Driving or flying?, a photo from Potosi, South

Photographer's Note

Driving early in the morning on the Salar is also impressive... The soft morning luminosity add to the mystery of the place but, the Salar is the Salar: a pure bewitchement!

Comments and impressions are welcome!

Is it real? I can believe it. What a wonderful place you bring us here and in what a superb composition. Nothing could be better. Congratulations.

I am agree with Paolo about the beauty of picture.. In a pastel colors landscape the man arrives with his mechanical monster to break the dreaming atmosphere.

Yves,
Astonishing image. The better you look the more witchcraft you presume. Very good use of the irreal colours. Bravo. CU, Erik

WOW Yves... impressive. This is the perfect harmony between man and nature. The light and colours are perfect, almost a watercolour or pastel painting.

Regards,

Cette photo nous transporte dans un autre monde, un monde éthéré comme l’image qu’on se fait du paradis. On a l’impression que ces gens arrivent au paradis en voiture. Époustouflant!

Superb one Yves. But I'm not able to imagine where the car is driven. is on a angle deep water surrounded by the cloud's reflection?

themieky (153) 2006-05-19 9:29

Wow, It's like driving in a dream. I can't believe a place like this actually exists! Stunning shot, Yves!

lara (915) 2006-05-19 10:22

What a place and what great photos you took there, Yves!!!! I just found out about it today and I saw all of your pics taken there. GREAT job!!!
Respect,
Lara :)

Dari (24) 2006-05-21 23:06

Yves, it is wondeful picture here, very mystic and very real, very gentle and soft and perfect done. One of outstanding photos.
With respect, Daria

stevep (556) 2006-06-20 8:33

This is really a great photo, without the jeep I would have thought you captured heaven!

One minor critique though; I feel the tinge of blue sky in the top left corner keeps drawing my eye away - I think it would have been better to crop just a little off the top just below the blue to create more continuity in the photo.

Regardless, this really is a stellar picture.

ruisc_pt (11398) 2006-10-24 5:41

Astonishing exposure. Good shot

Albrecht (11283) 2007-03-11 14:42

Woaaa, wonderfull photo...almost Unreal :-)

loneroc (1233) 2007-04-25 10:10

Hi Yves,

What a great shot! It looks unreal. Everything in the photo works, only thing that I'd change is the frames. Somehow they are distracting this great shot.
Cheers!

Speedie (118) 2007-10-02 18:06

Vraiment magnifique cette prise de vue! Les couleurs sont superbes et on flotte en regardant ta photo à faire rêver! Je me demande ce que ça aurait pu avoir l'air une personne seule photographiée au même endroit?
Bravo
Caroline

totoamoto (1107) 2008-03-17 8:46

Salut Yves..
Impressionnant.; Tu as bien raison..
Elle est terrible cette photo..
Elle roule dans les airs.. tel un film de science fiction..
Mais plus que le reflet.. C'est cette lumière, ces nuages..qui rendent cette photo encore plus magique..
Félicitation.;
Cyril

Asiulus (1184) 2009-03-21 5:03

I have nothing wise to say, so let's just conclude: I like this not complicated but very nicely organized composition.

gut31 (144) 2009-08-22 9:23

C est genial comme photo.... une voiture qui roule sur la mer!! c etait l hiver avec un peu d eau dans le salar ??? Je connais un peu les salars mais chiliens et argentins en plein ete donc sans eau.....
