A flight with a view, a photo from Van, East Anatolia

Photographer's Note

I took this picture just a few seconds before this one and the place is the same, Van Lake and Mount Süphan (both on top left corner) in Eastern Turkey, near the Iranian border.

Hello Laurent,

A good photograph of this well eroded landscape, and even if you were behind glass you have managed to capture a great quality of depth and distance from this point of view. What I like is the fact that the distant cloud could be mistaken for a mountain range capped with snow, with a bit of imagination. You quality in the photo allows us to see the lake beyond the hills, and with it you have captured some good vibrant colours. I may have incorporated a little more sky in the image, but I feel this is not crucial as your main focus in surely on the mountains and lake. Well presented.

This is another great aerial photo. The ground must be at very high altitude as it seams quite close to the aircraft. Excellent colours all the way up even in the misty blue area. Well done.

Hi Laurent,

this photo is perfect to see the strange relief of the land down there! From this perspective we can see the slopes with perfect lights and shadows. Wonderful "earthy" colors ...

I prefer this photo over your last post, as the ground is very interesting. So barren, there isn't anything the eye can see that would resemble civilization. A successfull shot from the airplane.

Gr., Aleksander

Laurent, un a l'impression d'une carte en relief. On voit au loin le sommet du post précédent mais ce qui est nouveau c'est le premier plan avec le POV d'aigle. Beau travail.

Cher GoogleEarth Master,
C'est ton titre qui m'a tapé dans l'oeil. Très juste et très bien trouvé !! Sinon, cette chaine de nuage déguisée en chaine de montagnes est très sympa également.
Stéphane

axiotea (21651) 2007-07-05 23:43

Hi Lo
Tu es devenu un spécialiste des photos aériennes :) ici, encore on ne peut qu'admirer le paysage bien en relief, le lac et au fond la barrière de nuages avec une excellente netteté, si l'on considère que cette photo a eté prise depuis le hublot.

Bonjour, mon ami Laurent,
La terre vue du ciel change notre regard sur celle-ci. Un pur moment de bonheur de découvrir un tel paysage.
Les reliefs montagneux sont parfaitement représentés.
Encore une très belle image.
Bravo !
Amitiés.

Hi laurent.

Excellent, excellent POV. The depth is also superb and the clouds are also lovely.

My compliments!

Bonjour Laurent
Très belle vue aérienne de ces montanges au relief bien découpé et bien visible depuis là-haut où tout prend une autre dimension.
Merci pour le partage et bonne journée.

Je n'ai jamais vu le lac Van depuis le ciel, c'est vraiment intéressant et très beau... Belle lumière et belle clarté,
Bravo,

Hi Laurent,
did you pull down the window before shoting? It is very well captured with good details and nice texture of the mountains. Well done!
Tfs and best wishes.
Attila

Emile (20352) 2007-07-06 16:07

Hola Laurent.
Nice aerial view of Turkey's mountains and the Van Lake. We can see good details including the Mount Suphan. The shadows and light on the mountains produces a good effect. Good shot.
Well done. TFS.
Cheers.

jhm (211738) 2007-07-07 1:23

Hello Laurent,

Lovely panorama view about the mountain tops, splendid relief together with soft colours.
I like the white clouds at the sky in background, very lovely view. TFS.

Good weekend,
John.

I wonder how high these mountains are. It doesn't look at all that you're at 10km altitude. The texture of the ground is almost palpable and it is nice to see the lake in the mist. By the incidence of light and knowing that you were flying southeast I have to assume that this shot must have been done somewhere around 14-17h.

syd1946 (1167) 2007-07-07 10:13

Hello Laurent,
For sure an impressive shot and composition!The never ending feeling of the perspective is what I enjoy most to your photograph.And the light,well handled adding a lot to the atmosphere with many levels till the far white clouds...

Have a nice weekend,
Thomas

Angshu (56760) 2007-07-07 11:07

Dear Laurent
Not as dramatic as your earlier two posts, but excellent nonetheless. The landscape shows marks of rivers or rivulets creating these fantastic patterns. The mountain in the BG & the clouds in the horizon are spectacular. Bravo for your research once again!
Regards
Angshu

Bonjour Laurent,
cela manque un peu de panache au niveau des couleurs et surtotu des lumières, mais j'en apprécie le contenu, détails de la croute terrestre qui si cache dans les brumes.
Belle image pour les géologues.
Excellente semaine à toi.
Daniel.

Photo65Net (43144) 2007-07-09 10:25

Laurent,
A couper le souffle ces montagnes d'Anatolie.
Les différents plans sont bien agencés, et bien sur le relief de l'avant plan est très beau.
Bien vu,
Bonne soirée,
JB.

Scharan (14144) 2007-07-09 20:31

Olá Laurent

Uma paisagem linda e muito interessante. Cores lindas, amei essa d mistura de nuances em tons de azul e verde que se misturam tão delicadamente.
Lindo trabalho.

Grande abraço,
Vera.

josepmarin (59385) 2007-07-10 8:40

Bonjour Laurent,
je me souviens de l'autre photo, et celle-ci est aussi bonne et donne une grande sensation d'altitude et de profondeur dans l'image, avec un graphisme excellent créé par le relief du terrain, et l'effet que la lumière provoque dans ses formes.
L'arrière-plan un peu gris et les nuages blancs ajoutent plus d'intérêt à cette vue aérienne si spectaculaire.
Amicalement,
Josep

Salut Laurent, great action from you to capture this very impressive landscape.
It looks as very good relief map.
Thanks very much.
