Egyptian style, a photo from Red Sea, Inland

Photographer's Note

A view of the coastline of Makadi Bay, on the coast of the Red Sea between Hurghada and Safaga.I visited this place 20 years ago and there was virtually nothing, now dozens of hotels have sprung up, all costruti strictly in Arabic style ..

STILE EGIZIANO

Una vista sulla costa della baia di Makadi,situata sulla costa del Mar Rosso tra Hurghada e Safaga.Ho visitato questo posto 20 anni fa e non c'era praticamente nulla,adesso sono sorti decine di alberghi,tutti costruti rigorosamente in stile arabo....

Hello Luciano,
A composition constructed along classical lines and benefiting from an interesting layered effect. There is much to see in this attractive looking seaside resort and all in very good detail. Excellent technical realisation.

Buongiorno Luciano
le tue foto sono centellinate, ma una più bella dell'altra, come si dice, poche ma buone.
Questa panoramica è splendida, forse ci avrei messo meno mare, in ogni caso le strisce colorate costituite da mare e palazzi, sono veramente belle, anche se 20 anni prima forse era meglio....
Buona domenica
Carlo

Hi Luciano,
Superb post taken with a great idea and execution! I have never been in Egypt but I'm sure a typical view looks like you presented here. Great work! Thanks for sharing.

Have a nice day!

Ciao Luciano, ottimo il taglio e molto particolare il mare a bande, così contrastanti e con quelle belle architetture come BG fa il suo piacevole effetto, luce potente e colori meravigliosi...eri con i piedi a mollo? buona giornata...

ciao Luciano,
piani compositivi ben legati fra loro anche se avrei tolto un paio di dita di FG.
Immagine che si prestava anche ad una large version.
La striscia della città sul fondo è ben definita e i colori risultano naturali,
buona domenica...qui stamattina ha nevicato ehheh

Bonjour, cher ami Luciano,
Eh oui ! tout change, les hôtels poussent comme des champignons pour accueillir le "tourisme".
J'aime beaucoup le choix du cadrage (très pertinent et fort bien réalisé).
Très bonne journée.
Amitiés.

ourania (51103) 2012-12-09 4:05

Ciao Luciano,
hai catturato ed inqudrato superbamente la costa vibrante vista dal mare. Mi piace tanto la successione di onde e colori che ci portano lentamente e gradevolmente verso lo splendido panorama che spicca fra le tonalita' blu'. La chiarezza e' ottima e la luce deliziosa fu gestita molto abilmente per rendere colori cosi ben definiti e piacevoli. Complimenti e grazie!
Tanti saluti e buona giornata,
Ourania

SnapRJW (31631) 2012-12-09 4:14

Hello Luciano - This is a great lesson in composition and a clever way to show the full width of the beach-side houses. The deep FG area of sea has enough detail to carry the shot in a balanced way and the horizontal stripes of blues work really well. Perfect contrasting colour is provided by the warm-toned buildings. Very nice work. Warm regards rosemary

jacquest (19269) 2012-12-09 4:57

Hello Luciano,

I like the tree tones in the water and the transparency at the forefront. The distance gives good deepness toward the beach and these buildings. The light is superb and gives good colors.

Best regards

Jacques

Sergiom (117241) 2012-12-09 5:16

Ciao Luciano,

Ce petit coin de l'Egypte semble bien tranquille si on le compare à ce qui se passe place Tarir en ce moment. On dirait une station balnéaire qui se grille au soleil.

Bon dimanche

Ciao Luciano!
That colorful skyline in the distant bg is very interesting and attractive!
This picture is very beautiful and I love all those colors (those of the sea too), the light, the level of shaprness, the chosen pov and the composition!
TFS - congrats,
Saluti,

Hi Luciano,
Beautiful buildings, and positioned perfectly in your shot, with that incredibly blue sure to its front. I love the layers of colours through the water, really nicely seen and captured image.
All the best

Layers of colors, of textures, of light, the whole is a nice pic, an opportune pic for the season...:)
Cheers,

holmertz (102604) 2012-12-09 10:52

Hello Luciano,
A very elegant composition with the dark blue line placed exactly at a third from the top. The many varieties of green and blue are superbly captured. The line of hotels, palms and tiny people offers a myriad of small detrails.
Best regards,
Gert

cornejo (61504) 2012-12-09 11:25

Ciao Luciano, bella sfilata di stile arabo, costruzioni moderne, ma non prive di gusto, favoloso il mare con tute le tonalità d'azzurro, splendida luce e ottima nitidezza, bravo, ciao Silvio

jjcordier (79299) 2012-12-09 23:02

Luciano
Ton cadrage avec la grande part laissée à la mer est très original et particulièrement efficace. Les hôtels ont poussé comme des champignons, mais l'ensemble reste très esthétique quand même.
Amicalement
JJ

delpeoples (60342) 2012-12-09 23:43

Caro Luciano

Ammazza che foto! Le bande di colori e tessiture sono uno spettacolo. Mi piace molto come hai usato la regola dei terzi da fare una foto molto unica, minimalista ed artistica. La cosa piú impressiva é come hai ottenuto una nitidezza cosi, usando un'apertura di f/5. Avrei pensato che tu abbia usato almeno f/9. Complimenti e ti auguro una bella giornata.

Un abbraccio
Lisa

amaryllis (37047) 2012-12-10 1:56

Bonjour
eh oui en vingt ans, cela a changé; cette côte est superbe, un cadrage laissant une profondeur de champ sur ces édifices et en premeir les dégradés de couleur de la mer
superbe!
juliette

ikeharel (113241) 2012-12-10 9:34

Picture has layer upon layers, in different sea colors, and town houses as dividing line to sky's, Luciano.
Palm trees added nice green tone to the whole.
Buona serata,
Ike

Ciao Luciano,
amazing glance on the beautiful beach. Nice colourful lines of water and architecture of houses in BG. Fine composition. Photo I like.
Have a nice day.
Aleksander

josepmarin (59385) 2012-12-11 9:34

Ciao Luciano,
tu encuadre y la estructura de los elementos son muy atrevidos, porque has dejado un gran espacio al agua del mar, con sus franjas de diferentes colores, mientras la zona donde hay más información gráfica debido a la arquitectura de la ciudad ocupa solamente el tercio superior de la composición.
El resultado es muy interesante, has tenido una gran idea.
La foto tiene una alta calidad de luz y de color.
Un abbraccio,
Josep

Hi Luciano
cool looking shot, and as you say...you have colors that 'pop' lol

its a great photo for layering horizontally.
as a lover of architecture, i'd love to see a more up close version of the buildings.
but its still a fine photo.
enjoy your day

Hi Luciano!
A very nice shot in layers! The tonalities of the water really catch our eye here!I also like the architecture and colours of the hotels, with the palm trees!I'm glad they are building them in arab style and not making mistakes like many other countries. Good colours and sharpness!

kato (11630) 2012-12-18 11:44

Hi Luciano,

You're capturing well this scene by a good angle and excellent tone/clarity, so it's interesting and impressive to see sea with three layers, beach line and the rows of building with arabic style in behind. Here looks as a comfortable place for resort life. You catch this from a good angle.

Kind regards,
mikio

Didi (61589) 2012-12-19 9:33

Ciao Luciano
Lorsque j'étais en Egypte, ce coin était désertique en 1974, c'était un petit village de pêcheur
L'image est intéressante avec ces différentes couleurs de la mer
Meilleurs voeux pour Noël

Recently built out of nowhere, this place looks quite colourful and its skyline is beautiful with the many domes nicely on a row.
The different tones of blue water make an excellent foreground.

Is nice to see the variations in the color of the water...... Arabic style looks very attractive from the distance.
Very good capture on f5.0 and very vivid colours.

Ciao Luciano,
I considered to go To Egypt in October after my flights to Morocco got cancelled but there were some tests required and I didn't have time for it so I went to Lanzaroyte instead.
NIce panoramic view of the new town. So many hotels and I wonder whether many of them are empty these days. WE got announcement a second ago about new restrictions in England again :(
Lovely minimalist composition, very well done,
M
