Rain comes...., a photo from Hessen, West

Photographer's Note

Normally, you won't risk a second view here - so boring!

That late afternoon, a very strong and warm light came in at a low angle; such colors were really incredible.

No special setting were applied to influence the colors, no optimization too.

By the way, the rusty red bushes in the foreground... do you know them? - It's asparagus!!!

Was happy having had the cam with me!

Bonjour Knut,
Très beau ciel et une lumière qui fait bien ressortir tous ces tons dorés.
Joli constraste entre le vert et l'or.
Un tout bon cadrage.
Amicalement,
Denise

Hi Knut,

What a soft contrast between the golden colours in foreground and the imminent sky, rain clouds care for a excellent compositon, the low sun make this picture attractive! Thanks for sharing.

Have a nice day,
John.

I very much like the triangles formed in this composition, the lighting is beautiful and it really emphasises the colours. Very nicely done.
Best wishes

riclopes (35577) 2006-11-23 9:55

Hi Knut, fantastic colors indeed! The asparagus bushes are very impressive and they made a nice paralelism with the dark cloud, in the composition. Simply beautiful and not boring at all!
Regards,
Ricardo

Hallo Knut!
The right man with the right camera in the right spot at the right moment! All this to say that the picture was worth taking with these light conditions.

atus (15878) 2006-11-25 9:39

Szia Knut,
Great shot here! Very well captured with this impressive and tremendous sky. The clear light is fantastic and the nice and warm colours are in an excellent contrast with the dark clouds. Very nice one!
Tfs and have a great Sunday!

hello knut,
what a perfect picture with amazing colors. Light is brillantly managed. You've a nice and threatening sky. I like too the perspective issued from geometrical lines of fields.
Best regards

Salut Knut,
Des couleurs et une lumière incroyables! C'est ce qui s'appelle se trouver au bon endroit au bon moment et en plus tu avais la chance d'avoir ton appareil avec toi. C'est super!
Bon week-end.
Brigitte

Hi Knut,
The scene resembles a painting, and the soft bushes bathed in light really contrast well with the threatening clouds. The green strip of grass angling through the foreground adds a further colour that blends well with the fields. There is good depth here, Knut, and I detect a power line way in the distance. Well captured, my friend.
John

parbo (11092) 2006-11-25 16:46

Hello Knut,

Splendid colors with your excellent composition. Rust colored grass creates strong contrast with sky. Furrowed fields, distributed autumn colored trees are very nice. Black parts of clouds are really messenger of coming rain. Congratulations.

Best Regards,

Parbo

Before reading the note i knew this was asparagusses :-))
It builds a nice "tableau" under this heavy sky, just an opposition of light and heavy, and all with a good light.
I like it

jrj (34843) 2006-11-27 4:36

hi knut
For sure the most special presentation I have seen so far of aspargus hehe..
The light combined with the dark clouded sky sure does it in this one. Interesting result

Hallo Knut,
es scheint momentan die Wetterlage für dieses Licht zu sein. Leo hat vor kurzem ähnlich intensive Farben gehabt:
http://www.trekearth.com/gallery/Europe/Germany/photo516588.htm
Bei Deinem weiten Feld und Blick auf den Taunus kommt dies noch stärker rüber. Das ist ein schönes Farbspiel mit dem Rotorange des Spargels und dem grauen Himmel, ein bißchen vom Grün und anderem unterbrochen. Wäre bestimmt was für Van Gogh gewesen.
Gruß aus Usingen, Ulf

Hi Knut

Nice horizontal layering of the different color bands of grey, blue, yellow & green wcth excellent sharpness in this attractive pastoral scene. Tfs!

colinbrenchley (6431) 2006-12-01 8:04

Knut
Agree with your comments - at times its the quality of light that can make a picture of the most boring view in the world and conversely also ruin a picture of the most fanastic place in the world!

Jedenj (275) 2006-12-02 3:23

Indeed incredible colors, making all the difference

carper (96) 2006-12-02 3:38

very nice photo Knut,
the sky and the light are the winners here, the balance is good, the lines are nice, very good job. I made a carper format for you and I hope you like it.

Hi Knut. Great photo. The low angle light and dramatic sky really make this photo stand out. Strong diagonal composition and rich colours. Thanks for sharing.
Cheers, Paul.

Bonjour, cher ami,
J'aime ce ciel, qui forme une tache d'encre de Chine, et s'ébroue au point de voir la pluie arroser ces plans d'asperge ! (si je n'avais pas regardé la note, jamais je n'aurais fait la relation avec ce légume) !
Une très belle réalisation aux superbes couleurs.
Très bonnes fêtes à toi et à ta famille mon ami Knut.
Amitiés.
Philippe

mumek (20226) 2006-12-29 13:00

Good afternoon Knut!
Fantastic warm, pastel colours in this superb composition and great contrast between dramatic clouds and the fields. Thanks for sharing
Happy New Year to you and your family

coco (30439) 2006-12-29 13:26

Hi Knut.
May be a more frontal view of the fields could be good too. Anyway, with this light and colours is not possible not have an attractive and also powerful light.

Thanks for share.

robertosalguero (292) 2007-05-17 1:42

Well I had never seen asparagus this way before. A beautiful composition with nice, natural colours. The contrast of colours and your excellent perspective of the time and place are very good. Good job Knut.
