Ciao Dimitris
un'ora blu di classe;
L'acqua calma della laguna assume gli stessi toni del cielo e mette in risalto la costruzione che contrasta con il colore caldo della sua illuminazione.
Una composizione di gran classe che hai saputo realizzare con tecnica sopraffina, nella quale la nitidezza è evidenziata dai riflessi nell'acqua.
Complimenti
Ciao e buon fine settimana
Romano

Hello Dimitris,
Splendid capture of this illuminated fisherman's house and its reflection completely surrounded by a beautiful blue environment.
Only two dark strips divide the sky from the lake. The furthest line of the land at the other side of the water adds good depth to the picture.
Splendid contast between the orange and the blue tones.
Best regards, Paul

Hallo Dimitris,
was mich hier ganz besonders beeindruckt ist das tiefe Blau und die damit verbundene schöne Stimmung. Die Komposition ist ausgezeichnet. Du bist ein Meister der blauen Stunde!
Herzliche Grüße,
Harriet

Hi Dimitris,

Lovely colours of the twilight and the illuminated structure in the lake.
The only thing i find disturbing is the light on the right hand side, other than that, it's perfect :)

cheers,
Prashant

Hallo Dimitris. Ein weiteres farbstarkes Foto aus Deiner meisterhaften Galerie. Das Blau ist wirklich fantastisch. Die Licht- und Farbpunkte im Bild sind dazu ein gelungener Kontrast.
Viele Grüße, wolfgang.

Τήν λένε μπλέ ώρα, εγώ την λέω "αγια ώρα" γιατί είναι αυτή η πολύ εκλεπτυσμένη ώρα στο τέλος τής μέρας πού ολα συνομοτούν τέλεια για μια υπέροχη φωτογραφία.
Το τοπίο αποπνέει ηρεμία, τα χρώματα είναι γλυκά και απαλά και η ακινησία της φύσης εντυπωσιάζει!
Η παρουσία σου τήν συγκεκριμένη στιγμή στο συγκεκριμένο σημείο ηταν πολύ απαραίτητη για να χαρίσει αυτήν την οπτική απόλαυση!
Καλό σου βραδυ Δημήτρη,
Ελένη

Hi Dimitris
A fine night shot using 8sec exposure with good balance on both dark and brightest areas. Amazing blue hour effect here and I like the dark tones of the blue sea and sky and the reflections on the water. It makes the photo really special. Congrats

Bonjour, cher Dimitris,
Quand je vois cette superbe image, je me demande si un tel lieu existe ! la réponse est donnée à travers la beauté d'ensemble.
La composition donne l'impression d'un mirage.
Quel régal !

Hi Dimitris
a striking blue hour shot. It has such a tranquility about it and the light is so magical. It just evokes warm Greek evenings of sitting sipping wine and watching the world go by. Love it!

Enjoy your Sunday - Brian.

Δημήτρη γεια σου,
απ΄ ότι βλέπω τα κατάφερες και πήγες στο Μεσολόγγι κάτι που επιθυμώ και εγώ να κάνω αλλά να δω πότε.Εξαιρετική η παρουσίαση, τα χρώματα και οι αντανακλάσεις σ΄αυτή την γαλήνια επιφάνεια της λιμνοθάλασσας.

Σε χαιρετώ,Δάνος
Και εγώ το Σαββατοκύριακο,ήμουν στην ορεινή Ναυπακτία και έφτασα μέχρι την Άνω Χώρα.

npecanhuk (53909) 2013-01-27 13:51

Hello Dimitris!
Eye-catching evening picture!
I love those symmetrical reflections!

Cheers,
Neyvan

siolaw (37568) 2013-01-27 22:42

Hi Dimitri
Nice dominant blue tone here making a strong contrast with the warm electric lighting of the house. Compo works well. I usually close more, f11 or so, and give a longer exposure time, but this one works well too!
Greetings
Laurent

maria-v1981 (10403) 2013-01-28 4:34

Καλησπέρα Δημήτρη,
Σήμερα πόσταρα και εγώ μια εικόνα με μπλε ώρα στην όμορφη Θάσο. Αυτή η ώρα είναι πάντα ειδυλλιακή γιατι η ατμόσφαιρά έχει κάτι τ ο μαγικό. Οι αντιθέσεις και οι αντανακλάσεις απλά γοητευτικές και η λήψη πάντα με ποιότητα.
Καλή συνέχεια και καλή βδομάδα,
Μαρία

josepmarin (55051) 2013-01-28 5:54

Hallo Dimitris,
I like the fantastic game of the lighting of the fishermen's house, with its golden tones, and the wonderful reflections on the water of the lagoon, with a deep blue color that is fused with the sky, in an image sharp and attractive.
An excellent work in the exposure and in the framing.
Best regards,
Josep

Graal (88908) 2013-01-28 10:20

Kalispera dear Dimitris

A stunningly beautiful Blue Hour photo. So subtle and beautifully exposed. There is absolutely no noise here, even in the darker areas such as the corners. This is remarkable. I love the reflections of the rock and the fisherman's house. And those golden lights are pure magic. Congratulations once again on a sensational photo.

Warmest regards
Lisa

All the best,
Barbara

Angshu (51174) 2013-01-31 1:51

Hello Dimitris
The blue hour sky as also reflected in the placid water contrasts beautifully with the warm glow of artificial light. The stone in the FG anchors the shot well. The bright light on the right could have been cloned off IMHO...nevertheless a fine work!
Regards
Angshu

adramad (27556) 2013-01-31 12:51

Μια πελάδα για να ζήσω!

Ένας τίτλος ενός οδοιπορικού που πρόσφατα διάβασα στο Traveller's Icons. Νομίζω ότι με λίγες λέξεις μπορείς να περιγράψεις τόσα πολλά! Μια φωτογραφία επίσης μπορεί να σε συνδέσει με στιγμές μοναδικές!
Κρυστάλλινη διαύγεια, γαλήνια ατμόσφαιρα!

Να είσαι καλά!

ourania (12397) 2013-02-09 1:08

Καλημέρα Δημήτρη,
με συγχωρεις για τη μεγάλη καθυστέρηση στο σχολιασμό της υπέροχης φωτογραφίας σου, για δυο εβδομάδες απείχα αναγκαστικά λόγω προβλημάτων στον υπολογιστή μου.
Η εικόνα σου δίνει μια παραμυθένια όψη στη λιμνοθάλασσα συνδυάζοντας τη γοητεία και το μυστήριο τηε βραδινής ώρας με μια μοναδική διαύγεια. Εξαιρετική η σύνθεση και ο φωτισμός, μαγευτική η απόχρωση του μπλε και η ατμόσφαιρα που δημιουργεί. Συγχαρητήρια και ευχαριστώ!
Να είσαι καλά, καλό Σαββατοκύριακο,
Ουρανία

s_lush (15590) 2013-02-09 23:53

Hello Dimitris,

A fantastic blue hour shot with good symmetrical reflections and excellent sharpness. I like the warm vs cold colour contrasts between the blue and yellow red illumination of the building. Well composed with nice starbursts on the white lights. Tfs!

kennyblack (4139) 2013-05-15 8:28

Hello Dimitris
Beautiful effect of light and color. The central point that is wrapped illuminated from 'blue sky and sea that seem to embrace the merger of color. I really like this your photo.
Thanks for the good work and sharing. The best greetings, have a nice day ... Marino
