Keep Going, a photo from Arges, West

Photographer's Note

This picture is made on the way back from Sinaia (mountain resort in Bucegi Mountains on the Prahova River valley). I shot this thru the windscreen of my car. In this time we were moving fast on the road. It was realy hard for me to shot because my hands shaked, but in the end I think that I was lucky to obtain this image of an old man and his bike.

I used the 'cloudy weather' program to get a vivid orange/red and the exopsure was very short to eliminate the lights from the car. Allso the image is not post procesed or cropped (I used 16/9).

Hope that u enjoy this shot.
All the best, DANY

Frumos, Daniel! - o atmosfera deosebita; poetic, as zice.
Imi place mult combinatia rosu-negru, excelent cerul, apusul ala dramatic, minunate siluetele copacilor si cea a personajului; foarte buna incadrarea.
Bravo! bine lucrat (cu atat mai mult cu cat ma gandesc la conditiile in care ai facut fotografia).
Salutari.

frumos - sunt convinsa ca si realitatea a fost pe masura ... chiar daca tie ti-a fost putin greu atunci, a meritat

Dear Daniel, great shot, I´m really amazed how you could make this photo while driving - the composition is really, really great, I especially like that the old man is on the very margin of the photo. Felicitari, Johannes

Hi Rosca!
I really like this atmosphere, all this darkness and the lonely man riding his bike towards the sunset. Silhouettes are fantastic!I like the way he stands against the reddish light. Good work!

Hi Rosca,

Very nice .. the composition of the person with the sun is great .. the color is tremendous with the black .. if it was my image I would crop a bit of the darkest bit off the left .. but still very effective .. very nice.

take care,

John

Hello Rosca. A really interesting motive. The night comes. Only the red evening sky lit still another small part of the scene is to be seen a man with bicycle. The picture works somehow like a stage. Well seen and photographically exemplary realizes. Best regards, Wolfgang.

Hello Dany,

This is absolutely a daring image with the dark part to the left.
I like the pink colours to the right certainly with the silhouet of the old cyclist.
Very well composition and good presentation. TFS.

Have a nice weekend,
John.
