I think the exposure control has been at its best in this composition. Look at the colors and they are so very aptly saturated, a terrific balance all over this picture. The presence of this meditating human subject and the historical serenity of this place creates a silent environment...which contributes to the mood. I think I love everything of this composition, including the great details on the columns against a bright light at the background. Take my best regards, Bhabesh

it just many mosques separate between the woman and section (different room or level) - though some may not phisically separate. and if it is separated I never see man in woman section - that's why I am surprised :). maybe is not the case here.

Nick Karagiaouroglou
{K:83519} 8/30/2007

The geometry and perspective invides the spectator for a closer look here, Kiarang, and the reward for the closer look is much worthier than the admittedly fantastic lighting and coloring might suggest for themselves. I see that kind of gladness of inspecting an image, that results from a very light, almost hovering over the ground feeling, which is the result of the chosen composition itself. Perhaps the rest of the dress of the sitting person on the foreground should have been included for the sake of perfect integrity, but still the composition is great.
And again the f/22 stop made it not really easy, as I may assume, to get that sharpness of all details under that low light. BTW, did you use a tripod, Kiarang? Or else, how did you manage to keep the camera still for the long 10s of exposure?
And I go even further! Watch the perfect balance of strong lights and shadows, as it contributes immensely to that atmosphere of a happy kind of solitude! It is that balance of lighting and exposure that makes the person look almost translucent! Mastering such contradictory light conditions to that level is for itself alone a perfectness of photographic skill.
Well, Kiarang, I must take my hat off to you for this incredible image, and also ask the UF (in all respect), doesn't this one deserve a distinction at least?
Just keep it up!
Nick
P.S.: And keep it up at f/22 with hyperfocus! ;-)
P.P.S.: Any chances to let us know something more about your procedures of settings, etc, on this one?

Dear Nick! a very very good friend! thanks for all disscuss.using low shutter speed always lets the sensor to have more time to exposure and to record even little rays and reflects of the lights in the scene. so i used long shutter speed here and many of my captures to can saturate the colours in sensor, not after capturing in Photoshop or any other softwares. thanks for the complete comments. I must take my hat off for you!

Nick Karagiaouroglou

Kiarang, the same can be accomplished by a wide aperture, of course only considering light and thus also loosing details due to narow DoF, and here is where I must say that you choose the hard way that brings out the most details. (Not many people around do that nowadays, unfortunately :-()
But still, and quite out of curiosity of mine, how did you managed to have that peson on the foreground still for 10s? Did you ask her to do so? (Really impressing!)
Cheers,
Nick

Oh an enchanting shot! Love the room awash in colors. Curious where it was taken. The horizontal seem just tiny bit uneven, a quick ps rotation will get rid of that. Kiarang, Thank you so much for your kind comments on mine. Always appreciate your input.

مواج بودن همه و همه بر روی زمین بود وقتی وارد محیط شدم، وقتی به رنگارنگی اطرافم توجه کردم زیبایی آنجا مرا متحیر کرد.مرا به اوج برد.بازی رنگ ها، رقص نور، سکوت و نیایشی که در آنجا حاکم بود سکوت دل نه فقط سکوت زبان که آن نیز لازم است. آنگاه است که می توانید صدای خداوند را همه جا بشنوید در پشت درهای بسته،در کسی که به شما نیاز دارد، در پرندگان آوازخوان، در گل ها،در حیوانات این سکوت یعنی اعجاز و نیایش وقتی به پایین پایم نگاه کردم به زمینی که در آن ایستاده بودم، حرکت مواج زمین را بر آن دیدم .دیدم که چگونه شکوه و عظمت آینه ها و زیبایی اطراف در میان شکست موج ها در هم می پیچند و خرد می شوند.آری دیدم که عکس من هم در میان آنها بود. دیدم که من آدم هم با آن غرور و ایستایی در میان سایه های در هم شکسته اطراف غرق می شدم و به خود آمدم وقتی شکسته شدن خود را ببینی و وقتی که خرد شدن هر چه مایه تفاخر است را بنگری دیگر جایی برای غرور و کبر نمی ماند و چیزی نیست جز سکوت و الهه ها، چیزی نیست جز او که تنها |
