of these all Danish landscapes which are created for this overwhelming pictures. Even this winter with a lot of snow is helping.
Groet Rob

singuanti (15250) 2006-01-29 22:18

Hi Jeppe. Good grief, now that's a sunset! I would have to agree with the radio announcer about the sky being red. You found a superb vantage point to take it all in with the trees in the foreground. They seem to fit perfectly. Excellent sunset shot Jeppe!

weswang (18223) 2006-01-29 23:29

Hi Jeppe, A nice capture of the layers of the different colors and different contrast. A nice view of the winter wonderland.

cherryripe (21033) 2006-01-30 4:02

Hi Jeppe
What a great thing you were listening to the radio in such a pretty place. The sky is absolutely stunning. I like how the reddest part makes a line above the tallest trees. Great contrasts between the warm colours of the sky and the the cold scenery. The grainy texture reinforces the coldness.
Well seen
Regards Nikki

Emile (20352) 2006-01-30 9:44

Hola Jeppe.
This is an impressive shot of a beautiful sunset, amazing sky colours. There is a very good contrast of colours between the sky and the white snow. The trees silhouette give you a great perspective, good POV and composition, well done and TFS.

john_c (24666) 2006-01-30 10:49

Hi Jeppe,
Outstanding work. This resembles a painting where modern art has been blended with traditional. The overlay of fiery sky gives a surreal look. I love the simple black and white hues dominant in the main scene, with the distant tinge of pink in the sky. There will be many people glad that you stopped the car and turned around for this capture, Jeppe. First rate.
John

Fixfocus (9385) 2006-01-30 12:13

Hi Jeppe,
Lol, a reminder via the radio!
Indeed a superb sky and a good compo with the winter landscape below.Excellent colors and contrasts.
Greetings,
Hermann

jmdaoudal (82) 2006-01-30 12:36

This is a very special athmospheric event and I find an exceptionnal situation with the limit of the upper part of the sky and the lower one.
Great colors and light
Jean Michel

nwoehnl (122) 2006-01-30 14:10

Well, it sure paid off to have the radio turned on for this one, Jeppe. Excellent mood and amazing vivid colors in the sky, and a fine contrast with the moderate winter mood on the ground where the barren tree silhouettes make a good foreground interest.

alford (4001) 2006-01-30 20:45

Hi Jeppe! So did you take this while driving? It's unusual to have such different colors between the sky and the snow-covered ground. Very good catch! The leafless trees complete the photo! rgds!

aznegrao (10316) 2006-01-31 10:07

Excelent shot!!
O enquadramento, a luz que proporciona essas otimas cores, estão fantasticos.
Thank for sharing.

Hej Jeppe,
Sikke nogen vidunderlig himmel! Farverne er utrolig smukke her og kontrasten mellem dem og sneen i marken er også meget fint! Tak for dette syn!

Davs Jeppe
en helt glimrende bild. Tydligen så är radion på Fyn ett ganska användbart medium.
En fantastisk bild
Hälsningar
Kent

Zanni (6108) 2006-02-07 2:09

One of your masterpiece. Difficult shot, I think, due the light contrast between the upper and the lower part. The trees seem to avoid to touch the red sky because they are afraid of burning!

Kenny10pin (19301) 2006-02-08 20:46

magnificent sky here, I love the lines of seperation, really good timing too, well done

Vato_Law (12732) 2006-02-09 18:26

Hello Jeppe,
this tittle fits perfectly with the picture. The sky captured has amazing colours and gives a very special mood to the picture.
Well done.
Paulo

premels (2400) 2006-02-12 13:36

Incredible sky indeed Jeppe. I like very much the very fine tree silhouettes in the center of the picture. Very nice.

alekpet (4663) 2006-02-15 8:58

Wow!

Wonderful image Jeppe.
Not only because of the colour of the sky but also because of the wonderful sharp silhouettes of the trees. The only remark yould be that a little cropping at the top won't harm.

Aleks

capthaddock (28790) 2006-02-16 10:08

Hi Jeppe - knockout sunrise, the icy fields balance the buring sky perfectly, outstanding compo

Perfect.

lasscor (7640) 2006-04-02 7:27

Very beautiful composition. I like the contrast between the hot red sky and the cold blue land.

Congratulations,
Corinne

rabani (9645) 2006-04-10 2:08

I see two bands of colors and impression here. Red hot and burning on the sky but sombre and cool down below. You also equally divide the image to give fair distribution of contrast and colors. It is good sometimes to stop and look back seeing what you might have miss.
Regards
Rabani

Georges (11185) 2006-05-08 14:54

salut Jeppe.
Les couleurs ici sont tres attrayantes et cela ma fait beaucoup plaisir de revenir dans votre galerie.

BRAVO POUR CETTE PRISE.

pasternak (15185) 2006-05-22 4:07

Hi Jeppe,

I know I'm not the first to admire this shot, but as I went through your gallery, I saw this and I must say I was really amazed... This is incredible! Both the sky itself, which gives you this frame division simply naturally, and your composition, with these trees touching the edge of the clouds...

Thanks a lot for sharing!
Alexander
