From Wine to History Photo

Photographer’s Note

Back to the Alsatian side of the Rhine to discover today a view of Husseren les Chateaux.

You can see on this photo the upper part of the Alsatian layer, with the vineyards, then the village and the Vosges mountains. Behind me, going down to the Rhine are more vineyards, then a flat part dedicated to cereals, then the Rhine.

On the top of the mountain, you can see the silhouettes of three dungeons that will be covered in later posts.

JY,

a beautiful photo with fantastic colors. You are one of the best autumn landscapists on TE..your photos are really well thought out and your compositions interesting.

ChristianS (2997) 2005-11-08 4:26

Hi Jean Yves,
Beautiful autumn scenery with a nice perspective all the way up to the top of the mountain. The colours are superb especially the wineyards and the contrast with the blue sky is very nice. Beau travail! Have a nice day Jean Yves!

Regards, Christian

Hello Jean Yves,
il n'a rien à envier à Féchy ce petit village Alsacien... Quoi que, la pagode de Féchy est quand même plus jolie ! ;-)
Bien composé avec le chemin qui guide le regard jusqu'au village.
Belle lumière, belles couleurs, bien fait en somme...

Hi Jean-Yves
I like the crop you have used here as it maximises the effect that the shape of the vines have in drawing the eye into the shot. Fabulous colours, the leaves of the vines really set off the foreground wonderfully (shame the vines in my garden aren't so pretty!), and the blue of the sky contrasts really well. I like the fact that the largest building in the town is off set from the end of the trail through the vines.
Regards
Sarah

feather (49848) 2005-11-08 9:23

Excellent colours and light. The pathway between the vines leads us nicely to the village and then up the mountain.
Are you finding you have to use high compression on your autumn shots? One or two others have mentioned it and mine are compressed almost double that of other photos.

Didi (35760) 2005-11-08 13:11

Bonsoir Jean yves
Tu as su profiter de cet automne exceptionnel en ce qui concerne le beau temps.
La composition est très appréciable, quoique je note un petit excès de saturation de couleurs

dkeus31 (25984) 2005-11-08 13:19

Bonjour Jean-Yves,
Jolies coulerus et composition.
Joli les trois tours!

Amicalement
Didier

nwoehnl (118) 2005-11-08 15:01

Bonsoir JY. Good use of the inverse v-shape of the vines to offer a strong perspective funnel towards the church and village buildings. Beautiful lighting and delightful seasonal colors all over.

stefi (1147) 2005-11-08 15:09

Salut Jean Yves!
Always around the World but always with good shots!
I like the composition of the photo, with the small lane between wineyards and the village on the background. Colours are well saturated (some Velvia effect that I like).
Only the POV maybe could have been better: maybe shooting from a bit more on the right you can hide the small part of the road (is it a road?).
Bye!
Stefano

gary91 (15319) 2005-11-08 15:24

Bonsoir Jean-Yves,
Décidement, tu sembles beaucoup aimer ton 10-22. ET il te le rend bien.
Bravo pour cette superbe image.
Composition sans reproche et couleuurs incroyables.
Amicalement. Christian

leonorkuhn (13501) 2005-11-08 15:58

Salut Jean Yves,
Belle composition. Le chemin sinueux conduit le regard en direction du village. La lumière et les feuilles sont dorés. Magnifique contraste de couleurs et perspective.
Bien fait!
Amitié,
Leonor

Emile (19807) 2005-11-08 16:41

Hola Jean Yves.
Very good perspective, the village and mountains give you a nice depth to your picture. Very well captured. Love the colours contrasts between the golden leaves, the green grass and the blue sky. Sharpness as usual is excellent. Good POV and DOF.
Very well done. TFS.

Salut JY
joli cadrage sur ces vignes, avec les belles couleurs de saison.

salut jean yves

singuanti (15240) 2005-11-08 22:22

Hi Jean-Yves. What an outstanding golden hue you have captured. Each shot I see from you with this wide-angle makes me wonder how I manage without one! This shot has the appearance a polarizer was used but I don't see one listed. Nice shot JY.

Cormac (26449) 2005-11-09 0:57

A great piece of colour and light! The yellows, greens and blues are very saturated and intense. The light is also very nice, with the shadows across the grassy road and the slight haze or something giving the distant hill a feeling of distance. Beautiful area, and a a beautiful shot!

eco (84) 2005-11-09 3:45

Hi Jean

Simply wonderful foto. Perfect frames. Wonderful coloring. This field has gone out beautiful. And this village in background else, revelation.
best regards, rafal

ChrisJ (69588) 2005-11-09 4:00

Bonjour Jean Yves

I like the color contrast, between the blue & yellow, the superb linear perspective, the excellent sharpness, & the rich vibrant colors. Bon travail!

HOBO (5244) 2005-11-09 4:10

Bonjour Jean-Yves,
un autre lieu il faut visiter la prochaine fois, quand je suis à Freiburg/Breisgau.
Bonne composition avec le chemin qui tire l'attention au village et au château. Belles couleurs!
Knut

Luan (15935) 2005-11-09 4:35

C'est beau comme paysage, les couleurs bien saturees m'ont attirees, en grand c'est encore mieux. Une image intelligemment construite, comme si tu nous faisais un petit tour guide des lieux, d'abords les vignes a travers ce petit chemin, ensuite degustation dans le domaine plus loin.
Bien joué Mr le guide
Luan

chaity (1539) 2005-11-09 5:16

HI Jean Yves, what a colorful place. I just love this photo taken with the super wide angle lens you have.

jemaflor (38871) 2005-11-09 6:31

Salut JY,
Bel ensemble avec ces couleurs contrastées et saturées, le rang de vigne mène le regard vers le village et son clocher, c'est bien composé.

capthaddock (28640) 2005-11-09 10:35

Hello JY - another superb autumn shot, I liked the simple vineyard shots, but I prefer this one showing the vines with the distant village, and the "road" leading to it, the green road has a great contrast with the orange vines.

jhm (81731) 2005-11-09 11:28

Hi Jean Yves,
The small path between the splendid autumn colours of the vineyard give a nice depth, the village with church in background a wonderful composition, I like this time of year.

bebel (7341) 2005-11-09 15:57

salut Jean-Yves
très sympa ton cadrage avec le chemin décentré, et les couleurs bien chaleureuses qui augurent d'un bon cru... Un poil lumineux je trouve mais c'est pas dérangeant, surtout sur le ciel. Voilà un coin qui donne envie à visiter...
à bientôt
Pierrot

maphoto (8076) 2005-11-09 23:08

Très belle présentation Jean-Yves, les couleurs superbes, très beau point de vue pour nous présenter ce village et vignier, le ciel est étincelant, bien vu.

Flavia (10202) 2005-11-11 11:56

Salut Jean,

J'adore cette photo, surtout la couleur dore de vignoles et le chemin qui nous permet de presque rentrer dans la photo. La perspective est superbe et la lumiere 10!

A+

Flavia

tityop (6225) 2005-11-13 4:04

Oula mais j'ai pris de retard moi !!!!!
Salut Jean Yves,
Superbe celle ci, j'adore ces couleurs flamboyantes, ce vert, ce jaune, ce bleu !!
Et ce chemin entre les vignes guide notre regard vers cette petite église, c'est vraiment bien cadré tout ça ;o)
Bravo
Amicalement Thierry

bazal (7898) 2005-11-14 2:53

salut, Jean-Yves.
Quelle lumière tu nous fais partager grâce à ce post ! Les feuilles dorées des vignes en deviennent éblouissantes ! J'aime bien ton choix d'un POV bas qui permet de profiter de la perspective sur le sillon entre les souches. magnifique boulot ! merci du partage !

rabani (9421) 2005-11-16 5:13

Hi Jean...as you know, I go for colors and tones which inspire imagination.I liked very much this scenery. The sunlight coming from behind me on the right, giving way to see this winecountry. Seeing this, just make the wine, tasted so much better. Colorful, bright with a bouquet of summer.

Hanssie (9133) 2005-11-20 8:48

The vineyards in all it's glory and in the background, the village and the mounatin, all very clear and in a sunny light.
Colours are wonderful here, nice composed, great picture of this landscape !
