Roskilde Palace Photo

Photographer’s Note

This is Roskilde Palæ/Palace, build between 1733 and 1736. De architect was Lauritz de Thurah.

The palace was meant as a place to stay when the royal family was travelling or had to go to the Cathedral in Roskilde for a funeral.

The Cathedral of Roskilde is next to this palace and here the Danish royalties get buried.

The 9th of March was still quite cold, but very sunny, a good day for photography.

I sharpned the photo, sharpened it and gave it a more saturation and constrast, but only a little bit.

hi stef, this is an amazing fountain of yellow and golden tones; excellent light handling and sharpness of the photo; very nice work

Hi Stef, Good to see your new post. This is a strong contrast, strong statement building. You have used the gate nicely to see the inside from a guest point of view. I like the way you have both snow and blue sky in the picture. They made a strong contrast to this bright colored building.
Well done.

Looks like Denmark is nice to see for it's colors, Stef! I like very much your point of view and the colors. I hope to have more sunny weather soon but it's not really forcast here...

Bonsoir Stef,
L'on a du mal à croire que cette photo a été prise aujourd'hui, tant la lumière est forte mettant bien en valeur cet édifice. Les couleurs ont pris une dimension particulièrement agréable à l'oeil. La neige est là pour nous rappeler que nous sommes bien encore en Hiver.
Cadrage très original avec une très bonne maîtrise photographique.
Bien amicalement.
Philippe

Hi Stef,
Een 10 met een griffel. Prachtige foto. Perfecte compositie. En dan die zonnige kleuren. Je tochtje naar Roskilde was niet voor niets. Morgen Køge?
groetjes Rob.

Fantastico Stef!!!
Amo esse enquadramento com o ceu vibrante aparecendo apoz os arcos. Lindas nuances de cores. Parabens.

It's certainly a nice twist shooting from this angle. I like how this POV lets us see both the details in the wall and the rest of the palace in the distance. The yellow is rich and vivid. Well seen!

erdna (5360) 2005-03-09 20:32

I did not know you have bright colors in your palaces too. At first look I thought it was from Mexico. You took it at the right time when the sun is low. Nice work.

henneberke (62) 2005-03-09 21:29

Nice textures, shadows and composition. Great colors. Congrats! :)

AnimeshRay (8886) 2005-03-10 0:49

Very beautiful place and good composition. But in the absence of a human figure or something living walking by, I think a part of the view on the right is a bit distracting. Can you try a crop perhaps?
Regards,
A

Albrecht (11213) 2005-03-10 4:06

A strong composition. Very bright colours and sharp. Though I would have taken out the nose of the car perhaps..... Greetings.

Hoi Stef,

Een mooi doorkijkje naar de binnenplaats. Mooie schaduwwerking ook en warme gele kleuren.
Groet,
Paul

Dag Stef,
Het perspective is zeer goed, het oker geel kleur van de muren en dit schitterende doorkijk openingen maken uw foto zo mooi, jammer dat jij de auto geen zetje kon geven Stef!
Groeten,
John.

Kenny10pin (19301) 2005-03-10 10:32

I like the composition and also the colour, very good shades and also the pov is good, well done

jmdaoudal (82) 2005-03-11 2:29

What a nice color, and well built composition around these archs.
Good lights in these perspectives and a great care you took to have perfect elements in the opening (except the car :))) ).
Compliments
Jean Michel

Hi Stef. Beautiful colours and light. The arcs and the shadows are a playful combination with the straight lines of the windows. Just a pity of the car.

elihesamian (26091) 2005-03-12 5:17

Great light and shadow you played and a nice warm colors you had,a graphical form you managed here,excellent sharpness and depth,very well composed and well draw the lines in the composition,I like it,Stef,...good note.

Nice one! The yellow makes me think of Vienna. So many yellow buildings there. Very nice! Looks a bit like Schonbrun, also a palace. I like your angle and the shadows. Pity for the 'nose' of the car. I'll try to wipe the car out with a workshop if you like. Good picture!

Hauke (2) 2005-03-13 8:49

Hej Stef, this one is again a didactic play of how the use of colours can express a meaning. We can see everything and nothing by the same time. The arches suggest an old building, the scandinavian yellow gives a warm feeling of the heart as well as the clear blue sky. Eithe you start discovering the scene from left or right, the eye's guided by the interplay of lights and shadows on the bows to the houses and the open place. But there's still enough space left to let the mind wander on the ensemble in whole. We still don't know the complete area, but we can imagine. Great work, my dear.

ChristianS (2997) 2005-03-14 14:45

Hi Stef, very nice composition and perspective, and excellent light. I find the colours very appealing and the contrast very nice. Well done!

LCannon (2776) 2005-03-16 9:26

This photo is stunning Stef! Such strong architecture, the arch shapes and the colors are so bold. The bright blue sky accents it well and the only thing that I didn't like Marina took care of in her workshop. Super photo!

paulspain (625) 2005-03-19 4:56

Hello, Stef. I love this pictore . It´s a really wonderful composition.
Colors are amazing and I love also the game of light and shadows on it.
Wonderful picture, my friend.
Saludos.
Pablo

Hanssie (9133) 2005-03-19 15:55

Again this beautiful Danish yellow, and what a great composition with the arches, Steft, really nice seen and photographed !

MarekP (4744) 2005-06-26 7:49

Hi Stef,
Nice work with yellow indeed. Besides the colours I like the composition of the shot too. Very effective POV makes the photo quite artistic. Well done!

Thanks,
Marek
