Description Welcome to the dunes of Maspalomas!

Iam back after a month of doing nothing on deviantART.
For the last two weeks I was on holyday on the canary islands (gran canaria and teneriffa) - it was a great trip nice weather, landscapes, people...and I took about 600 pictures...my 5GB card is fully loaded with images.
This is the first one I come out with...its taken at Maspalomas beach...when walking along the dunes it felt like beeing in a large desert!

Awesome picture. I love the contrast between the sand and the sky, it really brings out the effect. Though I am curious about the name. Fata Morgana as far as I know means something like illusion. Are you referring to the picture as a idyllic fantasy or dream like picture because it so perfectly captures your typical idea of a desert? Just wondering...

ffmdotcom In reply to Scooz87 [2005-10-04 09:21:07 +0000 UTC]

Well it looks somehow unreal to me...it looks so clean and the moon in the background makes it look even more strange...but still not to unrealistic...i guess its the same like looking at a "Fata Morgana"...in the first moment its hard to point out if its real or not...

I'm not arguing with ya. After first I thought it was a Photoshop manipulation, it looked too perfect. You are lucky to have gotten such a great picture.

Just read that you are in NZ currently - i bet you have a lot of nice places there to take pictures!
Just imagine warm sunbeams an a warm wind flying along the dunes...this makes the picture even better.

Currently iam asking myself why we still dont use german to talk to each other...
Hatte deine Gallerie schon angeschaut und die Landschaftsaufnahmen (Strand und HΓΌgellandschaft) sind recht schΓΆn. Wie lange bist du denn schon in NZ? Ich denke da wird noch einiges an Fotos nachkommen oder?

thecolos In reply to ffmdotcom [2005-10-05 10:11:59 +0000 UTC]

haha, um ehrlich zu sein schau ich normal immer nach aus welchem Land der Artist kommst aber komischer Weise bei dir nicht .
Ich weiß, die Aufnahmen sind nicht perfekt aber ich versuche alles aus meiner kleine Sony w-1 heraus zu holen. HÀtte hier verdammt gern eine D-SLR aber dazu wir das Geld leider an anderer Stelle dringender gebraucht.
Bin jetzt hier seit 3 Monaten und bleibe insgesamt 8. 4 Monate davon sind Studium. Hab also noch 1 Monat Studium vor mir und dann geht es ab auf Entdeckunsreise. Genug Zeit um schΓΆne Bilder zu knipsen. Zumindest hoffe ich es
Bald startet der Sommer hier und im Sommer Reise ich auch und ich kann mir nicht vorstellen, dass es nicht gibt wo es sich nicht lohnt ein Fotos zu machen

ffmdotcom In reply to thecolos [2005-10-06 22:11:56 +0000 UTC]

Na dann hast du ja das beste noch vor dir!
Denke mit ner kleine Sony Digicam kan man auch ganz schΓΆne Fotos machen...das es natΓΌrlich schΓΆnere Hardware gibt ist klar...aber ich denke nach untern gibts auch deutlich schlechteres.
Bin ja gespannt was dann noch so von dir kommt wenn du mehr gelegenheit hast das Land zu bereisen. Tja und so lange bei dier der Sommer einzug hΓ€lt bereiten wir uns hier schon auf den Winter vor...ohh weia.

We didn't stop at Puerto de Mogan, but if I;m right, that;s the little town with the big mountains right? [link] (Took this near San Nicolas)

This one is somewhere between Puerto Rico and Mogan: [link]

And this is Puerto Rico: [link]
