This photo was made in somewhere in the desert between Sudan and Egypt. We drove all day and we decided to stop for the night, just before God had started to paint the sky. Perfect timing to stop, and perfect timing to shot and represent my passions.

Title of the photograph: Photographer
Photo of the Day Award Category: Sunrise & Sunset Photography
Photograph Location: The Nubian Desert, Sahara | Sudan / Egypt

Photographer:Gabriele Ferrazzi (Rome, Italy)
Gabriele Ferrazzi was born in Rome in 1982, and lives there, but the majority of his shots are from all around the world. He has done a long walk from Cape Town to Istanbul with an overland truck, and his next mission (dream) will be to drive from Rome to Sydney with a car… He likes to define himself as a travel photographer, but in general all his shots are expressions of his vision and his passions. Usually he uses Canon cameras and professional lenses to have the maximum quality. He is 29 years old, and just wants to travel and do photography for the rest of his life. He wants to meet different people, different cultures from every corner of this planet and really start to understand this world.

I planned this photo shoot 1 hour prior to sunrise beneath the Deerfield Beach pier. Not a person was in sight this time of the morning but shortly before sunrise the fisherman began to arrive at the pier. I could tell the sun was going tho brake through the cloud bank and wanted to capture it. I also wanted to try and get the reflection of the pier if possible. Using a variable ND filter and tripod I was fortunate to capture this exposure. I went back the morning for more it was so much fun.

I was motorcycling through Ireland for a whole summer month, and I had rain every day. This day was quite nice, though, but after I put up my tent in the evening near Blackrock Bay there was a strange light coming from the sea. I went to the rocks at the water, placed the camera on my tripod and used a dark neutral density filter to have a long exposure time, making it able to watch the oncoming clouds that quickly became a thunderstorm.

With photography, one can address emotions and feelings directly, giving this medium a lot of potential power.

“This hotel pool was so still (since people left for the beautiful beach) that it was almost like a solid reflective surface. The se-metrical look and feel of the scene is what drives the attention to the beautiful surrounding trees, which makes it look like a desert oasis. The setting sun is what gave the final touch to such beautiful scene”.

Photographer: Eyad Al Shami ( Dubai, United Arab Emirates )
“Born in 1976 in Jerusalem, Eyad Al Shami grew up with the tend to try different hobbies including Pool, Chess, Music Instruments, Diving, Card Magic, Bowling. But photography was the most serious one when he bought his first camera in 2000, it was a point and shoot that he carried with him everywhere… He was fascinated with low light and night shots, street and nature… However the serious journey started with his first DSLR “Canon 450D” in 2007 that his wife bought him on their anniversary, since then it was never the same… Continuous reading, dedication and practice is what he was focusing on since that day… he believes there is still so much to learn and apply but practice is always the key.
He is working in IT industry sales which is a demanding career, so is photography… Finding time to go out and shoot is one of his challenges, that’s why he don’t spare time during his travels as he always shoot what appeals to him. Photographing Kids/ Street and Low Light scenes is what he loves and will one day adopt one of them as the main path in his photography journey.”

Every day I watched the sunsets on the marsh across the road from us in Wimborne Minster, Dorset, UK. Occasionally, I captured them; if ever sunsets can be captured. The trees took on a definite silhouette in Winter. Sunsets are cliché these days, dominated as photography is by intertextual references. Still, I like to remind myself it’s a wonder-full world.

“The sky, a perfect empty canvas, offers clouds nonetheless. They shift and drift and beg interpretation, such is the nature of art.” When I was looking at this sky, envision the frame before capturing, made me remember this famous quote by Jeb Dickerson. This Photograph was shot in Kishoreganj, Bangladesh.
