Gone home
« on: October 08, 2015, 01:05:23 pm »

The Sacca di Scardovari, in the Po's Delta, is a very atmospheric place - the struggle between man and nature for the control of the land and water is evident at every corner, and the resulting landscape is very inspiring: at the same time, full of beauty and despair.



With the Pentax 645z and the 28-45mm f/4.5. Best,

+1 about 'dat grass', but I also love the sun rays. Beautiful photo in all aspects. Congrats.

Thank you very much everyone, I am glad you enjoyed it  :) Scardovari and all the River Po's Delta is an area of extreme contrasts and great beauty - with some peaceful scenes in between... ;)

Thanks again! Best,

The success of this photograph is in your excellent handling of the dynamic range problems introduced by shooting into the sun. You've kept that ideal balance of opened shadows in the foreground that do not look forced (which we all know would be blocked up shooting into the sun), with the brightness of the surroundings. Excellent work here!

Hello Terry, thank you very much for your comment, very much appreciated particularly because I try very hard not to let my images fall into the "obvious HDR" category which, while absolutely respectable per se, are not what I want to do at this point in my photography. I am glad you enjoyed the balance between light and shadows here, thank you very much again! :D
