Photographer's Note
Another ordinary shot taken 0530 hrs about life at Martapura River:
This was the shooting place I waited for a while in the pitch dark waiting for daybreak. Gradually the luminosity of a new day came followed by the lovely sunrise, riots of colours on the waterway, hive of activity and it's so fascinating when the early morning light gave the scene a timeless quality.
This is the culture of the local bustling floating market which last only for about two hours, it's so full of life and atmosphere still untouched by outsiders that remain barely undetected by tourists radar.
One thing for sure is that, they colour to beautify my Monday blues :-)

Hello Abmdsudi ,
Ordinary scene for the locals ...but fascinating for most of us .
What a gorgeous composition ! The ssubject is superb , with all these littel boats full of colors , but with this sky and this wonderful light , that becomes a outstanding picture .

Hello Abmdsudi
Your polarizer has done wonders for the sky, and has also helped to saturate the foreground colours too I suspect. As for your comment about an "ordinary" photograph, I just wish my average efforts were half this good. But I'm not great at getting up that early...
Regards

Hello Abmdsudi,
An extremely colourful market on the water: the boats are colourful as well as the clothes of the people and the goods sold.
All this under a remarkable morning light.
Best regards, Paul

Hello Abmdsudi
There is absolutely nothing ordinary about this colorful scene. It is a strong composition with lots of interesting details, wonderful colors and very well framed with the boats growing gradually smaller as they disapear to the background.
have a great day

Hi abmdsudi,
Now, I understand being a photographer is not a easy job...
You are showing us a vivid life in Indonesia. Asia is a large continent. Different parts of Asia are not the same at all. I wouldn't imagine this morning scene happening in China somewhere.
As always, Your pictures are very much enjoyable.

Hi Abmdsudi,
what a fantastic remedy against a Monday Blues! You are right, the harmony of the colors is amazing. And the management of the early morning light is excellent. I must admit that this wonderful image cheered up my heart on a dull Monday as well!

Ciao Abmdsudi
una fot meravigliosa.
I colori sono straordinari per effetto della luce molto intensa che colpisce l'acqua.
La composizione inoltre mette in evidenza il dinamismo che proviene dal movimento delle barche che riempiono il fotogramma.
Un contrasto ed una nitidezza eccellente rendono straordinaria la ripresa.
Complimenti.
Ciao e buon inizio di settimana

Hello Abmdsudi,
What a wonderful daily life scene, so picturesque and full of interesting and colourful details. The dramatic darkening clouds add a lot of contrast with the bright colours of people's clothes. The boats in the FG create an interesting pattern that leads the eye into the rest of the image. It was really worth getting up early !
Kind regards,
Christian

Hello Abmdsudi,
I love your dynamic composition and the way you exalted it with a well considered framing. The depth is superb, boats and clouds seem to converge towards the middle of the frame and the sense of movement is thus enhanced. The warm, bright colours are so attractive, the sky reflected in the water illuminates the frame in an original and delightful way. I like very much the combination of the dynamic movement with the warm morning light, it signifies the beginning of the new day and the explosion of human activity. Congratulations and thank you!
All the best, have a great day,
Ourania

Hello Abmdsudi,
This looks so well arranged, with such perfectly handled light and such stunning colours that it looks like a shot from a big-budget movie. What an overwhelming sight. What a joy to be a photographer at that moment. You have showed us some marvellous places and this has to be one of the most interesting.
Kind regards,

Hello Abmdsudi,
truly spectacular composition!
I just love the color schem of it.The upper part with dark,grey clouds and the rest so colorful and vivid.Magnificent contrast between these parts of the image.
Looks almost like a painting.
But apart from the colors I like one detail more,namely the wate surface.Not only the reflections,but moreover the way it illuminates the light(for me it looks fabulous!)
Kind regards

Hola Abmdsudi
This early scene deceived to be waited as you did, and the sun sets and the daily life activity began and you were there, almost unnoticed in a non turistic place
Then the colors of the sky, quite impesives as sometines happens at the begining of a day
And finally the splash of colors given by people (mainly women it seems) and the boats
Clever and well composed capture,a pleasure to watch
Have a great week
Maria
Thanks for your comments

Eye-popping colours add to the festive looking DL scene here Abmdsudi and although this is a daily activity to my eyes it looks so exotic . I love the light in this shot, there is a really magical luminosity as it reflects off the water. Warm regards rosemary

Hi Abmdsudi,
You have made a good attempt here, choosing to go in tight on the tree boats in foreground. The composition works well, and the focus with deep DOF draws the attention not only to these boats but also to the other smaller boats behind. The boats are very well-exposed in superb warm light. Excellent colourful photo. Well done.
Greetings

Hi Abmdsudi
Look at that color, and look at that sky! My eyes don't know where to look first, as there is so much to take in with this beautiful scene. I can honestly say that my Monday mornings do not look like this :)
Your patience in waiting for this scene has paid off perfectly, what a superb result. To my eyes, this is another world, and a wonderful one to be able to share through your shot.
All the best

Hi Abmdsudi
great shot!
I feel as if i'm right down in the boat with them.
was this take from a pier? or from inside a boat?
and do they always get ready so early in the morning too?
love the low perspective that goes on for infinity.
superb colors and sweet early morning light.
its a beauty
cheers

Somehow I still can't comprehend the idea of market on the river but I suppose it's workable as shown in this image. People are so innovative and creative in their approach to life. Nicely captured with good lighting and sharp details. Love the colors. Well done, tfs.

Hi Abmdsudi,
You're capturing well this scene by a good angle and excellent tone, so it's impressive to see water market which sells fruits and vegetables by using boat. There are many colorful boats on the river. It's also impressive in color contrast of the river, boat, tree and sky. And, the reflection of boat projected to the river draws out a good effect.
Kind regards,
mikio

I think a good portion of quality photography depends on being at the right place at the right time. Your efforts to be there at the crack of dawn paid off and you got yourself an outstanding photo.

PS. I just noticed "Singapore" in your "about" page, did you move from UAE to Singapore?

Dear Abmdsudi
There is nothing ordinary about this shot. It's exquisite. It has a different atmosphere to your other water shots and perhaps the light was not as helpful to you. But I still like it a lot, particularly the reflections and the coloured boats with their characteristic ferrymen. The sky is so unusual and I love your POV. It looks like they're all heading towards you, to take Poll Position in the photo.
Warmest wishes

Hi Abmdsudi,
the light of the early morning offers us a vivid colours, which provide a great visual power in this composition.
I like the vital atmosphere of this floating market, very traditional and without tourists, and the depth of the image, with a gorgeous cloudy sky in background.
The ensemble is fantastic, you have created a beautiful photo.
Friendly regards,

This is a Bright and Colourful photograph.
The colours are strongly saturated and with the perfection of sharpness and clarity, the scenery takes on a astonishing tone and flamboyance. I would have liked to be on a balloon over this to get a top view.
The sky with a variety of shades of blue adds to the dimension of this photograph. Its a feast of colours enhanced by the shimmering reflections in the water.
Thanks for sharing, abmdsudi.

Hello Abmdsudi,
Fantastic catch on photo, my friend - the stream of boats filled with goods to be sold on the market, gave the river a stunning "flow" of colors. Amazing sense of dynamism, and managed superbly the morning light under partly cloudy sky's.
