of coffees and lakes, a photo from Karditsa, Thessaly

Photographer's Note

lake Plastira in Thessaly, Greece is a wonderful place to visit and photograph and there are a lot of pictures around to prove it.
my picture may not give you a proper idea of the lake's beauty but it certainly reminds me of how much i enjoyed this coffee that morning last February ;)
thank you :)

it has that cinnematic feeling, i like it alot. It's nice to see "things" thru other prespectives and not only the usual portrait or landscape shot.

Interesting use of the fisheye here Kostas. I love how you've included a lot of detail in this photo, from the man's expression, his gaze out into the country and also the detail of the cup of coffee. This is a great shot and I look forward to seeing more of your work!

A really nice extreme, exagerated and angled view. The detail is excellent and good inclusion of the outdoors. The image gives a good perspective of what the guy is experiencing.
Cheers Grant

Γειά σου Κώστα

Πραγματικά πρέπει να είναι απόλαυση η Λίμνη τον χειμώνα και ο καφές εκεί. Εγώ την επισκέφτηκα καλοκαίρι (15 Αυγούστου).

Η φωτό σου έχει ενδιαφέρουσα γωνία λήψης και όμορφα χρώματα. Καλή συνέχεια.

Μπάμπης

Γεια σου Κώστα,
μου αρέσει η γωνία λήψης σου. Ο καφές δείχνει πράγματι προκλητικός...και η θέα αν και σε ένα ιδιαίτερο πλάνο εξαιρετική!Μεταφέρεις με τόοση επιτυχία την ηρεμία και την απόλαυση της στιγμής.
Σε χαιρετώ

Well I don't drink coffee nor smoke, but I certainly do appreciate what you've done with this image. Its great to get these photographs of landmarks done in a different manner or perspective, and you've nailed it here.

Hello Kostas,

Un POV original avec l'utilisation judicieuse de la diagonale, j'aime le traitement couleurs, l'atmosphère du lieu.

Regards,
Stéphanie.

hello Kostas,

I like the view with the fisheye. You used it very well, very interesting image. Great sharpness too, although i'm a heavy fan of blur :)

hey! Cool picture, I like the unusual viewpoint. One small comment could be the lens standing by the window.

Hi Kostas,

Another great image by yourself. Great use of DOF, how did you get the person to sit still for 1/2 a second!

You have captured the emotion of the situation nicely, the person in deep thought, half finished coffee, cigarettes.

TFS. Cheers Jamie.
