Ait Ben Haddou Photo

Photographer’s Note

I am back home, and posting the first one of new series depicting Morocco. Here is one of the famous Kasba "Ait ben Haddou" , which has been the set for many films. and which is near Ouarzazate on the way to Marrakesh: Most photographers have hear about the place, buıt I would like to stress here that in order to get the good light I had to visit it four times in three days, and I got it right only on the fourth attempt. I will post others from different angles later.

Thanks for making the effort of multiple visits, Izzet - the result you got in this one is really worth it for the wonderful interplay of light and shadows, and the beautiful blue - ochre - green color palette. Excellent detail shown in the intricate architecture of this special place. Greetings from Osaka.

Hi Izzet,
Looking for new posts at TE with remembering places and nice Countries. This one is a must and the good eye view catch from the Photographer. I saw this moment that you posted so well captured and composed at south place near Marrakesh at the well beauty Quarzazate. Really I never stayed here but I know that is lovely. I have stayed for 3 times at Agadir at some years ago and I like very much and my pictures are old and only scanned with problems. Lovely place you took in a excelent quality picture and composition. Good lightness handling, colors, brightness with contrasting mood shadows and fine sharpness in a clear picture. A splendid work by your signature and dedicate work share at TE.

All the best to you and thanks for a complementray view of a nice and also a excelent country and people with so many places to take great nature and picures. Congratulations!

Have a nice week and TFS.
Fernando

Bonsoir Izzet,
Quatre visites en trois jours... ça m'impressionne! Dans mes voyages je n'ai jamais l'occasion de revenir sur un site et suis toujours obligée de composer avec la lumière et les conditions du moment. Je pense que c'est ce qui fait la différence entre un pro comme toi et une simple touriste! :o)
En tout cas, tu as été récompensé pour ta persévérance car la lumière ici est parfaite et fait agréablement ressortir les détails de l'architecture.
Amicalement, Brigitte
