Avant l'orage, a photo from Aquitaine, West

Photographer's Note

Generally, when the weather is bad, we stay at home. It's a mistake because you can take unusual pictures with stunning lights early in the morning. There is no wind for the moment on the Arcachon bay, no wave at the water surface, but it will change in a few minutes. Thankfully, my car was not parked far away from this spot!

Hi Claude

Very moody image with superb lighting, really captures the sense of an impending storm. The reflections in the water and the boat in the foreground help give a sense of scale.

Regards

salut Claude,
superbe !
belle utilisation des 幨幦ents m彋廩rologiqies donnant un c矌� dramatique au bassin.
la lumi鋨e et les couleurs sombres font impression.
beau travail de reflet.
et une belle composition notamment avec cette barque perdue au mileu des nuages dirait-on.

Salut Claude
O� 彋ais tu pendant l'orage :)
Bel effet dramatique qui me fait fr幦ir
Avec un 嶰lair ce serait un scoop, mais c'est une question de chance
Bien cordialement

Salut cher Clodo

I do not often see seascapes from you, but from this can say that you are skilled also in this genre of photography. The dark caste to the photo contributes beautifully to the mood. The sun has been managed superbly and those reflections (particularly the pastel ones on the right) make a wonderful contrast to the rest of the dark menacing image. Lovely shot, so peaceful and quiet.

Bonne amiti廥 et belle journee

Hello Claude,

You're capturing well this seascape by a good composition and excellent tone, so it's interesting and impressive to see calm sea before storm. The thick clouds give a strong impact in this image, and it's effective for the light at ceneter right. Good reflection and light control. And, a blue boat floating on the sea and two cottage draw out good effects. This is a photograph as a painting.
Have a nice day.

Kind regards,
mikio
