German Housing (upscale version) Photo

Photographer’s Note

In a learn about the world style, here an image featuring German housing in a village alongside the Bergstrasse, between Heidelberg and Frankfurt.

As you can see the house features traditional style but it is a rather modern construction in the outskirts of a heritage village core, so I guess people have to stick to strict building rules to have their house here, and it starts with the city providing cobblestone street. All the place is kept in wonderfully clean conditions, which makes strolling there an enjoyable experience.

Hello Jean-Yves,
It looks a very nice house; one wonders how much it would cost ;-) Good use of the vertical composition whilst the curving lane with its cobblestones makes a nice frame. The green watering can is a nice addition.

Hello Jean-Yves,

Une maison toute simple mais qui, grâce aux colombages, éclate dans cette image.
Et puis, il y a cet arrosoir vert. Petit. Mais il attire mon regard.
Tu as déniché un joli coin ! Bien vu !

A+

Hi Jean Yves,
These traditonal housings are always a pleasure to see and to photograpgh. Many times not possible because of the space around you, but here you found a nice pov without distortion lines...i like that, does justice to the original architecture.
Regards, Henk

Hi Jean-Yves,

very beautiful capture of "german housing", brilliant sharpness and colors create a beautiful picture indeed, only the name "Weinstraße" isn´t correct, in my opinion, guess you mean "the Bergstraße", a route which covers Bensheim and other cities along that trail from Darmstadt down to Heidelberg and Wiesloch..

kind regards Bernd

En voyant la vignette, j'ai pensé à l'Alsace:-)
Très joli bâtiment bien cadré. Une architecture typique sous un joli ciel et une touche de végétation très agréable.
Excellente après midi,

Une luminosité parfaite qui rend encore plus "neuve" cette superbe maison à colombages. Une technique parfaite et une qualité d'image inégalable (petite pique aux jaunes)
Amitiés

Hello Jean-Yves,
An excellent and beautiful architectural photo. A very good POV and composition in a vertical format. Many details to view. Good control of light, very beautiful colours and excellent sharpness. Your photo makes me want to enter into the scene. :-)
Greetings, Lasse

At first I thought this old house was in very good condition, but after reading your note and looking closer, I can see that it is really a new house built in the old style. It's good to see that the old traditions are maintained and that this very distinctive look will not die out. Thanks for showing us this!

Bonjour Jean-Yves,
Jolie architecture, bien mise en valeur par cette belle luminosité.
Si ma ville pouvait être aussi propre que ce village, ce serait un bonheur.
Dis-moi, ce petit arrosoir... Il a viré au vert? Dommage, je l'aurais bien vu en rouge ;-)

JY,
This is a great reproduction of the tradition half-timbered houses. Your composition and POV are fine showing the building from a nice angle which creates depth and direction. The lighting and colors are fine with nice sharpness and detail.
TFS,
Asa

bonsoir Jean-Yves
ces maisons à colombages sont vraiment superbes!J'aime la façon dont la façade blanche et ensoleillée ressort sur le beau ciel bleu,et j'aime l'harmonie donnée par les volets bleus!Le pov est excellent et permet d'en voir une bonne partie malgré la grande taille de la maison!

Hello JY
Simple yet effective perspective with beautiful lighting and colours. Very refreshing to look at, I enjoyed these features when I was in Germany. I love the green water canister just sitting there bringing much more life into these colours. Well done JY.
