Encore une très belle photo ! J'ai l'impression que tu utilises du HDR, non ? En tout cas encore une fois la lumière est superbe et les nuages au-dessus parfaitement bien dessinés ! J'apprécie également ton choix de cadrage avec la rivière coincée en bas à droite...
ce doit-être bien agréable de vivre dans ce bled...

Hello Daniel,
the beautiful sky, beside the well managed lighting is what makes the difference here. The view of the village is stunning and really appealing and it looks like it belongs to a different era. Quality is excellent throughout, with great sharpness and colours.
Thanks for sharing it.
Regards,

Igor

Hi Daniel. Difficult to select the magic point when the whole scene looks magical. Wonderful play of light on the old walls and the sky gives the composition a dynamic look. Great stuff. Regards. Klaudio.

Definitivamente un gran uso de la iluminación del sol cerca del momento del sunset. El castillo y el pueblo alrededor destacan fuertemente sobre el fondo oscuro del paisaje. El cielo tiene contrastes fuertes, que hasta parecen el efecto del uso de un filtro polarizador, pero no estoy seguro de eso, porque a veces el cielo se ve así sin el uso del filtro. El río azul a la derecha --si es que es un río-- completa muy bien la parte 'terrestre' de la imagen.
Sá que te debo un email. Ya lo escribo.
Saludos desde Munich,
Jürgen

Hello Daniel,

looking at this photo, it is the sky that surprises me : it's like in 3D ! It must be a phantastic castle.

regards,

Luc.

Hello, Daniel -

Fantastic light! It looks almost like a late medieval painting. Great use of diagonals, too.

Dan

Hi Daniel,

Impressive photo of this medieval castle. Excellent light and sharpness. Fantastic clouds! The castle seems very big comparing to the village. Nice shot!

Beautiful shot! The colour and contrast of this is top notch, making for a shot which is quite interesting and attractive. The contrast of colour between the warm stones of the town and the blue/grey of the sky is great too. I really like the sky in this, which looks very solid and tangible, providing a nice counter weight to the town. Well done!

Salut Daniel
Le mois de mars est propice à ce genre de luminosité.
On pourrait croire que le château est illuminé par les projecteurs en début de crépuscule.
Ton point de vue est parfait, j'apprécie beaucoup.
Amitiés.

Definitely my kind of photo, this photo puts Castelnaud on my (somewhat) long of places to see soon. And what a light. THe sky seems super sharp and in a few spots pixellated, though parts below are fine. If I had to be extra picky, the contrast probably didn't need to be that high.

Salut Daniel,

Un sacré coup d'oeil, tout à fait impressionnant. La lumière du jour, sur le point de s'estomper, en profite pour venir contraster au max ce petit village à flanc de colline. Peu importe les cartes postales, cette vue est déjà fort admirable.

En plus de la lumière qui contribue largement à la beauté des lieux, il y a ces nuages qui viennent couronner le tout.

Vraiment superbe!

Hi Daniel,
The warm light is simply beautiful here and illuminates the castle and the village below perfectly. Another great element are the clouds which form a super background and with their almost diagonal lines drawing our eye to the castle. all in all a wonderful clear scene taken from a great point of view.
Regards
Wanda

Cette lumière éclaire de façon fantastique ce château et le village et le ciel est magnifique. Je trouve, personnellement, que tu as un peu forcé la saturation des couleurs et l'accentuation...mais c'est une simple affaire de goût!

Hey Daniel, this is quite beautiful, I envy you having this scene to capture. I like the way the the castle and town is sitting in a pool of light; with that dark area at the bottom of the frame. Love the random jumble of roofs.

The picture looks a bit oversharpened (in the sky at least) but the view is gorgeous with excellent light contrasts between the buildings and the valley...

Cheers

Hola Daniel
Preciosa vista sobre ese pueblo impressionante. Es genial como solo los edificios tienen luz y que es oscuro alrededor. Muy bien los contrastes y la nitidez. El cielo con tantos nubes car mucho animo.
Un saludo

I think i managed to make such a vision in Schloss Hochensalzburg, but i am afraid to share it. Because i set the exposure due to the sunlight on the castle, and all the other parts are dark.
Of course this vision is much better than mine (and worth selling, ha!) because the details are much more crowded and the POV is much better. I love the medieval feeling in it. And oh yes, i love its darkeness.
Cheers,
Deniz

Daniel, the lighting you have captured here is magnificant. The composition is excellent as is the color and detail but your choice of times to get this light is awesome.
