G O O D . M O R N I N G . A N G K O R, a photo from Siem Reab, West

Photographer's Note

Watching the sunrise over Angkor Wat is a virtual pre-requisite of any visit to Siem Reap and mine was no different. Sunrise at Angkor has been well documented on TE, yet I decided to go ahead with this post at the risk of being termed clichй. It is an experience which is difficult to describe as I am sure all those who have been witness to this magical experience would agree.
It was 4.45 in the morning when I climbed aboard a 'tuk-tuk' and we were off. Despite the early hour and the darkness, the streets were already alive with procession of locals making their way into the temple complex by bicycle. The cool breeze helped to wake me up as we drove along the seven kilometre road to the temples. I was one of the first to arrive as the security guards opened the gate for the day. I settled myself on the stairway. Before me lay the inner courtyard with a 350 metre long paved walkway leading to the central complex, where the sun was due to rise above the five massive towers. However, at the time of my arrival, none of this was visible. I waited patiently as tourists began to trickle in. As dawn broke I realised there was some cloud cover behind Angkor which proved to be a blessing in disguise, providing more variation in terms of colour and sky patterns. I changed position to photograph the rising sun from different angles with the changing colours, luminance and the silhoutte it provided. As I said, words can never do justice to the whole experience. I hope my photographs in someway compensates. This is almost as I saw it, not much post processing except sharpening and contrast adjustment.

Your note is exceptionally good. It really gives the right mood before I dived into your photograhy. I wish your picture could take my whole screen or even better being there at your side when you where there. Only then the shot starts breathing and whispering the marvels that lives at this magical place.
Wonderful work, Sabyasachi.

pastadog (13111) 2006-11-26 16:55

Superb shot, Sabyasachi!!! I like how you composed asymmetrically, even with 2 tall trees on left and one on right, the black and orange is a spectacular winning combination here; a bit oversharpened IMHO; congratulations! Regards, Daniel

Exceptional shot. So grammatical. The composition is so balanced, nice warm tonality of colour. A different look of Angor.
Well done.

singuanti (15250) 2006-11-26 22:30

Hi Sabyasachi. That place sure looks like a slice of heaven to me. The silhouettes against the warm sky are spectacular. A reflection can't really get much better than that. Awesome work Sabyasachi!

Hi Sabya,
It seems a painting. Superb play of the light and shadows here. Very nice reflections on the water.
TFS and have a nice weekend,
Aires

jinju (14265) 2006-11-27 3:26

Well, this is certainly a dramatic photograph Sabya. I love even more than the colros, which are great, the effect the silhoetting has produced, in that the photo is flattened to eliminate all feeling of depth. You put the horizon bang on in the middle, from what i read this is a no no (hahahah rules, who needs them) but it sure doesnt feel like a no-no to me, the image is well ebalnced between the reflecton and the real temple.

delkoo (68) 2006-11-27 3:31

Hello Sabyasachi
I missed sunrise in Angkor & now I know what I missed. The saturated colours are awesome. I like the composition with the distinctive merus off-centre...and I think I can see the lilies too in the pond. The reflections, mirror like is fantastic

I've seen a lot of photos of this amazing place on this site, but none which show it with such simplicity and elegance.
I like the well balanced symmetry, and how the sky is almost a perfect match for it's reflection in terms of brightness.
Excellent.
Cheers,

jhm (211734) 2006-11-27 8:42

Hi Sabyasachi,

Very contrasted picture, maybe a little bit dark, but excellent mirror picture, the colours and the silhouttes does justify your words, very well done! Thanks for sharing.

Have a nice day,
John.

ChrisJ (171302) 2006-11-27 8:47

Hi Sabyasachi

Perfect synmmetry & marvellous colour. One minor criticism is the very slight, almost negligible oversharpening. Apart from that it's flawless!

zeca (19762) 2006-11-27 9:44

Wow! What a nice shot, Sabyasachi! Beautiful colours, doubled! The silhouettes are sharp and great. Well done pp!

pasternak (15185) 2006-11-27 12:28

The colour tones make this a masterpiece, together with the clarity and symmetry of the reflection. Excellent double silouette of the complex, and it is fantastic how the sillouettes of the trees work to frame it.

Hello Sabyasachi,

The sky and the water are both on fire at sunset, and I imagine the mood will be different throughout the day. In this fabulous composition, you have presented not one, but two photographs. Warm regards, Bulent

Vato_Law (12732) 2006-11-27 16:45

Hello Sabyasachi,
What an 'on fire shot' this is! The colours of the sky really are burning on, and makes such a great contrasts with the silhouetted buildings. A fabulous double-sided compostion!
Cheers.
Paulo

prezntime (3946) 2006-11-27 22:01

Good day to you Sabyasachi.
I've seen this shot a couple of times today but have not had a chance to comment.

Marvellous!

Cliche or not, it's beautiful. Sometimes the music of a chorus of frogs is as beautiful as Bach. One must not always strive for the most mentally challenging, sometimes beauty at its most pure form is enough.

The rest has already been said.
Regards friend,
Chris.

Hi Sabysachi,
One could never tire of such a scene, and posting it is not a cliche. The tones and hues of your photo are unique to the time and place you were there and are stunning. One can feel the peace and tranquillity. The lighting is just perfect. Congratulations on this classic shot, Sabyasachi...later.

Hi Sabyasachi,

Amazing the little story behind a simple shot. The shot is well planned and the results are according to the sum of time spent before shooting.

Colors are rich and the reflexion in the water is well done. In an upside-down picture, viewer would not be able to tell which side is top.

Hi Sabyasachi, you don't have many without people, but the ones you have are no less impressive than the others. Angkor Wat is very well known and most photographed and yet, you can surprise us with your skills to produce this outstanding image. It's dificult to describe the beauty of this one in words. The composition of the sillouettes of this double imaged is just perfect. Congratulations!
Friendly regards,

Cormac (26565) 2006-12-04 11:40

Perfect reflection! This is such and impressive shot, because of the colour and reflection, but also the positioning of the different elements. The towers of the building are off centre, allowing space to the sky and those interesting trees. Well done!

Hello,
une vue trиs reposante, au fait, ces temples doivent кtre des lieus de recueillement et de mйditation, c'est pourquoi ils sont si bien placйs.

Superbes couleurs.

ollie59 (796) 2006-12-04 19:08

Hello Sabyasachi,
I think that the colours are lovely ,and indeed the reflection is superb but for me the clouds are the key to giving your view that extra texture .Without them the view would not have the same effect .

Emiel_Skyfreak (3002) 2006-12-06 4:26

Wow, stunning one!
Incredible colours, nice reflection and good mirror effect, almost symmetrical I think. The frame works well.
Sharpness is fine, but there are halo's visible.
Thanks for sharing, great great sunrise shot!

Hi Sabyasachi,

A good POV of Angkor taken at sunrise which is giving nice colors and a set of shadows to the photo. It has a good composition and perspective. Thanks for sharing.

Pierre

dzain (585) 2006-12-14 8:28

Allthough this scene looks nice as a thumbnail, the postprocessing (with adding saturation/color/contrast) makes little white lines visible arround the silhouets. Maybe kloon them away or try postprocessing the original again with the HDR-option.

dcawker (5717) 2006-12-14 11:25

Really fantastic! One of the nicest shots I've seen on TrekEarth. Regards, Doug

sebcz (2345) 2006-12-15 3:33

Hi!
Amazing picture, basically, it is 'just' a silhuette photo, but the shapes of the structures make the difference. Famous sight shown alternatively.
Good shot!

eza1701 (3345) 2006-12-18 17:23

Hi Sabyasachi,

I haven't had much chance for critiquing lately so now I have some time I'm catching up on old friends.

Having a quick look at your photos, this one stands out. It's a stunning silhouette with wonderful sky colours and an unbeleivably mirror like reflection.

Best wishes,
Paul.

Hi Sabyasachi,

Long time no see - happy New Year!!

Hi Sabyasachi.

Clever work with the composition and the reflections over the water.
Even I would say impressive, because the light of the sky is like fire.

Well done and thanks for share.

Hi Sabyasachi,
Interesting capture here of the Angkor Wat, although I have to admit that I don't like this rather sharp contrast resulting in The light rim around the towers and the trees. Good contour thou.
All the best,
Michal

A very nice "clichй" that you have posted here. I think the colours are great and I don't mind the effects from the post processing at all. The reflection in the water is great and I really wish I could have seen that sunrise for real myself. Very nice post!

zaitochi (179) 2007-02-22 13:33

Who don't mind if it's a "clichй". Such a beautiful picture must be shown on TE. Thanks to share it. It's very beautiful and so peaceful.
The colors, tones and silhouettes are really fantastic.
I would like to be there just to contemplate this spectacle.

Hi Saby. This is a superb composition of one of the most photographed ruins in the region. Excellent creativity with these colour patterns. TFS. Murray.

KellEy (1237) 2007-03-03 9:18

This almost looks animated, like a cartoon.
The colours are so strong and so is the contrast.
I really like the effect but think it more suited to treklens.

Good photo and great note. Makes me want to go.
The picture has too much sharpening - I can see a white line around the towers.

I just got back from Siem Reap and looking at my own immages of the temple, I found they are lacking something. Your's is what I wanted mine to be. Excellent work. The colours are great. There is quite a bit of construction going on at the moment and you were able to hide that detail. I love how the temple reflects in the lake. Your other pictures are excellent as well.

Really great shot. I saw sun rise pictures before so as the perfect reflection photos, but never before saw both of them combined.

The sun rise is perfect gr8 orange colour and the reflection is also perfect and stand still. great work
