33000 ft. above the ground Photo

Photographer’s Note

Although I'm not really satisfied with the quality, I wanted to post this picture from Turkey since a while to add one more country on my TE map ;)

I was trying (unsuccessfully!) to accurately locate this area on google earth but as there are no real significant features, it is almost impossible.
Nevertheless, it is situated at about 30 kms from
Pertek village...

Because my camera was inside my luggage, I had to borrow the one from Laurent who has it always around!

ISO 400
Focal length 70mm

Hi Marilyn,
So you have no other photos of Turkey ? The mountains of the east part of Turkey looks splendid with your high POV.
Congrats and enjoy your day,
Zeynep

Hi Marilyn!

Fantastic aereal view, fantastic textures! I would prefer it a little bit darker and with a slight increase of contrast, but still, it's impressive! Congratulations!@

Bonsoir Marilyn,

Impressionnante vue d'avion sur ces reliefs. Les routes se perdent dans un tel paysage. Effectivement pas facile de localiser ce détail sur Google Earth. Je me suis laisser aller à un petit WS, j'espère que ça te plaira. Photo intéressante, merci Marilyn.

Avec toutes mes amitiés et à bientôt,

Jean-Charles

The effect is very sculptural, Marilyn and the monochrome look works just fine. It gives a great sense of a mountainous and desolate place. regards Kevin

Salut Mrs Lyn,
Considérant la petite taille de ce hublot et son manque de propreté, tu t'en es bien tirée avec une vue bien graphique de ces collines qui s'étagent....

Bonsoir Marilyn
Il a surement fallu pas mal de temps pour sculpter d'une telle façon ce décor!!
Une très belle netteté malgré les conditions de prise de vue pour une photo avec un bel impact!!
Amicalement

It is interesting as it gives a general view of that landscape, and even as an artistic photo it is not bad.
Thanks for sharing

Bonjour Marilyn

A good aerial shot of the rugged landscape of Turkey. Excellent sharpness, considering this was shot from inside a plane. Bon weekend!

belido (16727) 2009-01-16 17:17

Bonjour Marilyn,

very beautiful natural formation. Nothing better than this pov for a better idea of the land. The quality is not bad as you think, I just think the blues were too much but It's easy to fix it in PS. I've tried that and posted it in the ws. I hope you like my version...but the photo is really good, I like it!
Regards,
Carlos

Hi Marilyn, I love the way you have got this airplane shot so nicely. the shades and the hues are superb. There's a lovely pastel feel to this composition

jlbrthnn (38667) 2009-01-17 3:42

Bonjour Marilyn,
Le relief ne se prête guère à un atterrissage forcé :) C'est beau et spectaculaire, tu as choisi un bon point de vue :) Un bon travail avec une curieuse lumière bleutée, pas désagréable.
Bonne journée et bon week-end
Amicalement
Joël

bonjour Marilyn

Nowadays I always carry a camera into the plane. Just last week, there was a beautiful face in the place, the air hostess and I was very tempted to shoot her but decided not to waste my time, instead I shot everything I saw outside the cabin window. I like the aerial shots, although most times the color tone appear faded.

I like the jagged look of this landscape and it is something that I do not find in Borneo where everything is covered by rainforests.

Greetings from the Rainforests

Salut Marilyn,
Je la trouve une photo très achevé, sauf, peut-être, pour les couleurs, qui probablement sont très naturelles. Les montagnes font un motif graphique très intéressant. As-tu essayé une version en noir & blanc?
Amicalement, José.

maloutim (4007) 2009-05-16 3:16

Bonjour Marilyn!
J'aime beaucoup la formation de ces montagnes!
Franchement, pour avoir été prises de si haut, la qualité n'est pas mauvaise du tout, et on y devine même les sentiers de montagne! Ce n'est pas non plus trop mal d'avoir pu les situer à 30km près!
Merci du partage!
Amicalement.
Marie Louise.
