good morning Munnar Photo

Photographer’s Note

good morning Munnar
I don`t like guided tours but sometimes it`s neccessary to take part ,to have views and moments like this one.
From left to right:
2 swedish girls, about 20 years old, who stayed 20 of their 28 days in India at the beach.....
a guy from London, a couple from Ireland,both with Nikons and our guide from "Green View" guesthouse in Munnar.
We met at 4:30 am,had some tea and drove about 25 minutes with a 4wd and started climbing.After about 30 minutes we had the sunrise and a rest.
Then we climbed to the top at 2650 meters.

we need some model while taking photos against the sun.. and it is a nice feeling to be a witness of the new day with such a great scenery like here.. like the cloud sea and the bright sun ofcourse.. i wish the man in the middle wouldn't look at this side.. but it's a small detail in such a nice photo..
best wishes Andreas,

Hello Leo,
Superb handling of the light, the colours and the haze and clouds. The silhouettes of people watching the view or just taking pictures tell a story about tourism.
Regards,
Gert

Hi Andreas,
Great management of lighting in this contre-jour presentation!
The wide angle shot has produced a pleasing composition with a background out of this world!
An amazing outcome which deserves full merits!
Regards,

Francis Xavier

Bravo

Hallo Andreas,
ich liebe auch solche Szenen und ich stehe gerne früh auf um sowas zu fotografieren,
das Licht und die Farben sind klasse!
ich sehe dass die zwei Mädels fotografieren sich gegenseitig:)

a unique shot of sunrise.
good idea to add people for the difference.they give an interesting point and made more charming to this shot.
i like the touching of light to their silhouettes by still seeing some details and also the shadows give nice contrast to golden grass.good capture for compose their position to this beautiful image :)

REally a magic light, with the silouhettes and the sea of clouds.
Very good scene

Hello Andreas,
Are they on the top of the world? Amazing photo, amazing light. Congratulations!
Best regards, Vasilis.

Hallo Leo
Un cadrage osé avec le soleil en pleine face. C'est très réussi avec tous ces photographes.
Grüss
Christophe

Jeppo (12000) 2009-05-16 12:15

hallo Andreas,

gleiches Kommentar wie beim anderen Bild: das fruhe Aufstehen hat sich gelohnt!

was fuer eine Aussicht...und die Licht ist so stark und warm....es sieht sogar aus, ihr schwebet zwischen Himmel und Erde!

This is a fantastic shot! I totally love it. The brightness, warmth of color and light. The peeping mountain peaks with clouds all around and the magnificent fireball... too good.

In fact thanks for sharing such good Image of munnar, as this is totally a different side of the southernmost hill station in India, in God's Own Country.

cunejo200 (7199) 2009-05-16 12:38

Hi Leo,
It must be an amazing place, and to be right up there with the clouds must be incredible. Waking up early paid off, this is a superb photo. Regards. Danilo

Hi Leo
It's always a good idea to wake up early. This shot is a perfect example.
Great sunrise with perfect backlit people.
Bravo
Chris
PS: 20 days at the beach.... :-(

ophelcia (5492) 2009-05-16 15:19

20 days on the beach???
I would be travelling up and down India in this time;))))
Great pic, great morning mist, climbing was worth it!

Not many times we see a so good shot with a frontal sun. The light management is truly superb. Well done.
Antonio

Hi Leo,
Gutes Gegenlichtbild. Ja, ja, aber man kann die "Swedish Girls" nicht erkennen ;o))
Schöne Grüsse
Marc

bukitgolfb301 (4805) 2009-05-17 2:42

Hello my dear LEO

Great photo!
I think the shutting condition was terribly bad. But no freer and fine result.
Congratulation on your great job !

Thanks for sharing and best regards

Takero

riclopes (33069) 2009-05-17 3:07

I totally agree with you, Leo. And would be here with you if I didn't find an easy way of getting here on my own. The feeling of being above the clouds is fantastic here. And the early morning mood is great also. Superb shot against the sun.
rgds,

Gorgeous, absolutely gorgeous. I know how sometimes fellow photographers / travellers can turn out to be perfect models! This picture wouldn't have looked the same without the characters in the frame.

Hi Andreas,

rays of sun over clouds and summits are wonderful. I like colors and composition of this shot.

best regards,

npecanhuk (14324) 2009-05-17 7:18

Hello Leo!
Not much your style, but the visual impact of the well managed harsh conditions is the real highlight in this impressively attractive image! A moment I would love to have shared with those people! TFS - congratulations!
Warmest regards,
Have a great sunday!

Hello Leo
Magnifique contre-jour bénéficiant d'une très belle lumière. J'aime beaucoup.

bobocortis (14144) 2009-05-17 11:01

Hello Andreas.
Absolutely a fantastic shot.
The backlight exalts the human figures.
The warm light is excellent.
Best regards.
Bobo.

hi andreas,

Once more you won the challenge managing to take a picture facing the light, Light management, contrast, colors and definition are simply superb.

Hello Leo,
Fantastic photo!...like a magic photo,somewhere at the edge of the world.I admire this work!

best wishes,
Thomas

gneufeld (15223) 2009-05-17 19:17

Hello Leo,
A stunning early morning shot - I really like the people in the foreground to add depth and perspective to this one. Well seen and TFS. Gerald

greg (2835) 2009-05-18 4:25

Seems to me it's the Swedish girls there who are the ones who understand the moment. Wisdom isn't always with the camera-toting independent travellers...

patdeph (18106) 2009-05-18 9:36

hello Andreas
I guess that the view is superb,but what could I say about the light?It's somptuous,gving so fantastic warm colours,and very long shadows!The back light has done that the people appears as black silhouettes,and it's very beautiful in these golden colours!I like how they are standing out the misty background!A great picture!
Regards
Pascale

mjdundee (3518) 2009-05-18 12:51

Hi Andreas,
Good memories are second only to best friends.
Klasse Stimmungsbild. Meist kann das der unbeteiligte Beobachter bei solchen Themen nicht nachvollziehen, aber dank deiner note ist es fast so, als wäre manselbst auch drt gewesen.
Klasse gemacht - übirigens Nikon. Die 7 gibts ab Mittwoch auch bei Pentax Nennt sich K 7 und kommt mit einer abgedichteten Kit Linse. Ich schätze die würde genau zu dir passen '(zu mir auch)
Grusss,
Thomas

Emile (20041) 2009-05-18 22:11

Hola Leo.
It was worthwhile to climb 2650 meters to the top of the mountain to capture this amazing shot and then to catch one of the most difficult photos with the sun against your camera. Very good management of light, nice colors and excellent composition.
Best regards.

Silversnow (2121) 2009-05-19 13:49

Wow!
Superb sunrise you have here, even if it is on a guided tour, the inclusion opf those fellows add to the overall sense of scale and greatness of the gorgeous landscape.
Great colors despite the backlit subjects.

Docarmo (8844) 2009-05-19 18:48

Hallo Leo,
This is a well achieved face-to-face with the sun! And the presence of the silhouettes gives a pleasant view (they're not absolute silhouettes, which is better than if they were). An image of great visual impact.
Beautiful, beautiful!
Congratulations!
Docarmo

Hej Andreas,
A magnificent photo, not only the wonderful view but the way you handled the direct light into the camera,
Truly great!

everlasting (10936) 2009-05-26 2:54

sounds like a great morning walk:) I am putting this green view GH on my list. Splendid light control.

Signal-Womb (11753) 2009-06-06 16:21

I must say, this is really a succesful shot! Fantastic point of view and very dynamic lighting behind these people! Well done Andreas.

coco (27968) 2009-06-12 6:23

Hi Andreas.

Yes, I understand you.
And about the photo let me say you did a very good work due the composition but also, and especially, due the way you managed the light.

Well done.
