total recall, a photo from Barcelona, Catalogne

Photographer's Note

I know, I said that in mi next photo I would give you news about my new work. But I’m going to be a few days off and I would miss the chance to remember the date when Jerry Goldsmith passed away.

It was the 21th of July of 2004.
Jerry Goldsmith was one of the best composer who wrote music for cinema and his music will be ever between us. Maybe he was the best and I want remember him with this picture taken in Barcelona a few months ago.

I hope you like it.

A nice tribute to this musician. Your picture is very nice. The lone surfer look very good against the waves and curvature of the horizon. Nice work Carlos.

I love the composition with the surfer and his shadow entering the sea. The placement of the shoreline on a diagonal works very well. You have captured wonderful texture in the sand and sea, but what happened to the horizon?

Aunque tengo mis dudas en cuanto a formato y compo, no deja de ser una imagen atractiva y fresca, vamos que me ha gustado.

First of all - I like tilted horizon. Maybe this is strange opinion, but I really like it.
Regards!

So where is New York. You promised. Oh I see its on the other side of the sea there in the distance! Good work. Who wants to see New York when you can enjoy summer surf and sea anyways. Very good photo with excellent details from the sand foreground to the sky above. I would however liked to see the water horizon in the distance level. Just being picky..with one of my TE pet peeves!

sreeharig (211) 2007-07-20 10:03

excellent shot with an almost perfect use of the rule of thirds, with earth, water and air. I love the way you have included the distant skyscrapers/ maybe sail boats..

Angelillo (9374) 2007-07-20 11:53

Hola Carlos,

Me gusta mucho esta imagen: las pisadas en la arena, las muchas pisadas... que contrastan con el solitario surfista, y su sombra que juega con el agua y la arena. No sé muy bien por qué te recuerda esta imagen a la película, tal vez porque invita a soñar y a imaginar mundos... Sea como sea, Goldsmith merece un homenaje... La foto cumple.

Un saludo,
Angel.

Hi Carlos
very fine to include the links that gives a lot of ibfo to remind this composer but the link with this shot of your is that not evident, I can imagine but you don't explain why you chose this view. The photo itself, colors are impecable clear and elements sharp detailled, I'm not that convinced about the tilt and the curve of the horizont pulling distracting attention and ok not for the rules that much but still the centering of the man is a bit static but all these thought could be easily adjusted a bit in this still clear shot looking to infinity.
greetings
Henk

john_c (24666) 2007-07-21 8:45

Hi Carlos,
The vertical format is especially effective here in highlighting this slice of beach with the fellow wandering alone in the surf. A suitable memorial shot for Jerry. The footprints in the sand are most effective. A fine capture, Carlos. Cheers and have a good weekend.
John

luiscar (3286) 2007-07-21 9:56

Hola Carlos.
Me gusta la parte original de esta foto, el primer plano de las pisadas muy marcadas en la arena, que contrasta bien con el oleaje.
Yo hubiera esperado a que el sufista diera unos pasos más, me gusta el formato vertical, bastante acertado.
Un saludo.

MiguelP (14470) 2007-07-21 12:28

ESta curiosa esta foto por la mezcla de texturas: La arena, el agua, la espuma del mar, y en el centro de todo el surfero cascabelero. La luz la reconozco, es mediterránea, muy mediterranea.
A ver si te dan buenas noticias pronto.
Miguel

capthaddock (28790) 2007-07-21 23:34

Hi Carlos - the angle of the sunlight gives interesting shadows and a nice shimmer to the water, the wide angle of the lens exaggerates the curvature of the earth, or is it a tilt? The surfer seems to be in no danger of falling at least.

Hi Carlos. Nice photo. Good diagonal compo with excellent colour and detail. Well captured and thanks for sharing.

Hola Carlos,
fantástica imagen!La composición con las pisadas en la arena en primer plano, y el mar en diagonal le dan mucha fuerza a la imagen, reforzada con la silueta del surfista. Los colores perfectos.
Excelente trabajo,
Saludos,
Sònia.

Hola Carlos,

No puede haber algo tan sencillo y tan hermoso como el mar. Muy buenos colores, texturas y luminosidad.

Saludos desde Brasil

cherryripe (21033) 2007-07-23 14:27

Hola Carlos
Que raro, el tio tan recto pero su cabeza por la izquierda y el horizonte que cae por la derecha. Me gusta los pasos en la arena y la textura del mar. Da ganas de mojarse.
Un saludo
Nikki

devimeuxbe (58557) 2007-07-23 15:01

Hi carlos
This is an interesting composition. You placed the man right in the middle. It's a strange choise but it work. The light is great.
Well done
Bertrand

pablominto (53746) 2007-07-25 0:38

Hello Carlos,
A pleasant minimalistic approach to beach activities!
Great diagonal composition, the backlight adds life to the surf and makes the water suface shimmer nicely...
The footprints in front is a nice addition!
Greetings,
Pablo -

syd1946 (1167) 2007-07-28 9:20

Hello Carlos,
So nice summer feeling when I am looking your photo!
And I enjoy it very much...the sand and the sea...
I like also Jerry's music and I agree with the dedication!
ta leme file mou,

Thomas

Hola Carlos again, it looks impressive, the lonely surfer is good placed, and as silhouette works great here in your image.

josepmarin (59385) 2007-08-01 3:41

Hola Carlos,
bona composició, molt lluminosa i amb un bon control de la llum. El surfer solitari caminant per la vora de la platja, amb l'escuma de les onades i els brillos sobre l'aigua, capten l'ambient de ple estiu i m'agraden. El quadre amb la diagonal de la sorra està ben vist, però noto alguna cosa estranya a la línia de l'horitzó, i no sé si és degut a la corbatura provocada pel gran angular.
De totes maneres, m'agrada molt la foto.
Salut,
Josep

Emile (20352) 2007-08-01 12:33

Hola Carlos.
Me gustan las pisadas en la arena y ese mar con las olas cubiertas de una preciosa espuma blanca. El joven surfista lo encuenro muy en el medio pero la foto es muy buena. Buen homenaje a Jerry Goldsmith.
Felicitaciones.
Abrazos.

ChrisJ (171392) 2007-08-02 5:02

Hola Carlos

I like the textured fg sand, & it's a nice tribute to Jerry. The warm cold colour opposition of blue sky/sea & reddish sand is great. Tfs!

pierrefonds (113716) 2007-08-04 15:42

Hi carlos,

A nice image of the beach, of the sea and of the surfer, the photo has a good composition, DOF and nice colors. Thanks for sharing.

Hola, Carlos.
J'aime bien la simplicité de cette photo très attractive, ainsi que son aspect estival.
Amitiés, Grazyna.

Hi Carlos!
To have such a beach in the middle of the city is a very big privilege. I liked it there a lot when we visited your homecity. And I like your photo of it, because it ceptures the summer and beach life mood very well.
Regards
Andreas

keribar (43841) 2007-08-18 2:49

Hello Carlos,
Nice tribute to Jerry Goldsmith, and nic epicture too. Funny how it looks as if the earth is round, and this is probably due tu a very wide-angle effect.

Simple but excellent all the way - Izzet

Hi Carlos. This is a very summery carefree photo. The vertical frame makes it different. A very fresh image. Well done. Murray.

Olá Carlos, lovely tribute to Jerry Goldsmith and thanks for the video. This is quite an atractive atmosphere in a good vertical composition. I would prefer the surfer more to the left (a bit earlier) and the horizon straight, even if I know you left it on purpose, but I like a lot the mood, the contrast of the surfer with the foam and the inclusion of the sand in FG.
