Hi Annick. This is one of the most dramatic picture i have seen on TN. This looks straight out of a film set. The light is sureal once in a life time picture and you have captured it perfectly . very well done TFS.

Hi Annick,

The only word for this scene is spectacular. You have captured the drama perfectly. The colors are outstanding - the effect is dynamic. The picture is so well balanced - a wonderful work of art.

Hello Annick !
Wow, splendid moment you have captured here - I love the contrast between the warm light on the right side, and the dark clouds on the left side. It's really a dramatic scene, it must have ben great to watch it - you're so lucky ! :-) Very well done !

Hi Annick,
an awesome and evocative landscape, showing nature at it's primitive best. Very well composed with excellent exposure...all this talk of apple pie is making me hungry :o)

Hi Annick,
Very beautiful landscape, like you say it is a scene directly from a movie screen, very unreal. Great POV, composition, DOF, very beautiful colours and lighting.

Bonjour Annick
Cette photo est trés jolie, j'aime beaucoup la composition et les couleurs de ce magnifique paysage qui annonce une belle tempêtre.. Belle profondeur de champ, avec un joli fond qui met bien le cette scêne en valeur. De bons détails également. Bien joué et bravo...JP

What an amazing scene and photo record of it. It is just wonderful... the light, the silhouetted shapes, the yellow in the foreground that ties with the yellows in the sky, the light! Was there any lightning associated with these downpours?
I really like the poster-like presentations you have been using.

I've never associated Namibia with apple pie. TN is so informative!!

Hello Annick,
Beautiful landscape shot. The scene looks magnificent.No wonder you felt like you were in a theater. one can easily imagine camera panning to focus on the hero riding on the horseback.;) Really, beautiful place and you have captured it with excellent eye.Thanks for the share,
Smitha.

hello Annick

For once, I would not mind the dark tone.

Simply amazing moment of nature that inspires even the least appreciative people.

Now who can say this is less nature than a wildlife or flower or insect?

Excellent work.

Hi Annick

Another very unique presentation from you, my friend!
This Namibian trip of yours seem to have been completely different than the KNP one...you have some much more of these closed-in landscapes which i'm sure can make amazing prints or calendars (not that your animals shots can't...but there are a bit rarer i think).
This, too, is a magnificent phenomenon captured here, framed superbly and exposed perfectly.
The dynamic range here is amazing, too - reaching from those VERY dark clouds to those light blues - without having to overexpose any of them.
Very good work with the colors and perspective, as well.

Bravo and TFS

Hallo Annick,
Wat een schitterende en indrukwekkende foto. Fantastische kleuren. Het bovenste deel van de foto met de rolwolken is helemaal indrukwekkend. Was dit geen zandstorm? Wij zijn daar toen door zo'n storm gereden. Van het ene op het andere moment was het zicht volledig weg, tot we er doorheen waren, want toen was de lucht weer helemaal blauw.
Jij hebt het in elk geval perfect op de foto staan.
Groet,
Peter

Indeed there is always room for an apple pie...but before Solitaire, there was another delicious thing waiting...Naukluftberge...And thank you for sharing this amazing scene Annick...theatrical, magical, ethereal, call it what you may...this was one timed up just so that you may capture it in the most magnificent PoV and compelling composition.The layers of lighting and hues unfolding in the atmosphere, the dark sky and looming clouds as if heaven almost came down and the stretch of land ahead...each element works fantastically ...
This is truly an "unforgettable" image and i would love to add this to my theme "unforgettable".I look forward to your scape photography in 2009 as much as your wildlife works.
Wish you and family a peaceful and healthy 2009
Cheers

Un grand merci et mes meilleurs voeux pour 2009

Hi Annick,
I have missed many of your last posts. This outstanding! You did great by capturing the scene as I imagined it was in real! Colors and breathtaking and you chose perfect exposure. I understand that Namibia could be a photographer's dream!

Hello Annick
it seems nearly that the sky is in order to fall down pulling down itself on the earth burned from the sun. Very beautiful the dark tonalities that contrast with the blue of the sky on the background.
Great capture
Livio
