Photographer’s Note

Today a very nice spring day, a lot sun and different tourist come to this lovely village.
Lissewege a village on a few miles of the North Sea, between Bruges and Zeebruges the world port of Belgium, after of Antwerp.
My wife and I enjoy of the splendid strolls during the day

Lissewege, the white village is undoubtedly one of the coolest examples of clean country in the Flemish sea plain: a picturesque center of a village with low white houses, crossed by a medieval channel dominated by the monumental 13th century church tower and surrounded by vast fields and centuries-old need

I hope you can enjoy

Hi John

Hi John. You have captured a wonderful spring day in this shot. well composed with good depth and detail. Nice spring colours also. Thanks for sharing.
Have a good week, Paul.

PaulVDV (5050) 2009-05-25 0:14

Dag John,
Vanuit een mooie hoek genomen zodat we beide straten kunnen inkijken. Waarschijnlijk waren jullie reeds vroeg op stap vermits er niemand op de foto te zien is.
De voorgrond met de vele kasseien en de lege straten geven het dorp nog meer een 'authentiek' karakter.
Beste groeten, Paul

papagolf21 (55956) 2009-05-25 0:25

Bonjour, mon bon ami John,
Un cadrage très original mettant bien en valeur la beauté de ce village aux rues pavées.
Félicitations également pour l'absence d'éléments perturbateurs. Une ville accueillante et bénéficiant d'un calme absolu !
Bel effet de perspective avec ces deux voies.
Amitiés.
Philippe

snunney (34060) 2009-05-25 0:49

Hello John,
You have captured a lovely ensemble of architecture in this well conceived composition, which gives us two sets of façades for the price of one. Very good light with excellent colours and clarity.

mikolaj_kawa (29366) 2009-05-25 0:56

Hello John! Perfect capture, nice natural light and colours. Good frame. Interesting architecture. Well done!

Very well done!!!

Best regards,

Buin (36852) 2009-05-25 1:37

Good morning, John!
An at the first glance uncommon composition - but all this pavement here really works very well. These houses look like very well-kept cosy dollhouses. Yes, having a stroll there must be wondeful. And this sky ... great!
Greetings from summerly Westphalia!
Frank

Philippe (11651) 2009-05-25 2:06

Dag, John. Als wij in België zulke mooie dagen hebben, moeten we ervan genieten! De huisjes op de voorgrond komen zeer goed uit op de blauwe lucht. Het perspectief is zeer goed dank zij uw gezichtspunt: we krijgen beide straten te zien. Mooie kleuren en contrasten.
Prettige dag verder,
Philippe

cunejo200 (7157) 2009-05-25 2:32

hello john,
i do like this composition
the pov provides ample texture on the cobbled stone
as always the photo is well composed and exposed.
best regards
danilo

barrufeto_77 (25611) 2009-05-25 2:35

Hi John.

From my point of view, only needs people there to give a little dynamism because the POV and colours are great!

Rgs, Oscar

pierrefonds (25915) 2009-05-25 3:03

Hi John,

The point of view which is showing two different street is giving a good perspective to the photo. It is also allowing us to see the details and colors of the architecture of the houses. The nice blue sky is sending a light which is enhancing the beauty of the colors. Well done, have a nice day.

Pierre

vasilpro (7989) 2009-05-25 3:03

Hello John,
Beautiful village with interesting architecture, I like your POV and the compositon, lovely colors.
Have a nice day, Vasilis.

bj40 (1194) 2009-05-25 3:18

Hi John,What a glorious day with such strong light perfect for showing the architectural detailing of these attractive buildings,the low shooting goes further to emphasis the scene still more.Excellent presentation .Thanks Tom.

Gerrit (35463) 2009-05-25 3:56

Dag John,
prachtige huizen en mooie straatklinkers.
Uitstekend POV en zeer goede compositie.
Een mooie plaat om naar te kijken.

Groeten Gerrit

trekks (14260) 2009-05-25 4:06

hi john

Who lives here?

I cannot imagine how fortunate it can be to grow up in a house and a place like this one. Such a wonderful view and scenery just to see the cobble stones and style of architecture.

Great shot. I surely will be happy to live and spend 2 weeks here.

tfs, bill

Giorgio (8604) 2009-05-25 4:46

- Excellent PdV pour ce sympathique endroit John, le choix du focus* est très bon et permet d'apprècier au mieux l'ensemble, c'est une très belle réalisation parfaitement maîtrisée techniquement, bravo !
Greetings.
Giorgio
* J'ai du mal à imaginer que l'objectif est un 70-200, je croyais à un grand angulaire !

Dpbours (210) 2009-05-25 5:23

Hoi John,

Mooi dat je die hele bocht ongeveer in beeld hebt gebracht. Geeft een mooi ruimtelijk effect in de compositie!

Het huisje moet van tussen 1795 en 1830 zijn... 1795 was het einde van de Oostenrijkse Nederlanden en 1830 het einde van het verenigde koninkrijk der Nederlanden. En het huisje is toch een onmiskenbare Nederlandse stijl.
Zit ik goed met de datum? ;-)

Groeten! Dennis

ChrisJ (69522) 2009-05-25 5:35

Hi John

A good low shooting angle & a nice repetitive pattern of the rectangular flag stones. Good perspective & angled pov. Tfs!

danyy (67958) 2009-05-25 6:59

Bonjour John,
une prise de ve tout à fait particulière avec cet effet grand angle un peu distordu.
Rouge, bleu et vert cohabitent en belle harmonie de couleurs, la photo bien cadrée avec le dilemme des deux chemins à emprunter.
Amitié de Liège.

josepmarin (33577) 2009-05-25 9:25

Hi John,
The framing is perfect to obtain a beautiful perspective towards both sides, with a lot of depth in the street at the right side.
The architecture is simple and interesting, the cobbles of the street have a good graphism, and I like the light and the colors of the composition.
Nice work, my friend.
Best regards,
Josep

maltese (21529) 2009-05-25 9:39

Goedenavond John,
Wat een heerlijke foto uit dit stadje. De kleuren springen in het oog in dit fijne lentelicht en wat een mooie blauwe lucht. Uitstekende compositie en POV ook, leuk dat we precies twee straten in kunnen kijken. Bedankt!

I like the colors and light.
Well done.

Krzysztof

Floydian (30970) 2009-05-25 15:03

Hallo john,

Ik zag meteen dat dit niet de beroemde 70-200 kon zijn, maar las al dat het een foutje was...kan gebeuren.
Gelukkig met je de straat rechts ook mooi meegenomen in de compositie, zo wordt er een extra dimensie aangelegd en dat vind ik vooral bij dit soort foto's zeer fraai om te zien. Tevens is het heldere licht zeer sterk aanwezig, geeft zelfs detail tot onder die groene bladeren.....zeer fraai.

Zoals je ziet ben ik er dus nog. Heb even getwijfeld over deze nieuwe opzet. Heb er wat reclame blokkers tegenaan gegooid dus daar ben ik van verlost. Verder vind ik ook dat onze foto's minder fraai tentoongesteld worden met deze kleurstelling, maar dat is misschien een persoonlijke keuze.

Groet,

Henk

Charo (31651) 2009-05-25 15:32

Hello John,
Very beautiful capture this angle the two perpendicular streets. A good mix of architectures emphasizing that beautiful house with the arbor in the front. Excellent details and colors.

Hi John,
A strong perspective with good emphasis on textures and detail. Sharpness, clarity, and well saturated colors render this a winner. Well seen and TFS. Gerald

batalay (20690) 2009-05-25 21:03

Hello Dear John,

I have always liked two-point perspective in architectural photos, and this is a very good example. In addition the colors and resolution are excellent. How tranquil the scene is with no crowds — just a superlative spring day for strolling.

Warm regards,

Bulent

Hello John,
very specific shot with your EF 70-200/2.8 L IS USM.Perfect quality with the exposure details that i see in the photo information.I like the clarity and the sharpness of the scene as it looks like as 3D, difficult for a zoom lens,but true.Great.

Have a nice afternoon,Danos

ciakgiak (10132) 2009-05-26 8:32

Hellom dear John,
this village is absolutely lovely, I really enjoy about this magnificent view. Where are the cars? Where is the caotic traffic? Splendid indeed!
I would like one day coming here.
Perfect the choice of POV to show us in the best possible way this corner of the village.
Colors and sharpness are outstanding.
Thank you and TFS.
Friendly regards.

Ik was eerst verbaasd door de compositie met zoveel straatstenen... Maar ne de eerste verrassing vind ik dit heel geslaagd. Het gereft een originele kijk... Mooie kleuren onder een prachtige lentezon.
Groetjes,
Paul

nwoehnl (118) 2009-05-27 2:29

Nice crisp, colorful and sharp photo, John, as usual - you found a good angle to show these delightful old buildings, and composed in a way that enhances a feeling of depth and perspective.

I wonder though - where are the "lots of tourists" that you are talking about? Not a single person is visible in your photo, which is a bit of a pity.

AiresSantos (41322) 2009-05-27 4:08

Great POV and wide angle shot. I like a lot how you framed it

mkamionka (4226) 2009-05-29 1:22

Hi John,
this is a very interesting piece of architecture, thanks for sharing that.
The perspective is fantastic, I am a bit surprised that it was done with a tele lens I would rather guess here that it was a wide angle shot.
I like having the pavement in the foreground it looks interesting.
Regards,
Mariusz

riclopes (32857) 2009-05-29 3:32

Olá John, this is a splendid wide angle. The parameters say 70-200 but I saw your reply saying it's the 16-35 lens which makes more sense. The architecture is beautiful, the blue sky is pleasant and I love this textured foreground. The building seems ready to take off and fly away :)
Have a nice weekend,
ricardo

delkoo (33924) 2009-05-29 4:26

PixelTerror (86026) 2009-05-30 9:14

Hi John
A pov that builds a strong perspective in two directions, quite empty place, the tree on the house front is interesting, here in Appenzell old houses also have such trees spreading onto their front, I don't know why...
Have a nice week end, groeten JY

ElAprendiz (7370) 2009-05-30 16:15

Hello John:

In this image high stress your point of view, to allow the frame to fully grasp the two streets in their intersection.

Great sharpness, brightness and contrast. The tree that came the front of the house is great. Without doubt, a beautiful job.

Special greeting from Colombia, John

beautifully composed picture of this lovely village with wonderful colors and fine sharpness. Your POV with the road in the foreground create good depth and I also like the great contrast between red roofs and blue sky. Very well done.

Didi (35690) 2009-05-31 6:46

Bonjour mon cher John
Intéressante perspective exagérée sur l'avant-plan, une image tr-s appréciable.
Si j'avais été présent, j'aurais essayé une prise de vue au 50 mm avec un assemblage de plusieurs images, j'aime bien faire partager mon expérience à mes amis.
Amitiés

Wandering_Dan (3181) 2009-05-31 10:37

Hi, John -

At first I thought this was a wide-angle distortion, but I checked the photo data and saw that it was at 70 mm. As Spock would say, "fascinating!" (I had to stare at the note to be sure; with this new web format, some of the text is a lot harder to read.)

Great use of angles, obviously, and colors. The line of cobblestones leads the eye out of the frame, but then the line of the buildings pulls it back in.

Best,
Dan

TGULUMSER (12418) 2009-05-31 13:52

I would have thought it was a wide angle lens from this perspective. Excellent composition eith good DOF.

parbo (10956) 2009-06-01 5:49

Dag John,

You captured a very special corner with its splendid graphical effects. I liked amazing perspective and depth with contrasts between terracotta roof and clean blue sky. The buildings reflects traditional details of Dutch architectures. The green of grape added nice touch with stone layered alleys. Congratulations. Have a nice new week.

Friendly Regards,

Bonsoir John,

Une belle utilisation du grand angle sur cette photo qui met bien en valeur ces architectures bien typiques et ces rues désertes. Le temps magnifique donne une qualité d'image irréprochable, j'aime beaucoup l'harmonie des couleurs et la netteté de la composition, le ciel bleu est superbe. Joli coup d'oeil John, bravo.

Avec toutes mes amitiés et une très bonne soirée,

Angshu (33267) 2009-06-04 21:33

I like the double perspective here. The contrast between the red tiled roofs and the blue sky is excellent. The clarity and sharpness is excellent, especially since the cobblestones are an important part of the picture. Fine work!
Best Regards

Paolo66 (157) 2009-06-05 5:54

Hi John!
A very deep perspective. A stunning composition and a clear blue sky do the rest. Not to forget is to note the large tree in front of the house.
Very well done.

jwmunro (6709) 2009-06-07 8:10

Hello John -

Yes it is a nice spring day and this is an interesting scene. The building is very nice and picturesque and the look down both streets is a nice touch, but what really strikes me about this scene is the lack of human habitation. The scene really lacks life. A pedestrian, a bicycle rider, a cat or dor, or even, God forbid, a car would make the scene jump off the screen. I am sorry to say that's not the case for me. Technically everything is spot on the money, but....

Thank you for sharing.

The "but" does not warrant a lowering of the points though.

Hello John,

This is a original composition with an interesting subject!
I like how you give emphasis to the cobblestone street, leading up to the beautiful houses on the other side...
Excellent details, and the fine light renders great vivid colours!

Greetings,

Hi John,
The perspective and depth is impressing here! I thought it was done with a wide angle lens, the I saw 70mm focal length! The cobblestones in FG add strong graphism too.
Good work
Laurent

Hello John!
The point of view is awesome. The vivid colours are pleasant as well as the details and sharpness. The light is perfect too. The building has a great style and the tree in front is impressive by its shape. A really good work!
Best regards
Denis!

Hi, John,

This image caught my eye in the thumbnail because of the uncluttered scene, your large commitment to the cobblestones, and what seemed clearly to be a wide-angle view.

I was surprised to see 70 mm listed in the notes as the focal length, but I've skimmed the comments and your replies to note that you shot this with a 16-35 mm lens, which makes sense.

In contrast with some others, I'm not bothered by the absence of people. Maybe the reaction depends on the personality of the viewer? (I'm a bit introverted and prefer nature to cities...)

I like how you have used the two streets to frame the buildings.

The color rendering and sharpness are excellent.

Regards,
- William
