voyage au centre de la terre Photo

Photographers Note

...A Journey to the Center of the Earth is a classic 1864 science fiction novel by Jules Verne. The story involves a professor who leads his nephew and hired guide down a volcano in Iceland to the "center of the Earth". They encounter many adventures, including prehistoric animals and natural hazards, eventually coming to the surface again in southern Italy. From a scientific point of view, this story has not aged quite as well as other Verne stories, since most of his ideas about what the interior of the Earth contains have since been proven wrong. It is important to note however; that much of the works of Verne were due to his personal visualization and not an attempt to create a hypothesis; and at the time of its writing there was a dearth of knowledge concerning the earth's core. However, a redeeming point to the story is Verne's own belief, told within the novel from the viewpoint of a character, that the inside of the Earth does indeed differ from that which the characters encounter...

...taken in kungsträdgĺrden metro station in stockholm, where i had been for a congress for the past week...

Wow, just looking at it makes me dizzy! SO high!
Very interesting POV~ Makes you feel like you're standing right there, waiting to go down into the pit of the earth!

ALIRIZA (16197) 2007-09-19 23:26

Merhaba Korkut,
Geometrik desenler, renkler ve yansımlarla çok hoş ve ilginç bir iç mekan çalışması. Ellerine sağlık...
Selamlar...

broglia (3351) 2007-09-19 23:36

So many great elements here, the chequer board ceiling, the horizontal black boards, and that huge red stripe - reflected in the stainless steel. Excellent composition with that un-nerving tilt and the scary POV. Marvellous, Roberto

Bonjour,
Cadrage tout ŕ fait surprenant.
Bonne journée.

Hi Korkut,
Great visual impact. All the diagonal lines and red effect light on otherwise B&W scene is original. Tilt adds dynamism.

merhaba korkut bey
öyle bir açıyla çekmişsinizki insan buradan bakınca müthiş bir derinlik görüyor.renk kombinasyonları,geometrik desenler ve yansımalar ile gerçekten mükemmel bir kare elinize sağlık.

Kuş çekmemişsin ama kuşbakışı çekmişsin. Tabak gibi memlekette baya derinlere inme ihtiyacı duymuşlar demek ki. Kırmızı ve yansıması güzel, tilt güzel, odaklanan zemin noktasının yeri güzel, grafik güzel...

siolaw (25824) 2007-09-20 0:27

Hi Korkut,
An impressive view down the escalator with blurred steps indicating it is moving... nice tight crop, good light management and colors.The tilt gives a special atmosphere... maybe some people down there would have been nice too!
Greetings
Laurent

smarcell (14619) 2007-09-20 0:33

A very nice POV. I feel the sensation of falling down, when watching the picture. I like the tilted view and the red bands, which give color to the picture.
Do you have a version also with some human figure (not too big) on the stairs ? I wonder if it is better or not including a human figure.

faubry (32409) 2007-09-20 1:22

very nice and amazing image, beautiful color graphic, impressionnant down.. superb
francine

LamCam (3603) 2007-09-20 1:29

Hello Korkut
This is a stunning image which draws us down into it. Very disturbing!
The composition is perfect and the black, white and red adds to the impact.
The WS shot has great impact too, but on the main picture I think anything that obscured, or distracted from, the focal point would be a mistake.
Best wishes Maggie

barrufeto_77 (25931) 2007-09-20 1:30

Hi korkut.

Amazing? Hypnotic? Great? All that things and lovely compo of course!

Rgs, Oscar

Sekhmet73 (4133) 2007-09-20 3:11

Oh dear, these escalators are so impressive, I always have the feeling to fall down. I found one in Budapest that goes under the Danube, and it's simply terrible!! Like this one, you feel as you were falling somewhere...
Sabrina

dip (12828) 2007-09-20 3:47

Wow what a composition Korkut!!!
Excellent colours combination,great perspective and POV,a superb shot!
very well done,
regards,Dimitris.

mesutilgim (37234) 2007-09-20 3:54

Selam sevgili Korkut,
Bu da alışılmışın çok dışında bir bakış açısı ! Ve çok da iyi bir kompozisyon. Renkler, ışık dengeleri herşey harika.
Sana bir de sır vereyim bu arada; benim üç torunumdan en büyüğü olan Ayşe'ye (9) zaman zaman basit bir digital kamera veriyorum. Ve muhteşem sonuçlar çıkıyor ortaya. Bir kere boyu kısa olduğu için, bizlerin kolay ulaşamadığı bir perspektiften çekiyor resimleri.
Sonra da kamerayı ille tam 180 derecede veya 90 derecede tutma gibi bir zorlama içine girmiyor, ve bütün kareler hafifçe bir tarafa kayık çıkıyor, ama ne kareler ! Utanmasam birini kendi imzamla koyacağım bu siteye !!

Tebrikler, selam ve sevgilerle
MESUT ILGIM

Hi Korkut,
This is a very impressive and exciting image, POV is fantastic. I like the attractive and spectacular details, lights are superb. Refined and particular work, Great! Have a nice day
George

BrianGraney (1734) 2007-09-20 4:42

An interesting and creative shot - colours, shapes and perspective all combine to make a great photo.
I would like to see a version with a figure at the bottom of the escalator maybe to give some perspective, but this is one to be proud of!
Cheers
Brian

PixelTerror (86763) 2007-09-20 4:58

Merhaba Korkut,
Yeah I see you're working on your french, possibly considering joining the next TE meetings here ;-)
The perspective is superb and the rendering of this indoors photo very nice, also very well fitting to a sci-fi novel, even though by this time it probably would have all appeared a bit more rustical, I like it a lot.
Have a nice day,
jean-Yves

syd1946 (17957) 2007-09-20 5:44

Geia sou Korkut!
It looks really like an entrance to the vast earth in more "digital" way.I like also the workshop with the people made your presentation more interesting togther with the inspired note!

Ta leme filaraki,

doubay (5043) 2007-09-20 7:50

Hi Korkut!

I see that you picked out a photo which reflects perfectly the specific beauty and particular highlights of Stockholm. This place is indeed very characteristic and unique and can certainly not be found in any other city. :-DDD
You make me jealous. We have plenty of metro stations with escalators like this, but I did not have the idea to take such a shot. Damn! Now its too late, I lost the chance. Its really a very aesthetical, urbanistic reference to the geology of Jule Vernes. POV and framing are here the undoubtedly the key players which generate the fascination of this image. To capture the escalator with such an unreal steep angle was a fantastic idea.

Although I generally prefer images with people, in this case I think that the version without looks better.

Cheers
Andreas

Gerrit (36191) 2007-09-20 9:04

Wow,Korkut.
it looks dangerous indeed.Great perspective jokeand fantastic colours too.

Sevgili Korkut,

Bizim mehmet emin'in yazdigi bir kritikten alinti yapma ihtiyacini duyuyorum " O ne cuzel derinluk" :)
Renk, detay, kompozisyon ve haaa o derinluk ile iyi dusunce, guzel paylasim... tebrikler

pboehringer (770) 2007-09-20 18:55

Korkut,
A quite interesting graphical image that didn't make any sense as a thumbnail. Yet the feast of colors made me open it and finally the main post shows all the madness of lines, geometric forms and colors. What a daring architecture to blend all this together. The slow shutter giving the slight blur of the yellow line was a great add to it!
Regards, Peter

utkue (3420) 2007-09-20 22:01

Merhaba Sevgili Korkut,
İşte seninle aramızdaki fark bu, ben yürüyen merdivenlerde makinamı çıkarmayı bile akıl edemem, sen sadece akıl etmekle kalmamışsın çekip birde TE'te yüklemişsin.
Ayrıca renkleri ve derinlik duygusuyla çok da güzel ve etkili olmuş.
Tebrikler ve ellerine sağlık.

kdialyna (3068) 2007-09-20 23:54

Many times when I am in an underground station and I go down with the rolling stairs, I think the same thing as you .
Travel in the centre of earth or to the ...hell.
Exceptional the way you made the photo, makes more intense the effect.
Very impressively your workshops too.
I wish you a nice weekend my friend
Kostas

riclopes (33121) 2007-09-21 1:30

hahahahaha, thanks for making me laugh so loud in the morning, with this brilliant note of yours, Korkut. Superb capture that should go to the cover of your book - you must sell your story! :))) The alternative in WS is also a stunning perspective...I might like this one more just because of the curved handrail and the presence of the venturesome people, but I'm not sure. Very creative and funny work.
All the best,
ricardo

jhm (83254) 2007-09-21 4:15

Merhaba Korkut,

Also your both WS are very nice and good of quality.
What a depth this is not good for people with fright.
Very nice picture as well as colours as composition. Very well done.

Have a nice weekend,
John.

sebinho342 (18776) 2007-09-21 5:39

Hi Korkut, ohhh i've seen your new picture intro and the WS on isa's picture, great, beautiful baby :))
A pleasure to see you writing a french title, from such a famous book, yes this fits perfectly the mood of this picture, I love it, falling perspective as if we were falling into earth center.
Very nice
I would have perhaps focused more on this perspective : do this little thing (as i can't submit more WS) : scroll down this picture in order to crop half of the picture in horizontal way, then put your hands on right side of the picture and on the left side ... you will focused on what i would have shot in that situation ;)
Excellent, graphical as i like

setenay (7604) 2007-09-21 5:40

Merhabalar,
Herşeyden önce dünya tatlısı Kuzey bebeğiniz için eşini ve seni kutluyorum,ömrü uzun ve şansı bol olsun.Bu sıradışı ve çarpıcı kareni dün gördüm yazma fırsatı bulamadım.Fotoğraflarında sanatsal özelliklerin giderek daha hakim olduğunu görüyoruz.Kendi adıma, basamaklardaki hareketin çok güzel algılanması ve sarı çizgiler, duvarlardaki posterler,önde inenlerin, derinliği çok daha güzel göstermesi ve mekan detaylarının,renklerin harika görünümü ile tercihim WS.tan yana.Her ikisi için tebrikler.İsveç manzaralarını heyecanla bekliyorum.Selamlar

Merhaba Sevgili Korkutcan,
çok güzel bir çalışma ve düşünce. derinlik hissi harika olmuş. merdivenlerin hareketi pozlamaya dayanamamış hareket hissi kuvetli.

This is very confusing. It's like I'm going into the deep...:))
Nice thing you did!! I like the movement of the stairs a lot. Scary...!!

gurselerdener (972) 2007-09-21 22:08

Merhaba Sevgili Korkut Bey,
Bu ad bu fotografa çok yakışmış, derinliği 40-50 metre var gibi görünüyor.
Workshoptakilerden en altta olan sanki daha etkili olabilirmiydi diye geçiriyorum aklımdan ama tercihe saygımıda iletiyorum hemen.
Derinlik duygusu ve renkleriyle harika bir fotograf olduğunu hemen söyleyebilirim.
Ellrinize sağlık ve tebrikler.

Merhaba,
Çok ilginç ve bir okdar da güzel bir bakış açısıyla harika bir kompoisyon çıkartmışsın. Duvarda ki renkler ve merdivende ki sarı şeritler fotoğrafa harika bir güzellik ve güç katmış. Ellerine sağlık Duman:)

carper (65566) 2007-09-21 23:44

Amazing POV and perspective in this one, I like how you caught the depth, it really seems to lead us to the Verne's earth center :o)

ribeiroantonio (21963) 2007-09-22 4:53

This is all about a graphical picture of a very normal daily life scene. Escalators are part of our lives and yet nobody really takes care looking at those strange things. And now, they are going deeper and deeper, as you say, to the center of the earth! I really enjoy the black and white checkers, the red walls and the fine yellow lines. So, colour is the other main feature in your photo. Well done.
I also have an escalator in my gallery, but in my photo the guy is about to go up. It is much less scary!!!
Antonio

Graal (58650) 2007-09-22 23:08

Hi Korkut,
good shot, interesting theme, fine palette of colours and perspective. I like photos in WS also. Good work.

papagolf21 (56697) 2007-09-23 0:48

Bonjour, cher Korkut,
J'approuve totalement votre façon de photographier, il existe une sorte de "patte" particuličre qui fait le bonheur des lecteurs. J'aime votre éclectisme et votre regard sur le monde qui nous entoure.
Cette photo ne fait pas exception, et je dis bravo !
Amitiés.
Philippe

batalay (21166) 2007-09-23 0:56

Merhaba Korkut,

This is an extraordinarily long escalator, unless you've emplyed an extremely wide angle lens that has magnified the distance, it appears as long as one in Moscow and another in London that I remember well as being unusually long. The colors and reflections make this one rather futuristic, evocative of the note you've added about Jules Verne's classic.

Selam ve sevgiler, Korkut,

Bülent

vinicio (22428) 2007-09-23 1:05

Excellent image, I like the lacks of references, the down may is the up and the left the right, colors are amazing, well done Korkut, compliments.
Ciao
Vinicio

atus (15476) 2007-09-23 1:53

Hello Korkut,
the vertigo effect of this pic is impressive. The pov is excellent and the futuristic texture and graphism in combination with the red fence and its reflection is fantastic. Very good idea, my friend! Tfs and have a nice Sunday!
Attila

feather (50078) 2007-09-23 2:10

This is very scary. I've never been a fan of tilt but when I compare it with the WS this one does have more impact. The tilt allows you to show the red reflection in the other side of the barrier which is better for balance. Very sharp with clean lines. Well done

A plunging picture with enormous dynamism and bursts of strong colors. A real masterpiece - Izzet Keribar

NeilShaw (40) 2007-09-26 14:09

A well-observed, disconcerting shot. The angled composition makes it more unsettling. You've done well to keep the focus sharp; the blurred escaltors just heighten the sense of danger and vertigo.

berek (28989) 2007-09-27 20:56

Excellent done! TFS!

Emiel_Skyfreak (2976) 2007-10-04 13:10

Hmm I like your photo's from Sweden man..I see you had a congress there..I figured so allready :)

Good work..the patter of black on white on top..and the yellow lines on the sides of the stairs of this role staircase..and the red on the side..interesting mixture creating interesting patterns and a total graphical photo. Good colours, clean and sharpness is fine. Nice!

noborders (14201) 2007-10-04 21:24

This is absolutely "renversant", it takes some time to figure out why the ceiling is so low and your WS is of course explaining further - I thought that Moscow had some of the highest running stairs (forgot the name in English), but this could be even longer ; beautiful colours too...
Congratulations,
Cath.

Türkiye'yi dünya platformunda başarıyla temsil ettiğin için ayrıca teşekkürler ...Altın madalyanı hazırlatıyorum , sana takacağım yok istersen 5'i biryerde takayım...
Şu an yazamıyorum hala kareye bakıyorum...
Muhteşem ötesi...

Adrique (579) 2008-09-18 5:04

Hello Korkut, I like very much this intense and extraordinary photography. The unusual combination of patterns and vivid colors create an interesting graphical impression. The tilted POV and motion blur on the escalator steps adds dynamism.
Really a great work.

Best regards,
Adrian
