Michael Klemmer   {K:725} 8/20/2003
A very appealing and dramatic B&W image.


Marília Ferraz   {K:-4496} 8/20/2003
Nana, seus tons e texturas são já uma marca registrada para mim. Reconheço uma foto sua desde o thumbnail. Tudo é tão preciso em termos de técnica que é desnecessário falar sobre isso. No entanto, a magia é muito mais forte. Solidão de espaços imensos e silenciosos. É isto que mais me atrai no seu trabalho. Um abraço, Marília


Ayse Telci   {K:4168} 8/20/2003

samir karahoda   {K:5} 8/20/2003
its incredible.,congratulations


Marek Krol   {K:10641} 8/20/2003
One in a million cloiud formation. Looks like its erupting out of that point on the horizon. All rushing to get out into that previously empty sky. Good texture on the sand ripples too :P


Amancio Couto   {K:15720} 8/20/2003

Excelente conceito, com marca de grande qualidade.
Cumprimentos


Nana Sousa Dias   {K:263} 8/20/2003
Deniz:

The negative is very flat, I don't know what hapened here, I develop my films and, usually, I don't do this kind of mistake! Nevertheless, something went wrong, I still don't know what, maybee the film was not ok, not with this particular frame, the entire roll is flat. I agree with you, a bit more contrast, particularly on the sand, would be nice, this was printed in 5 grade filter, i printed it in a difuse light enlarger, and then in a condenser enlarger, to get a bit more contrast, but it's useless! Next time I will carry my 4x5 Wista, shoot for the shadows and develop it with N+2 expansion time, then if I want, I can reduce the contrast! ;-)


Petros Stamatakos   {K:12101} 8/20/2003
N+2??? Now there are some drastic measures! :-)

I like it as is Nana! Keep posting :-)


Patricia Eifel   {K:5097} 8/20/2003
This is a great image. Most of us would feel pretty good about having this negative (I would) but it is a bit flatter than some of your work. Maybe it would be worth trying some selenium intensification of the negative to boost contrast (particularly if you have a duplicate). I saw this done with great effect during a workshop with John Sexton. I imagine it works with tri-x as well as t-max but it would probably be best to test it out on an unimportant negative. You may already be familiar with the technique but just in case---

Nana Sousa Dias   {K:263} 8/20/2003
Thank you, Patricia! I was familiarized with the process, but I didn't tried it before, on negatives. I didn't remember I could do that! I have selenium here, in my lab, to tone the prints, I think I'm gonna try that, I have 10 frames very similar to this one, if I destroy it, I have 9 more! ;-)


Bart Aldrich   {K:7614} 8/20/2003
Exquisite, as always!


T Glow   {K:14955} 8/20/2003

Roland Le Gall   {K:7018} 8/21/2003
A miracle....Simple and beautiful picture..


Luke Luther   {K:14687} 8/21/2003
Wow, what a powerful image this is. Even if it is soft, I think the details in the image speak for the wisdom and discerning eye of the photographer. Wide sweeping desolate but moving landscape with the spray of clouds in the background reminding us of nature's awesome power to change.


Erhan Astam   {K:333} 8/21/2003
Like old Fremens said once on Arrakis,
Dune is our life, Our life belongs to it. Its lines are drawn in our hands also.
Very nice picture
congrats


Salvador Abreu   {K:731} 8/21/2003
Espantosa. Como seria de esperar, da tua parte! Uma das coisas que me impressiona mais na tua fotografia é a extrema depuração, que consegues transmitir mesmo em jpegs tão pequenos como este...


Anna Pagnacco   {K:7448} 8/21/2003
Congratulations, Nana...I am sure this will be only the first of future recognitions for your great works and talent...Anna


Wilson Junior   {K:2092} 8/21/2003
Nana, digna de primeira página.
Abraços!


peta jones   {K:12615} 8/21/2003
Congratulations Nana. Your work is spectacular. This image even if you aren't 100% happy with it, I think it is amazingly beautiful. That cloud formation is so dreamlike.


Lou Verruto   {K:1375} 8/21/2003
Only MF can give us this kind of quality..and of course a great photographer behind the camera! Congrats on this great shot and the honor of POD. Well deserved Nana.

Lou

Wow, Absolutely Wonderful!!!


Carol Watson   {K:5185} 8/21/2003
Ahhhhhh! What a thrill to see one of my favorite B/W photographers here! Welcome to UF, Nana! I look forward to seeing more of your inspiring work. Your sand dune series photos are all marvelous -- In this one, I love what the red filter does to add drama to the clouds -- one of the reasons why I've become enamoured with IR filters too.


Stefan A. F. Kassler   {K:3727} 8/22/2003
Very good photo, great shot!


Luis Vieira   {K:1772} 8/22/2003

david malcolmson   {K:4145} 9/25/2003
This is an incredibly fine landscape photo, Nana.I love the texture of the sand and the drama of the sky, and technically the image is immaculate. One for my Favoutites folder...Many thanks for your kind cooments Best wishes, David


Gianluca Gera   {K:2184} 9/25/2003
Breathtaking!


B:)liana    {K:30945} 9/25/2003
Perfect! bravo!!!


Inanc Tekguc   {K:862} 9/25/2003
lovely picture. i can hardly tell it is sand, not water.

i would have liked to see it in color instead. the contrast of the dunes' yellowish color and the blue sky with the white clouds would look nice, i imagine.


Pablo Zaremba   {K:2870} 9/25/2003
Great work !!!. Nothing more to say.
Best regards,
Pablo.


Joaquim Chitas   {K:229} 9/25/2003
Excelente foto. Parabéns pelo destaque.


Mário Sousa   {K:16985} 9/25/2003
É sempre de salutar ver destaque para um Português, sem dúvida, bem merecida, a foto já é costume ofercer-nos bons bonecos.


Diana Wiersma   {K:26404} 9/25/2003
Beautiful composition and lightning Nana, I really like the contrast between the calm patterns of the sand and the wild clouds in the sky. Great job! And ofcourse, congratulations on being photographer of the day! Well deserved. My best regards,
Diana.


Lorita Damas   {K:1035} 9/25/2003

João Morais: Eh pá, pá, você, pá, é um gajo giro, pá!!! (como diria o meu amigo Luís Villas-Boas!)


Telmo Domingues   {K:9639} 10/7/2003
Quando ouço um álbum, de seu nome Stilleto, de um autor português chamado Francis, onde sei que o Nana é interprete, é para aqui que eu vou, para dentro desta imensidão... Um pedaço de "nada" com tudo lá dentro!...
Não sei nada de técnica fotográfica mas (tenho a mania que) sei reconhecer arte quando ela por mim passa...
O resto do portfolio... bem, bem... é melhor ficar calado!
Como eu gostava de saber fotografar e compor como (acho que) sei ver e ouvir...
Saudações.


Jari Hakala   {K:253} 10/20/2003
Beautiful, stromg image.


Veríssimo Dias   {K:1531} 11/30/2003
