[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Padang is almost on the equator, (which bisects Sumatra) & is almost always perpetually hot, sunny, & steamy. The high contrast lighting is typical of tropical regions. Saturation has not been increased here. The polariser has done its work already. The graves here overlooking the Indian Ocean, are of Chinese fishermen & merchants. Taken looking towards Ayer Manis (Sweetwater) beach, in the distance.

Hi Chris,
Another fantastic photo from you. The colours are first class. May I know what scanner are you using? I have just acquired a scanner and I am still learning the ropes (my last 3 posts were from that scanner). DO you have any tips for me? Your scanned images are absolutely first rate.

Chris, There is a fact in all your shots. A DREAM covered all of them. All your shots in huge silence, and it is what I love in your shots.

A clear colourful photo as always. Stunning setting for a cementry. Hope you have a great 2006.

Doesn't look real at all. :) Simply beautiful!

It does not look like a cemetery at all! So nice with all those trees,the blue sea and the beautiful sky!...Great shot,very well composed! Michel

Beautiful shot - so "walk into", so you have achieved the desired effect of making others fell what you saw. Great
