Hello Cretense,
Un paysage très particulier et un titre qui convient bien.
Très jolies couleurs et un joli coin de lumière à l'arrière plan.Je préfère celle-ci plus colorée
Best regards

The quality is superb and it seems as if the onlooker could be right there over feeling and smelling droughtness . You chose the best moment for that picture and also the best POV , shallow but filling 2/3 of the composition with glitterring golden in contrast with the shadows covering grooves and enhancing shapes ...

Night?
80 sec bulb???

I could bet for a polarized noon-light rather than a bulbed moon-light in this one!
Indeed, a spectacular place of volcanic gathering, quite weird, irritating, yet above all, magical!
For the WB, i prefer warm ones (shade or cloudy) 90% of the time. And imho, here it goes very well for the cheating "noon" effect.

Ta leme,

yeah!
what a planet, what did ya say the name was ? Herculia, where the sun always sets and never rises. But there's no Herculians in site?
This is a bit of a time travel and a true Underground photography.

Impressive shot, the exaggeration of the foreground made this place looks alienated and the colors emphasize it more. Great shot and i like your title too.

Hello Hercules
I, personally, do prefer the main post because of the golden tonalities of the crater, and even though it's a small detail there is a green glare, on the other one, which is visible in FG. I like the texture and the star effect of the sun.
Thanks for the note too!
Cheers

Hercules,
no questions regarding which version I like the best. Obviously the main post. The colors are full of tonalities and contrasts. The WS lacks all of this.
I never heard and I never have seen any images of this place. It reminds me somewhat of the weirdness of the Death Valley in California. My first impression was certainly that this is a day shot but then reading your note and looking more carefully I saw the stars in the sky and any doubt was taken.
What are these holes?

A unique environment, a unique photo.
You mastered very well the possibility of seeing both the sun setting (or is that the moon rising?) and the holes in the crater. I prefer the original version with warmer colours.
Thanks,

Hola Hercules.
Muy interesante foto, la verdad que no parece tomada en nuestro planeta, me gusta mucho el juego de luz y sombra en una foto a contra luz.
Me gusta mas esta foto que la que esta en tu WS.
Un fuerte abrazo amigo.

Kalispera Hercules.

¿Tienes un disparador externo? Lo digo porque he intentado hacer exposiciones de 70-80 segundos y al "tocar" el disparador movía la cámara y estropeaba la foto.
Pero eso me recuerda otra duda. ¿Qué hay que hacer para poder enfocar correctamente por la noche?. La verdad es un tema que me traía loco cuando me vi en una ocasión durante cerca de hora y media intentando hacer una foto decente del cielo estrellado sobre Quintanilla del Coco.


En cualquier caso, una fotaza (mucho mejor que el WS).

Dicho esto... sigo tentado de volver este julio a Grecia (si me renuevan no vuelvo a volar hasta el 28 de julio como muy pronto... y si no me renuevan... pues no vuelvo a volar hasta que me entre en otro sitio... y si encontrara trabajo alende los mares -siempre al otro lado del mediterráneo- creo que daría el salto).

Ta leme, file mou.

Geia sou kirie o diabolos!
The impression to be on another planet is real! You made well to stay several hours to make photos. I think that it was difficult to choose " only one"!. But this choice is sensible. I love your two versions, with maybe a small preference for the WS with its more grey and even stranger tints.
I also like the small stars which appear. I think that you spent extraordinary moments over there.
Now, you have to prepare your scissors for hair and especially for nails because the sulfur made to grow it a lot!
You will not be any more a devil but a witch!

Hi Hercules, The timing is very good indeed, the position of the sun assists the colouring of the ground superbly & creates that look of another planet, I have looking at the WS & much prefer this photo, the warmer light highlights better detail & creates a better atmosphere, TFS, kind regards Wilson.
