Bernkastel Kues Photo

Photographer’s Note

The route to Bernkastel-Kues leads straight into a world where you will encounter cultural romanticism around every corner. Stunningly beautiful half-timbered houses, narrow streets and cosy wine taverns from a perfect setting in which to take a leisurely stroll.
Besides the unique beauty of a picturesque river landscape of vineyards and forests, this gem of a town offers visitors a typical example of a small old German town which has been perfectly preserved.

Is it Bernkastel near Heidelberg? A few year ago, i goes in this wonderful place.
This photograph is splendid: interesting framing, very beautiful light and pretty subject. Good job

Wat een fleurige foto, de gevelrij uit een perfecte hoek genomen, juist rechts de lantaarn laten staan met de schaduw zijde erbij, Hans dit is een goede volgens mij, en ik denk ook voor anderen. Mooi werk!

clean colors, and good DOF. Gives a happy and pleasant feeling just by looking at your photo.

Liora (1857) 2004-08-06 11:52

What a beautiful street Hans! The colors are so nice and happy, and the architecture is classic and beautiful. You've captured what appears to be a narrow alley very well.

A festival of colors ! This is a charming street indeed, and I appreciate that there is nothing which could ruin this charm, I mean cars or a bus of tourists ;-)
I can't remember at the moment the type of camera you use, but the quality of this pic is really high.
Very attractive place, which goes straight to my theme about typical houses !
Congratulations Mr Hans, it seems that you never stop improving yourself ;-)

Galeota (10334) 2004-08-06 14:30

Very nicely composed Hans. The colours are natural and bright. This was a good exposure.

Burnham (2426) 2004-08-06 14:54

lovely colours Hans! I always fall for these pretty little colourful streets, and here I really like the white house at the end, build by a drunk I reckon ;o)

Nice to see this mix of different house-ends I like the colours as well - seems to be a quiert place - you almost got this shot without people - thanks Hans for sharing.

Hi Hnas, wat een romantische stadje! Zachte tinten, prachtige vakwerkhuizen, mooie lucht, en een lantaarntje dat daar zo lekker tegen af steekt. Mooi gekaderd door die muur rechts en de bladeren daar boven.

Really fine street scene Hans with bright colors and excellent details beneath a picture book sky. Excellent capture and thoughtful composition.

CoolDan (2490) 2004-08-07 16:11

Très jolie photo aux magnifiques couleurs. J'aime beaucoup votre cadrage Hans. Nicely done.

nwoehnl (120) 2004-08-07 16:40

Very nice one, Hans. A quintessentially German-looking scenery that you captured with supreme detail and colors. Fine choice of shooting angle that includes this mixture of half-timbered and other architecture, and with wonderful details like the church (?) tower and the old lanterns. Beautiful shot.

avigur_11 (21307) 2004-08-07 17:13

So colorful, wel lit, and a very good chosen angle, Hans. I like these half-wooden houses and the way you kept some beautiful blue sky above.

nalo (356) 2004-08-08 4:09

Very nice picture. I know, in Germany, there are many of such nice paintet lanes! You took the right PoV!
Well done!

too clean.. may be a touch of dust on this very old frontages reveal in them their real age . maintenance on walls is nice .. but here it's too much !! do you think during the medieval period aspect of the city was like that really ..

Hi Hans,
This picture is really good.
I like the colour of the houses and that street in between with the houses and the right side.
Good shot.
Cyril

wow, what a beautiful town, i really like this kind of places, nice shot too, good composition - the picture is nicely framed. nice image

strangiato (76) 2004-08-19 12:46

Beautiful collection of colours, but a lot of areas are underexposed. I give 2 points because I am generous.

- 19/8 Home again and on my own screen there are considerably less dark areas. The monitor in the internet cafe must have been bad. -

France (149) 2004-10-03 17:32

Bright colors and very very beautiful composition. Exposition is perfect. The light emphasizes well the colors. I would like to enter in your picture and to walk in this street. It's perfect.

castellano (708) 2004-11-27 18:52

Lovely town. I really like the light in this photo. Nice shot!

greghume1 (447) 2005-03-31 23:10

Absolutely beautiful light - the interaction with the colors of the buildings and flowers creates a stunning image, Hans.

jjcordier (25256) 2006-04-03 1:13
