Amasra Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

Amasra (Amastris) was founded in 6th century BC and its ancient name was Sesamos. It is one of the highest spots on the Black Sea Coast which displays unimaginable, fascinating beauties while traveling through. The city is located on a peninsula and the eastern side is especially good for swimming. The archaeological museum and Çekiciler Street are of interest, too. As a souvenir you may purchase hand-carved, wooden articles.

selam,

renk tonu ve kontrast çok iyi, kadraj da aynen.
azıcık uzun pozlama belki dalgaları daha şık gösterebilirdi...
elinize sağlık.

Hello Ugur - berrak suyun rengi ege veya akdenizi aratmiyor, herhalde tüm karadeniz kiyisinin en fotojenik kasabasi (Gideros'ta güzel ama orda zavalli bir restorandan baska birsey yok)

Will Merhaba Ugur, l`ancian name d`Amasra, makes me think of a film whose title was Ali-baba and the 40 robbers, to open the cave with the treasure there was a password (who is close to Sésamos) sesame opens, therefore I wondered whether Sésamos had a relationship with this history? For your photograph c'est a sight very pleasant and quite made up in a beautiful light, the?il takes the time of s'attarder on the curve of this beach from which the boats and the houses with far us get multiples hang, arkadasça selamlar................................Merhaba Ugur, l‘ancien nom d‘Amasra, me fait penser à un film dont le titre était Ali-baba et les 40 voleurs, pour ouvrir la caverne au trésor il y avait un mot de passe ( qui est proche de Sésamos) sésame ouvre-toi, donc je me demandai si Sésamos avait un rapport avec cette histoire ? Pour ta photo c'est une vue très agréable et bien composée dans une belle lumière, l’œil prend le temps de s'attarder sur la courbure de cette plage dont les bateaux et les maisons au loin nous procurent de multiples accroches, arkadasça selamlar

mortijo (12376) 2007-04-26 13:28

Hello Ugur,
Beautiful view of this little town rising on top of that hill, and all the fisherman's boats lasting around the bay. Indeed it must a nice place to swim so beautiful and clean this water looks.
Cheers.

very well composed picture of this plesant place. Thanks to the polarizer you got a wonderful deep blue sky. Great picture.

jemaflor (39689) 2007-04-27 6:06

Hi Ugur,
Lovely landscape, perfect light to give nice colours, for the frame maybe with more beach in the bottom and less sky, the result would be better ... maybe, of course !

molla (6891) 2007-04-27 6:17

Hej Ugur
There's a good dialog between the blue and green in the boat and the colors in the surrounding.

Philippe (11787) 2007-04-28 16:20

Hi, Ugur. A very pleasant picture of that seaside town. The boat in the foreground gives a good depth to the image and the red roofs contrast well with the polarized sky. The water looks crystal clear.

tabora (13640) 2007-04-28 17:31

Merhaba Ugur,
So charming... Really precious, both the place and, of course, the photo, which is very cleverly composed, featuring great clarity, colours and sharpness. These kind of photos have been confirming my 'suspicion' that the Black Sea area is one of the prettiest places one can imagine.
Selamlar, José.

A very beautiful photo with a good centring with this boat in foreground. Colors are intense and very pleasant. I shall maybe have suited a little higher to put the boat more in the foreground still and to have more sky. I post a workshop.

Merhaba, Ugur,
A beautiful landscape in this composition of the city on the rocks, with the transparent and clean water, the beach, and the boats.
They are elements that give a great attraction to the set, and where we see a great quality of image, an excellent lighting and a few beautiful and natural colors.
The sky is very well polarized, and has a great effect with its fantastic color.
Nice work.
Best regards,
Josep

bazal (7898) 2007-06-01 3:18

HI Ugur.
This is a superb composition showing us this picturesque area with the typical village and the cristalline sea. The idea to integrate the ship at the foreground is very good and makes the general composition more dynamic.
Thanks for sharing!
