dragon above the people Photo

Photographers Note

bamako, point G, national stadium, it was build for big event such a "Africa Cup 2002", and the cost was around 200 mln$ - which is more than the whole-year budget on education in that country;
when there's a show a lot of people come to seat on the line of the escarpment; view is absolutely gorgeus;

Another fantastic image Slawek - the composition is perfect - great positioning of the guy within the frame and a really good exposure - that camera was really working for you!! The light works really so well = a very nice creative observation.

best wishes kev

Perfect exposure for this shot. Very interesting composition too. I like the soft pink light from the sunset on the side of the man's head.

startacked (1286) 2006-04-28 7:24

This is beautiful. Sharp from the front to the back. Nice lightening. Excellent job Slawek!

Facsi (212) 2006-05-11 7:56

Very good shot, particular point to view a match! It's cheaper than go into the stadium but dificult to read the name on the back of players :)
TFS, Bye!

Witaj Slatej:
This is quite an amazing capture, the composition showing this wishful espectator and the gleamy stadium at the back is excellent, really nice use of light. Also its amazing how they have prioratized the building of such a stadium considering the other priorities the country has.

I love photos like this that give you a true insight into what being there and living in a far off place is like, beyond the postcard and guidebook views. Nice work.

banyanman (7737) 2006-11-29 13:26

Hi Slawek. I know there's not much I can add to all the critiques you have received for this image so far, but it is one that I really couldn't go past - a superb POV to provide a surprising view over Bamako, perfectly composed and excellent control of the light. Cheers . . . David

Slawek zginal tragicznie w nocy 8/9 grudnia 2008.
Odszedl z tego Swiata, tuz przed wyjazdem na wyprawe przez Afryke - "Sladami Kazimierza Nowaka"...

Niech spoczywa w spokoju...
