Le port, a photo from Essaouira, South

Photographer's Note

Essaouira, petite ville portuaire de 70.000 habitants sur la côte atlantique du Maroc
Elle est jumelée à La Rochelle en France et elle me fait immédiatement penser, avec ses remparts, à St Malo, la cité corsaire, en Bretagne

Twin city with La Rochelle in France, it definitely makes me think, with its remparts, to St Malo, the corsair city in Brittany

an excellent light to underline the end of the exhausting day... everything is so quiet, so much at ease....

Bonsoir Patrick,
Une belle vue sur le port, avec ses rangées de bateaux, petits et grands.
Les piles épaisses de filets de pêche font un avant-plan attrayant.
Une belle lumière du soleil couchant.
Amicalement, Paul

Bonsoir Patrick,
Belle balade le long du port de pêche. La lumière matinale donne des tons très doux sur les filets de pêche et les bateaux en arrière-plan. Compo très agréable.
Amicalement,
Delphine

Bonjour Patrick. A busy image with lots of details. It is nevertheless nicely balanced with the diagonals formed by the two sets of boats and the pier.Wonderful light. The fishing net with its white floats is very well placed and adds nice contrast. Amicalement. Klaudio.

Belle lumière sur les paquets de filets et les bateaux en cale sèche. Je suppose que tu as attendu encore un peu pour qu'elle éclaire les célèbres barques bleues.
Amicalement

Ciao Patrick
avevo notato ieri questa tua foto ma avevo esaurito le mie critiche ed ho dovuto attendere oggi per farti i complimenti per l'ottima ripresa.
Hai scelto un ottimo punto di vista e le reti in primo piano danno grande vigore alla composizione, il tutto avvolto dalla luce calda di un sole basso sull'orizzonte.
Ciao e buona giornata
Romano

siolaw (38294) 2013-04-02 2:11

Salut Patrick,
Jolie lumière de fin de journée et bonne construction de la compo avec ces sacs de filets qui accrochent bien au premier plan et cette série de bateaux à l'arrière aui semblent en "cale sèche" (?).
Mes amitiés
Laurent

Hi Patrick
love this! So much to look at and all so perfectly clear and detailed. I love exploring places like this especially at each end of the day. Glorious light and a real sense of atmosphere in this beautiful image. Superb!

Have a good week - Brian.

macondo (20449) 2013-04-02 3:58

Hello Patrick.
Lovely shot in the evening, with the golden light and shadows on the wall. I like the twin patterns of the raised boats and the many bundles of nets. Really good composition and excellent capture of the light. Well done.
Regards,
Andrew

macjake (98456) 2013-04-02 4:11

Hi Patrick
yes, lets see more and more of this port that you went to. Any specific reason why you went to this location? it seems to be not the typical location for tourists...no?
love the look of the 4 large fishing boats in the bg, they steal the show for me. but seeing all the netting is fun too. i think you got up early to catch the sunrise! unique post from Morocco
cheers

Bonjour Patrick,
a very lovely, vivid and delightful impression of the little port and its atmosphere. I love the depth and the elegant arrangement of so many interesting elements in the frame. There's a superb combination of strong and pastel colours and your light management is admirable, you have captured the constant transfer from light to shadow in a very smooth, effective and attractive way. Congratulations and thank you!
All the best, have a lovely evening,
Ourania

chrislo (4099) 2013-04-02 11:35

Bonjour Patrick,
Si Essaouira a des airs de St Malo, c'est que les deux villes ont été conçues par le même architecte français, Théodore Cornut, ce qui explique aussi que les deux villes soient jumelées. C'était la minute culturelle... J'aime bien le contraste entre ces filets entassés pêle-mêle sur le quai et l'ordre que dessinent barques et chalutiers bien alignés. J'aime aussi le côté chaud de la lumière matinale qui donne à cette image des couleurs chaleureuses et une grande impression de quiétude. Tu as bien fait de te lever tôt pour capter cette belle ambiance.
Amicalement,
Christian

gildasjan (43826) 2013-04-02 13:36

Bonne nuit

Salut Patrick,

Joli travail de cadrage et de composition. J'apprécie notamment le bon placement des bateaux en arrière plan sur la droite.
En prime une belle lumière chaude et dorée.

Yves.

Hello Patrick

I like this composition. Good FG interest and I like the way the boats are all lined up nicely for you! Good late light too.

Yes I see what you meant about the cyan tinge. Thanks for pointing that out.

TFS

Hi Patrick!
Guess I've seen these boats on the other shot! I also like this one, the soft light is really good and the fishing nets are a great foreground.

Angshu (56760) 2013-04-15 21:18

Namaste Patrick
Its the FG which makes the shot, rocks etc wrapped in fishing net. What I also like is the repetation of boats in the BG..at least the 3 of them. Lovely low light to bathe the scene in pastel colours. Good exposure management for this delightful shot
Best Regards
Angshu

Urs (14082) 2013-05-03 18:20

Hi Patrick

What makes this shot tick is the extraordinary low POV which boosts DOF. The sunlight adds some more sparkle to it or better a slight red tint. Vibrant colour hues with high sharpness are the other ingredients of this amazing shot Thanks for bringing back memories of Essaouira, a port town I like a lot

Warm regards
Urs
