... sky ..., a photo from Attiki, Attica

Photographer's Note

Few minutes after the sunset, the sky over Athens was incredible. I took this shot from the rooftop of my house.

I hope you like.

Very nice and dramatic sky. Is there any post-processing?

quantabeh (5205) 2005-05-09 17:32

wow, truly ingenious. One of the nicest cloud/sunset picture I have ever seen. Superb contrast/exposure work, John. congrats on a fine job!
(I predict this one will reach a 100 pts in less than 5 days :)

Hi John,
This is Michel Angelo. The sky to be seen on the great renaissance painting. There must be some angles somewhere on this picture.

Εκπληκτική Γιάννη! Φαίνεται ότι το Σαββατοκύριακο ο ουρανός της νότιας Ελλάδας ήταν γεμάτος εκπλήξεις! :) Απίστευτος ουρανός!

duder (359) 2005-05-09 18:47

This is a gorgeous shot, the contrast is amazing and the exposure is perfect, with the silhouettes appearing very dark and the light from the sun appearing bright but still with plenty of discernible color. The texture on the clouds is amazing, and so is the deep blue of the sky behind them. Great work!

Wow, John, you have a great view from your house. This is a dramatic sunset scene. An excellent capture. You have done a great job to show the sunset while the blue sky an the clouds are showing nicely and clearly. The silhouette view of the mountain range made an excellent frame to this picture. Well done.

Bonjour John
Un ciel dramatique magnifique qui donne l'impression que les Dieux de l'Olympe vont exprimer leur colčre.
Un cadrage trčs intéressant.

Hello John
A splendid dramatic sky which gives the impression that Gods of Olympe will express their anger. A very interesting framing.

jpages (1670) 2005-05-16 5:28

Hi Ioannis, I have seen your TE page for the first time, and this one has impressed me a lot. Its light, the perfect black silhouette of these mountains and the colour of the clouds are really very amazing, incredible and impressive! They seem they are alive!
I suppose you were waiting the sunset, enjoying this great sky very busy this day! You did it very very well!
Best regards from Barcelona and TFS!
Jaume

robiuk (10807) 2005-05-16 14:05

Hi John,
If this wasn't TE, I would have thought it's about some surreal oil painting of even more surreal sunset.
What to say... incredible! I'm glad you were at home when this sky happened and took your camera to document this natural phenomena!
Thank you very much for sharing, John - it's beautiful!
Robi

Ulises (1026) 2005-05-24 21:20
