Late light Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

De Dordtse Biesbosch" covers 1.000 ha. And is one the most of this National Park. Together with the other two it is it one of the few remaining fresh
water tidal areas in Europe. Because of its natural beauty and its rarity the main parts of the "Dordtse Biesbosch" are closed off and are prohibited to the the general public.
f dykes got damaged causing an almost complete inundation of the "Groote of Zuid Hollandsche Waard", (The Great or South Holland Diked-haugh). This disaster was named after St. Elisabeth, the patroness of that day and is still known as the "St. Elisabeth flood". More than 60.000 ha. were inundated and the sea got free access to this once so prosperous territory,
in earlier years reclaimed from the the sea by man. Sediments from the rivers and the tidal motions of the sea created a new natural territory in the following years and was later given the name "De Biesbosch".

About the photo, The sun was almost going unther, and there where a lot of rain clouds. So the sky was beautiful, And the light, you may say it, but I love the light here, and the colours to. Meaby that there are people who find the photo to dark, you me say it.

Very nice lighting here, a lovely scene

Dag Jaap kan het nog Nederlandser. Deze foto is echt tijdloos. Oude boederij, water, bomen en een Nederlandse lucht. Mooie grijze en donkere kleuren. Perfect!

Wie heeft hier zijn schilders ezel opgesteld, zo te zien Jaap, met een mooi resultaat, inderdaad ik zou deze misschien iets te donker vinden maar die keuzes toch nietwaar! Maar hoe dan ook mooi blijft deze foto. Bedankt.

A very moody light situation you captured in this one, Jaap. The dark sky and clouds add a menacing touch to this beautiful place. You composed this well, looking across the water towards the building hidden beneath the trees. I don't think it's too dark. Great shot, well done.

The photo is not too dark at all. I think you captured the lighting at that time of day very accurately. This is my favorite time of day to take photos, too.

Vey nice colors. The dark lighting brought out the intense colors of the grassses. I like your composition very much.

bertolucci (11990) 2004-04-11 10:23

In lijn met John's observatie: een werk zoals Jacob van Ruysdael ze eeuwen geleden op een veel bewerkelijker manier maakte. Zeer sfeervol, zeer Hollands, lekker scherp en niet te donker - goed dat je het zo gelaten hebt. Heel mooi werk, Jaap.

Kenny10pin (19301) 2004-04-11 10:43

it is a little dark, but never the less, it is beautiful, especially the hidden barn and the stream, simply great. The bird above the trees is great too, well done

Schultzy (5428) 2004-04-11 14:03

Les teintes sont vraiment particulières sous ce ciel menaçant. L'endroit est bien choisi et aurait fait un bon sujet pour une peinture.

Spoony (3539) 2004-04-11 15:28

In my opinion the darkness works good here... "help" to create the environment.
Great shot. Well done.

papagolf21 (56593) 2004-04-11 17:52

A real picture ! I like this very beautiful composition Jaap. Bucolic, rural, full of charm and romanticism.
Very beautiful colours.
I like very much. Thank you Jaap.

hojper (2830) 2004-04-11 18:38

Jaap, this is absolutely my favourite kind of light. It reminds me of some many of the old masters who also seemed to love the weak, fading light and the special character and sharpness it gives to everything. It is of course also a light and a kind of sky that I find very North European, which is after all where my heart is. The wind on the water and the bird above the tree only add to make it a masterpiece in my opinion. Thank you.

Ha Jaap, heb een paar dagen gemist, maar jij niet, zie ik. Prachtige sfeer heb je hier te pakken, de bomen zijn fantastisch, en net nog die vogel erop. Erg goed gezien, en zoals Bert en John zeggen: bijna een schilderij!

edji (1368) 2004-04-11 23:22

Très belle photo qui donne une ambiance étrange. L'endroit semble calme mais le ciel menaçant semble annoncer une tempête. J'aime bien l'éclairage. Bon travail.

jrj (34779) 2004-04-12 5:21

Excellent light setting and well composed detail from the countryside. I kind of Rembrandt's impression here. Well done Jaap

sunny (3068) 2004-04-12 13:44

Magnificent light effects, Jaap! The moody sky and the dark clouds match so very well with the dark water. I like the way the yellowish grass is lightening the shot and is making it completed in colours. Very well seen and captured indeed!

Jaap
Dit laat my dadelik aan 'n Jacob van Ruysdael dink, very moody, and the bird just round it off! Mooi, Man. Ek het sy Molen bij Wijk by Duurstede teen my sitkamer muur. k less nou net dat dit ander ook herhinner aan die ou meesters!

danyy (69279) 2004-05-15 14:16

Great lights.
and natural colours.
I really love this kind of picture.
