World's Oceans and Rivers Photo Gallery by Joel Santos at pbase.com

World's Oceans and Rivers

What fascinates me about photography is that we can capture light and time from a completely different way our eyes does. Oceans and rivers are perfect subjects to unleash the power of photography and challenge the way we perceive the world around us. A lot of Km were made to achieve this images and I went many, many times to the same places to seek the perfect light. This is my vision.

I hope you enjoy it! f you do, please be so kind to vote. Thanks!

NOTE: This gallery will be updated in a regular basis, so please stay tuned. NEW PHOTOS at the bottom.

Joel 18-Nov-2007 04:53

I'm not sure I can pay you bigger compliment than to say I sat back with a glass of good wine and enjoyed the show. Your composition and other technical aspects are fantastic, colour is brought in judiciously. I love how each shot has a focal point, usually in the foreground. I only wish the images were a little larger :) . Voted.

There are some stunning shots in your galleries. Too bad that the photos are that small (a little bigger would be nice) and that not all of the photos have EXIF data on them.

Your photos are great. Those colors looks competely unreal but also beautifull. I'm wondering what is the secret to receive such colors.

Robbie D70 30-Apr-2006 08:10

You have made a wonderful gallery for so many to enjoy viewing. Your work is inspirational
and I will try to create some of my area, with your methods in mind .Amazing work gmv.

Dion Chan 12-Apr-2006 13:43

Great photography works on seascapes. I have always got trouble slowing down the shutter speed to get the velvety water effect, yet at the same time, not resulting in an overwashed effect. You have done it extremely well.

(Have just started out on digital photography, and placed some photos on a trial site: http://www.pbase.com/dion_chan/flinders_ranges. Please feel free to take a look and comments on improving my skills are deeply appreciated)

Todd Walker 04-Apr-2006 06:15

These are fantastic shots. Just a word of warning -- what you have done to protect these pictures is completely ineffective. If someone wants to steal them, all they have to do is download what they want then remove the border with your name on it. Not imbedding the watermark within the image itself makes it rather pointless. Just a friendly bit of advice...

T. Hopkins 03-Apr-2006 16:45
