Crowd in the square Photo

Photographer’s Note

I took the photo in the Old Town Hall Square in Prague near from the Tower. It was about getting dark, the lights were on, but the sky was still light.
It was about 5 p.m. and there were thousands (maybe that really was the truth) of people, as regulary in Prague.

Changes: resized, cropped

I would be pleased if you told me about your opinions about the photo!

About its sights:
Mentioned in 1091, it is the oldest of the towns of Prague gained the privileges of a town in the 13th century. However, its name dates back to the 14th century when the New Town was founded. The centre of the Old Town has always been the Old Town Square dominated by the Church of Our Lady of Týn and the Town Hall.

Hi Marci mio!
I remember this one quite well. I think this was the first photo i had written to you, and i had already loved the original one. Your repost also deserves much appreciation. Lovely orange, moody black, and perfect atmosphere. Nice to have you here pal :o)
Cheers,
Deniz

Márton,

very nice composition and crop. I really like that people are on the shot and are showed only from above their shoulder. Color of the sky (natural?) haromizes with the artifical lights and makes this picture mysterios. Perfect everning shot, very well done!
congratulations,
Szabolcs

Hello Marci, you have a nice collection. I've been lookingthrough them.

This is a good shot. I love the drammatic colours in the sky and the drama in the crowd. Good work!

Szia Marci!
Micsoda varázslat, amit Te itt fényekkel, színekkel művelsz! Jártam már néhányszor a Starometské Námestín, de ilyennek még soha nem láttam. Az itt mindig nyüzsi tömeg sem bontja meg a tér intimitását, az ég meg remekül ellenpontoz.
Gratulálok, új arcát mutattad a térnek!
Üdv
Laci

Szia!
Jól emlékeztem, hogy ezt a képet már láttam, csak akkor még nem ilyen volt. :) Kifejezetten jót tett a képnek a további PP, gyönyörű színeket kevertél. Bámulatos, pazar. Szinte drámai hatású. Kár az előtérben elmosódott fejért, de nyilván kikerülhetetlen volt.
Inspiráló - egyszer én is szeretnék ilyet csinálni. :)
Grat és üdv Laci

Marci, simply fantastic shot. It's like the sky and the buildings are on fire, impressive colours. Very warm. Really well done!

edytungkal (4519) 2008-03-12 21:26

You have so many nice night shot and this picture is one of them, i like the orange tones created from the nature lighting and the lamps in the street. The dark athmosphere created a mysterious of this place and your tight framing just make it more special. Well done Marci, tfs

Hi Marton,

so young and already so good! :)
A lot of excellent photos to choose from...but I like this one particulary.
It has a special atmosphere...a little bit apocaliptic feeling to it because of intensive red orange glow and so many people, a huge crowd, some faces looking at the sky...like they are waiting in expecation of sth to happen.
I know...I wandered away again but if I do, that means that I'm looking at multilayered photo that delivers a third dimension that allows someone like me to intepretate it differently.

My best,
Jeri
PS i'm a little ashamed because of the fact that I've never been to Hungary before. Few days back, after my friend returned from there, I decided to visit it when you will remove all the christmas decoration :)
