Quite Close..., a photo from Antalya, Mediterranean

Photographer's Note

When visiting the sunken city on Kekova island, you should go on board the excursion boats quiete early in morning. Specially in summer, during Meltemi, wind blows from west with up to 8 Bft; thus the underwater part can't be seen clearly.

Sometimes, I accompany my turkish friends on their boats 'enjoying tourism' ... :-))

This guy on the boat behind us, seems to be inspired from the Titanic movie...

They always drive that close, really interesting to watch the passengers!

Calm weather conditions

Hi Knut,
I like this close-up, dynamic shot. Great clarity and a fine play of shadow effects on the water. I like the background terrain of rocky hillside, and how the people in the scene enhance. Well captured, Knut. Wish I was there.

I guess it's OK as long as you know what you're doing, looks a bit hairy. Good sharp shot from a difficulat PoV.

This one really has sense of speed. Titanic imitation is already a sort of cliche, but I would not dare to do that on such a rocky ride.
Interesting shore with Rocks and bushes alternating.

Very nice shot. Sharp and with vivid colors. When I see a guy like that in the bows I always feel an urge to accelerate to see him loose his balance.

Great detail in this shot. That Movie has got everyone standing on the "forecastle" for ships and boats everywhere!

Comme dans le Titanic, sauf que le personnage est moins attrayant que la fille du film...
J'aime beaucoup le cadrage qui répercute la puissance du bateau qui entre bien dans la vague.
Bonne lumière et couleurs
