Abandoned... Photo

Photographer’s Note

Hi,

This is one of my new photos from yesterday. I spent few hours looking for the Sun, but the weather was...of course crap. However I found many interesting models where I was. I'm showing you one of them.

This picture was taken in Balbriggan.
Balbriggan (Baile Brigín in Irish) is a town in the northern part of Fingal county, within the historic County Dublin, Ireland.

It's one of those harbours that is a mixture between a working port and a dead port. There are a few trawlers there that are obviously still in use but mostly, it comes across a little stagnant.

I would recommend it if u were looking for a nice place to stay on a sunny.

Cheers!

Czolem Darek!
Widak takich poprzewracanych i zostawionych na pastwe losu kutrow robi przygnebiajace wrazenie. Sugestywna fotografia.
Pozdrawiam.

czesc Darku,
kurtka ale czad!!! Przez chwile poczulem sie jak bym byl na planie Piratow z Karaibow! Po prostu rewelka, ta lajba na PP jest niesamowita, a wykonanie jak zawsze mistrzowskie. Swietna robota, naprawde przyciaga uwage!
pozdrawiam
Pawel

Hi D,
Very good result with a silver light and reflections, good place for this boat in your composition, good depth also.

Hello Daroiusz,
The unwilling weather continues to make you a specialist of sculpted grey skies...
A fine scene with a moody atmosphere, looks like an era is closed without finding much of a successor ?
Regards,
Paul

Co to za miejsce, myslalem, ze tylko w Rosji leza wraki.
Ladny kadr ale smutna jego wymowa.
Podoba mi sie swiatlo i kolorystyka.

Czesc Darku, swietnie wykorzystales ten wrak.
PP doskonale wzmocnil to zdjecie. Super dramatyczne chmury, wspaniala ostrosc.
Typowy letni dzien w Irlandii.

Hi Dariusz,
this seems to be another DRI (or is it HDR?...I haven't figured out the difference yet) picture. This old boat is a real eye-catcher with the various colors on the shell. As usual, the sky is overcast but it suits the general mood.

Best,

Philippe

Hi Darek,

Best regards

Sergio

Czesc Darek!
Cette photo me plaît beaucoup. Je trouve que c'est une œuvre d'art. La composition, la lumière et le graphisme sont d'une très grande qualité. Le bateau agonisant a encore très belle allure.
Amicalement
Jacques

Czesc,
interesujacy widok, zaskakujaca ta powalona lodz na 1szym planie. Tylko sie cieszyc, ze chmury nie zniechecaja Cie do fotografowania krajobrazow. Wydobyles tutaj ile sie dalo.
Pozdr. Al.

Czesc Dariusz! Fotografia robi wrazenie wrecz przygniatajace, swietnie zakomponowany kadr, bardzo dobra glebia. Klaniam sie!

snunney (35376) 2009-08-11 1:02

Hello Darek,
The subject suits the mood of the sky perfectly. I like the way you have framed lying diagonally at the bottom half of the frame with the town in the background. Tones and textures are beautifully rendered. A fine study in dereliction.

chawax (6149) 2009-08-11 1:17

Hi Dariusz,
It looks like summer in Ireland this year is the same than in Brittany, a crapy one ! Nice shot anyway, with an excellent framing and a perfect sharpness.
Regards,
Olivier

yaya13baut (2351) 2009-08-11 1:27

hi Dariusz,
a great dramatic scene and the heavy weather has a great part in this mood.
a good and sharp composition ; the eye is attracted by the dead boat on the foreground and its hull already re-coverd by green algae.
the POV makes us think the boat emerges from the depth, among a clear water, well enlightened.

Bonjour Dariusz
Belle image de ce bateau couché et de ce ciel chargé. Un cadrage au poil avec une foule de détails à observer.

dta (5935) 2009-08-11 5:05

Hello DAriusz ,
This one is a masterpiece . The effect of the grey tonalities and of the light management is outstanding . As the well chosen POV and the superb composition .
Great work !
Congratulations

Pomimo ciekawej pogody zawsze potrafisz wynaleźć sobie TEMACIK:)))

Hello Dariusz,

it makes quite an impression to see that sky in August but the image is pretty good! The sunken boat fills almost the whole photogram and forms a kind of diagonal. I like the superb colours and textures of the hull and the reflections on the shallow water. It's so vivid and alive that one can almost touch it!
The hole harbour seems silted up and forlorn, I wonder why?
(I see you have done a great job with those lighthouses lately...)
Best greetings,
Donato

SWEETFREEDOM (552) 2009-08-11 9:40

hi dariusz,
very interesting POV, great depth of field, good colors.

bye

josepmarin (34017) 2009-08-11 11:56

Hi Darek,
It is an impressive composition. I like the graphism that you have obtained with this ship died on the sand of the port, in a melancholical and a bit sad but very attractive image.
The light of a grey and cloudy day, the colors and the quality of image are superb.
Well done.
Best regards,
Josep

hardyuno (2599) 2009-08-11 12:10

Hello Darek,
maybe weather was crap, your picture not at all.
A really impressive shot. Well shot.

jjanczyk (1921) 2009-08-11 16:51

Witaj Darku,
Kolejny, rewelacyjny kadr!
Przygnebiajaca atmosfera, niczym z jakiegos horroru, tylko czajacych sie rekinow, ewentualnie piranii brakuje :)
Wspaniala kolorystyka.
Pozdrawiam

kiks (6147) 2009-08-12 13:07

The light is just fantastic on this image but i also like the circular lines created by the diferent features. It gives almost a fisheye effect. Very goed work at my opinion. Congratulations

Bruno40 (6442) 2009-08-13 2:22

Hi Dariusz,
Very nice HDR work here, the subject is very interesting and well framed in the photo.
No doubt that HDR works well for "crappy" weather. I did the same with one of my photos from Easter Island.
good work
Jorge

Cześć, Bracik1
Pięknie ta łódź leży w kadrze :) W ogóle pięknie ją pokazałeś, nie tylko, że w nietypowej pozie to w pięknych kolorach i pięknym świetle.
Pogoda i miejsce dla mnie wymarzone na spacer z moim soniaczkiem :)
pozdrawiam ciepło
sis

leonorkuhn (13957) 2009-08-15 8:45

Witaj Darek,

Gorgeous composition! I am sad to see a boat abandoned. He has had his good-luck days. The picture is beautiful, excellent light, great colors and details.

Have a nice weekend
Leonor

ilDottore (4004) 2009-08-16 8:56

Hej Darek,
To jest jedno z lepszych Twoich zdjęć na TE.
Perfekcyjna kompozycja.
Smutny i depresyjny widok z Blackbriggan! ;)
Pozdrówki!
Krzysiek

levente (501) 2009-08-21 12:27

Splendid warm rusty tones and then the Irish pastel grey tones :)... clouds, too add nicely to it and there is something so beautifully melancholic about these rusting old boats

berek (28989) 2009-08-27 23:18

Hi Dariusz,
