Anatolia traffic jam Photo

Photographer’s Note

The name Anatolia comes from the Greek Aνατολή (anatolí) meaning the "East" or more literal 'sunrise'.

Usual traffic jam while travelling through this vaste and seldom visited region.

Great shot, Luca. Excellent dof, great colour pattern and a wonderfully filled frame with that long, long road leading all the way up to the top of the picture.

Buona giornata Luca

Luca
Une superbe photo! La composition est fantastique avec cette route qui semble ne jamais devoir s'arrêter. L'homme, l'échine un peu courbée, et les moutons, la tête levée pour constater tout le chemin qu'il leur reste à faire, rendent cette image vraiment très "parlante".
Amicalement

La classe non e' acqua !
Tra i thumbnail di questa mattina, questo spiccava.
Mi piace la strada sfocata che continua all'infinito in un paesaggio fatto di nulla.
Molto ben composta, come sempre d'altra parte
ciao Stefano

Hi Luca,

Good POV and framing. The sheeps walking in front of sheperd are so pretty...

Congrats nice composition and framing...Maybe you try the aperture around 5.6 for the front region of the sheep...

Ciao Luca,

pecore e pastore mi sembrano disposte ad arte per permetterti di realizzare questa bella immagine, efficace la profondità di campo corta, bella la prospettiva della strada sullo sfondo.

Bravo!

Ciao Luca

I can't believe that I've never saw your gallery before today ! You have some excellent shots and many great portraits. A pleasure to look at. Sure I will come back ;o)

This one is marvelous. The picture tells a story that you have retranscribed in a very good way.
The quality is perfect, with a fabulous light, and a pertinent choice of aperture to get this perfect blurred background.
Compliments.

Regards
Karine

Hello Luca,

This is an awesome situation!
In particular I admire the posture of the shepherd, that says everything about his attitude and view on life hehehe...
The tele compression adds 3D feeling, personally I'd try a step to the right to change lines in composition a tad!

Greetings,
Pablo -

You're absolutely right, Luca!
You have to go on the other way of the road to overtake.
Good sharpness on the subject, and a low DOF helps focusing on the sherpherd and his flock

Hi Luca!

The striking POV is, in same time, funny and poetic. The soft colors in the blurred background and the empty road climbing suddenly create a special athmosphere. And your note that mention the "usual traffic jam" makes me smile as well.
Bravo!

Marine
