Calm before the Storm

calm before the Storm Posted by Picasa



This is one of the photos from the 17th Annual Photo Contestant Winners 2005 of the National Geographic. This bags the Merit Prize: Mr.Fakrul Islam.

Background: - Fakrul Islam forgot his raincoat on an evening outing in his native Bangladesh. When there was a sudden change of weather, Islam ran for shelter, from which he looked out on this scene. "Nature's beauty attracted me to the image," says Islam, a political science lecturer in Sylhet, a city in northeastern Bangladesh on the Surma River. Islam says that whenever he's not working, he likes to take photographs. "My theory behind photography is to capture unusual presents for the future." (Nikon F601, 19-35mm Sigma zoom lens, Fujichrome Provia 100 film.) Olympus Camedia C-770 digital camera and a copy of the National Geographic Photography Field Guide.

Comments: - This photo perfectly depicts the arrival of impending thunderstorm, the dark clouds and the blue water gives a mystic appearance to the photo. Excellent photo.
